Trying to liven things up...

[bimbi284]

This board is slow.
I blame all y'all having babies and wandering over to the mommy boards. Stop it!!

Anyways, please discuss and share photos if you've got 'em of your favorite clothing items from age 10, 12, 15, and 18.

I figured this would be entertaining and embarrassing enough to get things going.

Make sure to PIP!!!

When I was 10, my favorite thing to wear was stirrup pants, western booties and oversized sweaters.

[bimbi284]

So basically this, but the booties made it awesome:

That's me when I was 2. My momma made my outfit. I still have that Santa ring.

In middle school I wore penny loafers, dingo boots & wanted a pair of blue suede clogs.

In high school I was a product of the 80's.

Woman...are you flipping the camera the bird?

ditzydi - we start young in NC with our sass.

Apparently.  Ha.

Oh man, I'm going to have to find some middle school/high school pictures at home tonight.

Middle school was a lot of adidas soccer sandals with socks, biker shorts with baggy shirts, and big bangs.  It also involved a lot of overalls and sunflowers.

High school was a lot of used levis and goodwill sweaters with doc martens and hemp necklaces. Or floral babydoll dresses.  Very much this........

I was boring. Tshirt and jorts until I graduated college. Seriously.

[blondemoment123]

Printed leggings and matching shirts.
Oh and twinsets.

Sadly, I cannot find pics of most of my horrendous outfits, but I was all about my yellow spandex shorts at 10. I think I was into my crushed velvet floral shift at 12. Too many logo ON and Aeropostale shirts at 14. I do have an18 yo pic courtesy of a friends TBT posts...



The year before is discovered contacts and I loved Delias and Charlotte Russe for camis/corsets for the 18+ dance club. Sigh.

At 10 I dressed like I do now. In leggings and giant sweaters. I hated stirrups so I would cut mine off.

Middle school I liked wide leg jeans, never owned JNCOs though. And I stole flannels from my dad. I need to dig up photos but I would dress somewhere between Clueless (jumpers or skirts with baby tees), and grunge.

Sent from my Moto X using Proboards.

I was recently looking through photos of my backpacking trip through Europe. It would have been the summer of 1992. We were all wearing biking type shorts, oversized t shirts, fanny packs, and white tennis shoes. It was hideous! What were we thinking?

[char217]

I am sticking to my teens. This was pretty much my every day attire . I thought I was the ultimate 80's chick. I embraced it to the fullest!

[char217]

How could I leave out these?

[treedimensional]

At these ages, which I only vaguely remember, I had no fashion sense, and mostly wore frumpy ensembles consisting of jeans and t-shirts. Around age 16 or 17 I started needing "going out drinking" clothes. I chose matronly suits because I never got carded when I wore them.
Around age 19 I cut my hair short and espoused a punk rock look. I dyed it crazy colors and wore slutty clothes. The most useful hair color was grey, again to facilitate underage drinking.
That's all I remember. It was a long, long time ago. I was already an adult when a lot of you (on this board) were babies.

same!!!!

I went through quite the style evolution from the ages of 11 to 14, in the hey day of contempo casual, wet seal, ragstock, delias, etc. I went from looking like an extra from clueless, to my flower power phase where all I wore was flares, platforms, and floral polyester shirts, to jnco jeans and baby tees. It was awesome, and I still have a couple of my fave shirts from that era and still wear them, lol.
I also of course went through the babydoll dresses with doc martens phase.

I owned this shirt and necklace:

I still have the floral shirt peeking in on the right


And this purple keyhole shirt:

8th grade?


Freshman year, party in my parents basement, lol. That tank looks innocent, but it was open in the back:

[scout8]

I think I was around 11 in this one, so early 80's.



This was senior year so late 80's. Too large sweater and acid washed jeans.



You can't tell what I am wearing in this one, but I thought you would appreciate the hair! Senior year 1989!



ETA: I have no idea what I was wearing in that first photo. I don't think I normally walked around in matching half shirt/shorts outfits. I sure hope not!

[bimbi284]

Omg scout8 that hair is incredible!

[ilovebed]
