What trends did you wear that now embarrass you?

Original post by JanuaryBride06

The big old champion sweatshirts - why? I had a purple one and my brother still calls me Grimace for it.

Flannel shirts. I was 13 and soooo not grunge, it's painful to see myself in pics from 13-15 exclusively in plaid. PS Melissa of the past - it's not grunge when you buy them from J. Crew.

The platform shoes with big old bell bottoms. Especially the leopard print platform shoes that I rocked in 1999 forever immortalized in my pictures - so, so hot.

I wasted my skinny years in oversized flannels (early college) I thought that I was 'cute' that my wardrobe matched my boyfriend's.

And I agree with Lori on the whole middle school thing.

6th through 9th grade, should just totally be forgotten.

And, Melissa RE: the champion sweatshirts...I always had to wait for them to go on sale before I could get one and ended up with the WORST colors!



I had a mustard yellow one, too. I retired that one after two wears - it was that ugly.
