+Belly button rings (thanks Glasses)
+Sunflowers and Daisies. And people are going to wear that shit on clothing and jewelry. Hella jewelry.
NOTE: Apparently it's SO already happening. the cuties at xojane totally beat me to this one. I got 'em on the sunflowers, though!
+Celestial patterns. Specifically moons and suns. This was really popular for dweebs like me when I was in the 6th grade. They all had chubby faces, too.
+"Bad" Looney Tunes. Gangsta Sylvesters, Naughty Tweeties, Tazmanian Devils in sideways baseball caps and muscle tees. And Slutty Betty Boops! I googled this Betty Boop situation only to discover that there are still quite a plethora of topical (and slutty) Betty Boop shirts being made right now, so maybe I'm actually not in the loop about that already being a thing. Again. Or maybe it's more of an "underground phenom", in which case you should probably stock up on some oversized tees with slogans like "mean girls rule the world" and "License to thrill" so you can be one of the people to cry "I was doing it first!" when Urban Outfitters starts re-issuing them. Again. For the first time.
+Beading! You can take your rehashed obsession with sunflowers and moons with chubby faces and put them on things to wear! Or mob on down to the bead shop, buy a loom and some seed beads, and spend the afternoon making "intricate" bracelets to share with your friends! Beading looms are great for making accessories to show off at your next outdoor concert or trip to the Bite of Seattle. It's the perfect marriage of Native American Obsession and Eternal Cat Lady. It's only a matter of time.
+Silverchair and Desree. Both of these artists deserve a comeback and you know it.
+HEMP! If beading and sunflowers are going to get popular then right around the corner MUST BE the always-in-style, always appropriate hemp necklace. Trade with your friends! Put your ancient Summer Camp craft skills to use! EVERYONE LOVES SOME WOVEN FUCKING HEMP AROUND THEIR NECK!
While you think that over for a minute I'm going to go put on my still-cool babydoll dress, drink some iced tea from a can, practice my slam-poetry, listen to Third Eye Blind and hunt down one of those super feminist "SLUT" rings for my bellybutton.
