The played out teen genre

I just watched the pilot for Starcrossed and I can't believe I was able to finish the episode. It started out alright with a little girl helping a little alien boy. Then with a fast forward 10 years later we were suddenly in a teen genre that was all too familiar. As soon as the show mentioned a 'sector' I groaned. I love new books or shows that are different, and I will read or watch something recommended to me. Unfortunately, as soon as something becomes a hit in the teen scifi/fantasy genre, there are many copycats. First the vampire genre was a big hit, and there were vampires everywhere, and now the recent topic is the post apocalyptic world where you must choose something at the age of 16. I find that amusing since you're not considered an adult until you reach 18 or 21 for the majority of things. Why would that change in the future?

Keywords/Phrases:
*Sector
*Social Suicide
*Sorting

*Main character is either 16, or about to be 16 and the plot centers around their 16th birthday
*The love interest boy is in the 'wrong crowd' (vampire, alien, poor, whatever)
*High school cliques are mentioned

I just couldn't get into the show because there were so many cliches. Maybe it got better, but I didn't try to watch any more episodes.

DIY Halloween Costumes- Isabela from Encanto

I found a ton of cute lavender dresses a’la Isabela from Encanto. I started with tulle to give the princess feel, and also included more comfortable options. You can get away with just the flower behind your ear, but I think the added ones throughout the hair are more Isabela. I added two options, but Shein does have many options for hair flowers. Oh and use my code at Shein for 10% off your order! The first 3 dresses are Shein sizes 2-12. This first dress definitely will make you feel like a princess! These shoes are the most accurate to the cosplay as well. Tulle Dress Mary Jane Ballet Flats Large Flower hair clips Small Flower hair clips Dress option 2 is more casual and looks so comfy. You could wear this more often after displaying. As it’s more casual, I also added more casual flats. Off Shoulder Ruffle Dress Lavender Flats 2nd Option mini flower hair clips Large Flower hair clips Halloween costumes always have a short sexy option, right? A short tulle flor

90s Style Categories

Denim, tie dye, backward baseball caps, bright colors, overalls, and knee highs are just some of the things that remind most people of the 90s. I'm horrified when I look back at most pictures I have as a child, as I dressed more like Nickelodeon's Clarissa and Alex Mack instead of like the more trendy 90s styles. I wore tshirts with denim shorts and overalls quite often. One thing I miss about those days is the comfort. I was not aware of most of the 90s fashions that were available at the time (hey we didn't have internet yet) and I basically wore whatever my parents bought me. It was nice to be able to dress for comfort! Kids nowadays seem to be beyond their years and dress much older than their age. I've been thinking of having a 90s party this year, and this time perhaps I'll actually dress in a different 90s style that I never wore when I was younger. I'm breaking down some of the styles into categories below. These are categories in my mind
