Just for Cab. PIP your middle school style!!

[bimbi284]

I posted this in another thread:


So I'll add this one for good measure:


Pretty sure this whole outfit is courtesy Contempo Casual!


and this one where I think I'm such a badass with my patchwork shorts and chain necklaces. Also, fun fact, my friend Laura in the pic just had a baby girl 3 hours ago!!!

OMGAH. You're so cute. I wish I had some middle school pics but they're all at my mom's. I was big into JNCO pants and peroxide in my hair. I was much less cute than bimbi.

I am sooo glad I don't have many pictures of me in middle school, at least none that have been scanned.

Just picture oversized clothes, braces, and thick glasses. Then in 8th grade I got a sweet haircut and was mistaken for a boy. Best years of my life!

Mine are at home. I had one of those HUGE madras jumpers with a green tee on for my 8th grade picture. I had a short curly bob and glasses, but it actaully didn't look awkward.

In middle school, I was punk rock and badass all the way. Super short hair (buzzed or pixie), Docs, and lots of attitude. No pics necessary.

bimbi, your middle school pics are way cute. i'm afraid to post mine! (i don't even know if i have any scanned...)

[photon]

i had the hair sprayed bangs, shorts with the capri tights with lace on the bottom, crazy jewelry, tiny mini skirts, and sometimes silver lipstick with washable marker colored hair (!!!)

oh yes, i was definitely a fashion icon

i am unsure how my parents let me out of the house!

Woooo hoooooo!!!! Here is me in 7th grade:
My mom was soooo mad when she found out I wore lipstick. This was the start of my cosmetic obsession!

[natablue]

Bimbi and Cab, you were both so cute!

Oooh so sassy!! I love this!

How are we the only ones with middle school/junior high pics readily available?

[bethaboo]

Thanks to my mom's recent delivery of my middle and high school boxes, I can play. This first one is from my 8th grade yearbook:



The next one is the summer before 8th grade. I loved the open button shirt over a too-short tank top look.



And, finally, early pattern mixing, the summer before 6th grade.

[kkloth]

6th grade with hubs. Hairspray, what?? Also please note hubs' silk shirt. One of many. Oy.



For shits and giggles - anyone else do the whole head to toe oversized Adidas look? Unfortunately I did at after-prom.



Hands down most embarrassing picture posted by someone on FB:


Thank you old babysitter. can't believe I just posted that...for shame.

[kkloth]

Nah, not the whole time. We broke up for a while and got back together in high school. I dumped him bc I was bored and be hated me for a while. Apparently I was the bitch that broke his heart. Oops!

I wish I had pics. This was totally me. My pants were so big they looked horrid but I loved them. I also went from red to pink hair quite frequently. My style icon was Gwen Stefani. I made my boyfriend take me to all the No Doubt concerts.

Everyone looks super cute. Thanks for sharing.

[hz80408]

Too cute ladies! Renata- you totally look the same!

Me in 7th grade. My parents tease that I look like a long-lost Hanson brother in this pic:


This is H and I's first "date"; the day we started dating, 8th grade, Junior Homecoming (we're on the far right).

Embarrasing fact: H STILL has that soccerball Ambercrombie polo!

[summerkutie]

I don't have any pics.. they are all at my mom's home in CT and should be in a pile to be burned!

Goodness... me in middle school was NOT cute. I had glasses (that were not cute) and I loved Contempo for all those polyester shirts, and I rocked a lot of LEI and Mudd jeans, Airwalks, Jnco jeans, ball chain necklaces, big 70's flower necklaces... I was all over the place but I thought I looked super cool. I also used to raid not my mom's but my dad's closet and would wear his jeans and rip holes in them (much to his dismay) and wear his flannel shirts. He couldn't believe his teenage daughter wanted to wear his clothes! Oh and I had a few pairs of overalls that I wore with one of the buckles undone so it would hang...

[adlove]

Haha I love seeing these! I don't have any middle school pics, but I found this one.

I'm probably about 3 or 4, wearing my own design. This is when I knew I had that "fashion passion" in me! HA
Also I think maybe I just woke from a nap...

I think we're 7th style twinsies! Seriously, this was me. All of it. I definitely went through a flannel/grunge phase. And I had like 4 pairs of airwalks!

[photon]

you are all adorable! i love it.

LOL me too! Except I did the girliest possible version of all of this, lol. Like, my JNCOs HAD to have a super cute design on the butt pocket, not something super grungy or punk. All my airwalks were fun colors like blue, or had some sort of sparkly design on them (some things never change), and I did flannel and button ups over graphic tees but a little less grungy and more fitted than most girls...thus making me stick out like a sore thumb, but I loved it!

True story, one of my favorite button ups that I still wear to this day was purchased when I was in 7th grade for $5 at a Ragstock. Its kind og western looking, but its light blue with pearl snap buttons, and is made of some crazy fabric that pretty much never stains or wrinkles.

[lostarz]

Does anyone remember I.O.U? Omg, these were THE shirts to have!



I specifically remember having a light purple T-shirt with black stripes, and a white sweatshirt with purple/pink/blue writing.

I also remember the brand Used. I had an outfit that was like, patchwork capri leggings with red/blue/yellow/green patches and a white shirt with some of the same patchwork on it, to match.

And let's not forget the braces and a dreaded perm!

[hz80408]

YES IOU!!!

[fashionx]

I'm sorry I missed being on the board yesterday what a great thread. I don't have many scanned/digital photos from middle school on my computer. My dad first got computer and internet when I was in 7th grade, and we got a digital camera when I was in 8th grade. These are so bad.. I was such a beanpole!

8th grade graduation:

[bimbi284]

Oooh fashion! That's some goooooood stuff there! I love the strappy sandals and hair clips for your graduation! LOL!

[fashionx]

OMG Bimbi I had sooo many of those clippy things! Many colors, designs. I was such a Claire's whore between hair clips and nail polish.
