#<- my standards for celebs r understandably higher because they got cash

thank you for linking the list! I'm sorry I completely missed it. I have to admit I'd mostly agree with you on those looks (I didn't love the gingham dress at the end of the favourites list, and also I really like the blue one you were ambivalent on).

The second part of the ask was just general, too (not taylor related). I also took a look at the collection and, although it's not really my style/taste, they are all gorgeous!

I have another question, if you're willing to indulge me - what are your favourite (and least favourite) trends right now (clothing, make up, overall style, whatever). (also not taylor related, btw, though you can go that way if you want).

It's okay! It's a rather old post!!! And if by "the blue one" you mean Grammys 2015, I KNOW it's a beloved look but I just don't like it at all :/ it feels very of it's time to me, not in a good way!

And EXCELLENT question, thank you! As a big 70s and 90s chic girlie, I am elated that these kinds of styles are pretty in right now – I purchased three of those flared black leggings this year and am absolutely obsessed with them. Comfy yet chic. I can also appreciate the resurgence of biiiig pants simply because they are hot and also rather comfortable to wear (although I have not found a pair for me yet). While the 2000s resurgence unfortunately also comes with the resurgence of a specific body ideal, I can appreciate that it injects a fun pop of playfulness and color into the fashion scene. I have also come around on low rise pants bc sexiiie, but low rise big jean skirts are a no from me... I also am personally not that into the whole maximalism trend, but it is fun to see people be bold and out there with their looks. Which is actually something I really love about makeup right now: I feel like thanks to stuff like Euphoria and the graphic liner trend in general, people have started to be more Out There with color and glitter and make-up has become a tad more of a statement rather than just an attempt to "look good", which is also my personal approach to makeup (blue eyeshadow my beloved). Also generally speaking: I LOVE seeing a person out and about who just has A Style, where you can see why they picked and paired pieces together, even if I personally wouldn't wear the look. I can always admire a sense of self and a sense of style.

On a less positive note: The ever changing trend cycles and influencer culture lead to overconsumption of fashion which is very much a bad thing. I am frequently shocked at the way big fashion people talk about buying stuff ("I HAD to get this but I don't know how to style it yet so let's see what I can come up with!" – why buy something that you don't know what to do with?). My no. 1 basic fashion advice will always be: Before buying something, think about how it will fit into your closet and what items you can pair it with, so you don't have to buy a whole new outfit to make one piece work.
