I was with my family over Thanksgiving and as we were sitting in my grandma's living room, someone lifted a family photo off of the coffee table. It was a photo of all of grandma's grandchildren (my cousins) taken over 15 years ago.
The first thing everyone noticed was how much the fashions have changed. We laughed at the huge bangs, the slick hair, and the big glasses. Then my girl cousins and I reminisced about our horrific outfit choices during that era.
We started talking about the scary looking bangs in the picture. My mom would start my bangs further and further back with every haircut. Eventually my bangs started in the middle of my head and were very thick - yikes!
The other fashion faux-pa I remember from my childhood was the biker shorts and stretch pants. The stretch pants I would wear were black and had a strap on the bottom of the legs so that you could hook them under your foot. These would inevitably be paired with a large Christmas sweater.
I also mentioned biker shorts. I believe my favorite outfit in elementary school was a Beauty and the Beast outfit. The shorts were purple biker shorts with little pictures of characters from the movie all over it. The top was also purple (a color I despise now) it had a large picture of bell on the front. I wore the outfit often and might have worn it everyday if my mother had let me. A purple biker-shorts outfit, and bangs that started in the middle of my head; thank goodness we all grow up.
