RE: flashback *trends* remember when...

I am so glad there's finally a thread for my two favorite outfits of the early 90s!

5th grade: I spent my entire back-to-school budget on this outfit: dark green "Hammer pants" with tiny red flowers, a red shell with big black buttons, and a black blazer that had -- get this -- buttons that matched the pattern in the pants. HAWT!

6th grade: ruffled white "poet blouse" (it looked like the Puffy Shirt from Seinfeld) b& w blazer with huge houndstooth pattern, grey miniskirt & those oxford-looking shoes.

Oh, and remember the mid-late 90s? Did anyone else have like a thousand of those short kilt miniskirts with the buckles a la Clueless?

Ah, memories.

LOVE THIS THREAD...

My memories of bad fashion... to name a few

NEON BRIGHTS I remember my fave outfit when I was six was this black banded hot pink mini skirt with suspenders and a neon paint splattered shirt ?? WTF?

Scrunchies, I would always wear them on my wrist

Big sweater with tight multi colored leggings complete with scrunch socks and colored keds

My huge Esprit bag- it was decorated by an artist at Nordstrom with glitter puff paint!! I thought I was so cool, that was 4th grade

Of course I had skin tight jeans with zippers on the ankle complete with a tiny deniim bow

Oh yeah and halleybird... I idolized Cher on Clueless... of course I had tons of those kilt skirts and matching message shirts that said stuff like "Whatever, As if...

There are so many more...

a woman after my own heart. i had the hammer pants with a matching vest. my mom made the outfit for me and i was so proud of it.

i also had an outfit similar to your sixth grade outfit. fuschia blazer with huge lapels, a black mini, and the same shoes. and to top it off, i had a bowler hat. what can i say, blossom was my style icon.

eta: i posted b/f i read the entire thread. puffy paint...oh the memories. i used to have so many handmade sweatshirts.

my all time favorite outfit was laura ashley inspired. (she is personally responsible for my current fear of prints). my mom found a pattern and made me this outfit to wear the first day of school in 6th grade

but it was polka dot material. i thought i was so cool b/c i had these black keds to wear with them that also had a black sole. (my how times change i remember having to beg my mom for them b/c she thought $25 was too much to spend on shoes for me) and wore a big banana clip in my hair.
