" Out with the old and in with the new. The year 2010 holds infinite possibilities for your wardrobe, but first you have to contend with that big fat pile of bad style choices taking up space in the back of your closet. So what stays and what goes? Take a deep cleansing breath, grab some garbage bags, and get ready to say bye-bye to these unfortunate 2009 trends. 1. UGGS Are Just So Ugh -- Seriously, they may be comfortable, but they&amp;#039;re sooo U-G-G-L-Y. Not only are they played out, but they&amp;#039;re also a major fashion misstep if you&amp;#039;re looking to create a streamlined winter look to carry you from classes to your internship. European-styled boots are definitely the way to go (these distressed black leather ones from Aldo for $84.00 are to die for!), since they can easily be dressed up or down. 2. Your Low-Riders Are So Last Year - Newsflash: Nobody&amp;#039;s interested in scoping your thong or butt crack. Get thee to Goodwill and then go straight to the store and pick up some nice skinny jeans that actually fit your backside. 3. Say Bye-Bye to Your Conversation Tees - Urban Outfitters may think you can&amp;#039;t live without one, but I say let this trend just die already. Everybody has them, they&amp;#039;re not a conversation-starter, and if you truly want to show off your unique style, invest in a cool graphic tee (like this pretty one from Delias) instead. 4. Stop Dressing Like a Picnic Table -- I like plaid, I really do. It&amp;#039;s just that it&amp;#039;s everywhere right now, which means it&amp;#039;s already on the way out. Scale back on this lumberjack look before your closet resembles a Kurt Cobain shrine. 5. Permanently Retire Your Sweats and Invest in a Cocktail Dress -- You want to be taken seriously? Stop dressing like a slob. A cool cocktail dress like the some of ones featured in our recent U Chic Holiday Looks For Less article are all staple items you can glam up or play down. I love adding leggings, tall boots, cardigan and a beret into the mix to create a chic, comfortable look that transcends what everyone else is wearing. After all, if you&amp;#039;re going to invest in a new wardrobe next year, you might as well be a standout! Check out UniversityChic for more fashion ideas!
