    Every year around the Oscars, I happen to catch a segment on some fashion show telling me what the newest trend is, based on this year's hit movies. I recall the first of these segments aired a couple years back during a pre-Oscar lineup. I was informed that with the success of the Pirates of the Caribbean franchise, I would start to see a lot of people in new blockbuster-inspired fashions.

    What I loved most was when they mentioned that "even moms could get in on the trend." Really? Even frumpy ol' moms could get in on the crappy trend some PR person thought up to help put tushes in seats? Wow, we moms are lucky. Here are a couple of those fashions touted to us that I find truly ridiculous:

    You can tell a lot about a person by his or her workout gear. Some people's gym clothes seem worn to hide the body -- baggy sweats, oversized, long-sleeved T. I've seen people wearing what looks like regular work clothes on the treadmill. Like maybe they couldn't change before they came to the gym? Maybe they didn't want to? And then there are the people who go all out with the sexy -- butt-hugging Spandex shorts, cropped bust-hugging Spandex half-tops. Not to mention full-makeup, hair, and earrings. But I don't think I've ever seen anyone sexy up her workout quite as much as Courtney Stodden. You have to take a gander at her workout outfit. Tell me your jaw doesn't drop. You're lying.

    In the past 30 years, many accepted practices have changed. What people considered normal and safe back then -- transporting your newborn in the front-seat, having a latchkey kid at age 6, and letting them explore the woods with no parental guidance -- is pretty much grounds for arrest these days. But, in that simpler time they call the '80s, there were some great ideas that I'm thinkin' we should totally revive -- the way Disney Channel stars have brought back overly-sequined attire, off-the-shoulder shirts, and leopard print day-glow leggings!

    Thanks, Shake It Up, I can barely look at my daughter without retinal strain!

    Let's be clear: some of these suggestions could possibly get you arrested (by Joan Rivers and the fashion police), but I think they're worth bringing back, or are they? You decide ...

    Be honest, how many days a week do you go to get dressed with every intention of putting on a cute outfit -- only to break down and throw on yoga pants because they're just so darn comfy you can't help yourself?

    All moms do it, because we're smart, and because it's a whole hell of a lot easier to manage the gazillion things we have to do on any given day if we aren't confined by zippers, buttons, and the like.

    Just yesterday, I woke up and went to the closet and grabbed a pair of jeans, and then the work-at-home mom in me kicked in and said, "Wait a minute -- I'm not leaving the house today, so why waste a good pair of jeans? Yoga pants it is."

    Catelynn Lowell and Tyler Baltierra kind of know, technically speaking, what's up. The couple have repeatedly blown us away with their maturity and wisdom (except for the time Catelynn was photographed with a bong, oof, bad move), and now they've done it again. The dynamic duo has teamed up with Tasc clothing line to bring awareness to their favorite charity, Bethany Christian Services, the adoption agency that helped them place their daughter, Carly.

    Not only do some of the proceeds go to the charity, but Catelynn and Tyler picked a clothing line that's pretty damn cool. The clothes are made of a rather interesting material.

    SAHMs and WAHMs get a bad rap sometimes for wearing workout clothes all day long, but as a work-at-home mom myself, I can tell you that I often put on workout gear instead of regular clothes in the mornings, simply because getting DRESSED for the gym is half the battle!

    If I'm dressed and ready to work out, I'm a lot more likely to actually GET MY YOU-KNOW-WHAT TO THE GYM. Make sense?

    If you're like me, though, your workout wardrobe is nothing to write home about.

    That's why I've scoped out some workout gear options that'll make you look good inside and outside the gym. Added bonus? They're not skin tight, so you won't have to feel self conscious about your figure while you're out and about!

    Click through to see a few great options!

    Heidi Klum went running the other day -- in a skirt.

    I'll admit that at first, it looked a little weird to me.

    In fact, I've seen a few female runners here in Nashville wearing skirts, and it looked a little weird to me on them, too.

    But then I looked up fitness skirts online, and now, I have to say, I'm sort of liking the look.

    Want to see why?

    My husband has coached girls' soccer for years, and so the Women's World Cup has been on 24-7 here at the Ferrier house.

    I enjoy watching the women's teams play as well, but one thing that has stood out in all of the games I've watched (besides the awesome plays, of course) is the cool new hairstyle many of the women's players are wearing.

    Rather than going with the elastic bands of yore to keep back stray bangs, many of them have opted for a French braid, woven into a ponytail.

    There's this traditional French braid, sported by a goalie in the Australia vs. Norway match-up.

    And then there's another way favored by the US team, which involves French braiding the front section of hair into a sort of headband style, and pulling the rest back into a ponytail.

    Want to see how to do it yourself?
