What is one trend you originally thought you weren't going to follow, but then you changed your mind about?
My most recent one is wedge heels. I had a pair a few years ago and towards the end of that phase, I started thinking they looked really stupid. So, when people started wearing them a lot again, I thought, "no way." Then, I needed shoes in a hurry and the only ones I could find that fit the look I wanted were wedges. Now, I've bought 3 more pairs just for the spring/summer.
One from the past was ponchos. At first, when they were "in", I couldn't stand them, but I eventually jumped on board and loved them. Now, of course, I'm sick of them again.
1) skinny jeans: I thought I was loyal to bootcut and that skinny jeans made anyone look hippy, but now I love mine. I guess I got used to the silhouette, and there are so many variations that you can find one that is flattering.
2) flats: I wore heels everyday, and never thought I would give them up and diminish my tiny height, but they are so comfy and cute
I'm with rocky on the flats! In my old life people thought it was odd if I had on 2 inch heels because I looked shorter - I ALWAYS had on high heels. Now I live in ballet flats & flip flops.
I guess that goes in conjunction with comfy shoes - I used to have the attitude that I'd sacrifice comfort for cuteness - now I try to find both & will pass on completely uncomfortable shoes - I used to not care so much!

Definitely flats...I used to think I need the extra 2-3 inches heels provided. I'm with Laken and Rocky -- flats are so much more comforable and look cute!
I have a friend living in Italy and she came to the states with these 2-3 years ago, while the US was in the midst of a chunky-shoe fad. I couldn't believe how silly they looked, and now I can't live without my pointy boots!
Heels. I used to be a total sneaker-holic. If you would have told me 5 or ten years ago that I would love heels now, I would have told you you were off your rocker.
