With the turn of the seasons, it's time to revisit my wardrobe, which leads me to consider fashion (intimidating), and then fashion trends (mystifying), and from there, trends in general — especially popular culture trends.

What I notice is that very few of them have anything to do with me, now that I've joined a demographic that popular culture doesn't seem to register at all.

Check out what it's like to be trend-exempt — and why I'm grateful for it.

You can also check out author Sara Petersen and her new book, Momfluenced: Inside the Maddening, Picture-Perfect World of Mommy Influencer Culture, available on Amazon or (better yet) Bookshop.org — also the articles referenced on Vox and Wired.
