I wish....

..cold shoulder tops and dresses would go away.
Granted I own one or two, but to be honest I am just over seeing them everywhere and on everyone.

It's played out already. I can't wait for that trend to head off into the sunset.

Re: I wish....

I agree, I want to like them but I don't. It seems every clothing store is showing so much of that.

Re: I wish....

I just feel like it is starting to look like you are trying too hard
I don't know....
Just the feeling I get.
I think the trend is overplayed.

I could not agree more. They are EVERYWHERE - I feel like I can't find normal shirts and tank tops anymore. Even online it's like 85% cold shoulder tops. Really wish it would go away.

OMG I HATE THEM!!!

All I can envision when I see them is looking like Theresa Caputo with the long fake nails and a hairstyle stuck in the 90's. Basically, its for women who can't grasp that they are no longer in their 20's and are trying too hard.

LOL. I concur, yet caved today and bought a plain black one because it looked cute with a pair of pants I wanted and was 50% off (Thanks, Loft). Now, I'm mad at myself for that moment of weakness and will return it promptly.

YES!!! This is probably worse than the 8 year old wearing it because, let's be real, her cold shoulder wearing mom probably bought it for her!

I think what prompted this thread was a picture I saw on FB that is similar to what you describe.
They seem to be the uniform of a lot of middle aged women who are trying to be edgy.

This thread is seriously cracking me up! Tears in my eyes.

I am middle aged- sadly. I guess 40 is considered to be.
I have an 8 year old daughter that has one of these shirts because I thought it looked cute for kids but hated them
for myself.

THEN I decided that so many of my friends looked great in them that I bought a few. Hahaha. I will now chuckle any time I wear one. :)

Don't get me wrong, I"m 43 and I have a shirt too. I really liked the shirt so I looked the other way on the shoulders. But I saw a pic or 2 of myself in it and I was like Chat Icon . Maybe it doesn't look as good as I thought.

And then all I see on FB is women in these shirts. It's like they can't purchase anything other than it to "go out"
And I started getting sick of seeing them. Sometimes trends, much like songs on the radio, get ruined due to overplay!

I have 2 sweaters and one summer top. But I'm over it as well.
It's every single top and every single dress. I just went a normal tank top.

Same! I saw a picture and my shoulders looked awful.
In a sleeveless top though, my shoulders look fine.
It also feels like I'm wearing rags when I wear it. Like it got ripped and is hanging off of me.
