Before I Start Writing About Fashion Cliches on Social Media

With the easy access to everything online, and the overwhelming amount of information telling you too many things that you don't need to know (what some spoiled little brat had for breakfast, what some silly bimbo just accidentally bought 5 minutes ago), the world is somehow becoming more and more boring and predictable. Don't you feel pathetic when you feel obligated to take 100 photos of your morning coffee and your dry feet with tacky nail colour, spend 10 minutes selecting and editing the photo, post it online, and refresh your Facebook or Instagram page every 5 seconds for the next two hours to see how many people out there who has nothing better to do but giving you a Like? 

At this point of my life, I realized I can still afford to waste some on meaningless things just to entertain myself, I decided that I will be looking at all the popular happy shiny people's accounts and do a absolutely useless summery of all the social media cliches, feel free to let me know what you hate the most and I promise I will give you a good report on that serious matter.

By the way, I googled "fashion cliche", and these are some of the articles that i found. Go read them, and you will realized even writing about clieches is such a cliche, again i am questioning myself why the hell would i want to start a blog like this.

1. "What are you wearing?" is practically programmed into your text autocorrect.
2. You just happened to "misplace" your boyfriend's heinous shorts.
3. A best friend with the same shoe size? Divine Intervention, as far as you're concerned.
4. You've squeezed into too-tight clothes because a store was sold out in your size.
5. You have trouble differentiating between need and want.
6. Losing or ruining a favorite shirt is akin to a Greek tragedy.
7. You never really outgrew dress-up and actually find that theme-dressing has helped you in your "grown-up" life.
8. You spend an undisclosed amount of time "filling your cart."
9. The word "SALE" plastered on a storefront elicits a visceral reaction.
10. You're the first of your friends to try a trend, even if it raises a few eyebrows.
