trends i don't get

While looking through some online sale stuff a while back,
I came across some trends that thoroughly disturbed me and it made me wonder why the poop some things are popular...and how much longer they will even be considered "trendy".
I took a leaf from "How Not to Dress Like a Mom"'s book while writing this :)

Flatforms

 They look like flotation devices.

Wedges and heels are supposed to make you walk taller, look thinner, and make your butt look higher and tighter.

What do flatforms do?!

The opposite??

Mullet/Hi-lo Skirts
I slight Hi-Lo I feel is acceptable...
 but when the highs are half-way up your thigh and the lows are dragging on the ground?
Why?!

The Jcrew Bubble Necklace aka The Blogger Necklace

I saw the bubble necklace a while ago on the Jcrew site and was like: 

"Oh, that's pretty cute! The price tag though? Bleh."

Then every blogger ever known to blogspot now owns the bubble necklace.

People come into Francescas asking for the bubble/blogger necklace.

WHAT THE.

There is so much going on with that necklace I feel like it would fall into the grand canyon known as my cleavage and be lost forever.

What is a trend you just don't get?

P.S. You all had some way cool ideas on what type of party I should throw for my 21st b-day! Stay tuned and I'll write up some ideas and dash in some pictures for you on what I'm planning :)
