Fashion Flashback

After spending the past 3 days clearing out my closet, I finally have a clean and usable space. And, because I came upon lots of hidden goodies while laboring away, I’ve chosen once again to humiliate myself to you all.

Today’s topic: why a walk down memory lane is not always a good thing.

Let’s start at the beginning (or close enough) - kindergarten. Why am I dressed like a flight attendant…Mom?

Moving on to second grade. Despite the missing teeth and mullet, I did not live in a trailer.

Fourth grade was the year I moved. New school. New friends. Of course, everyone thought I was a boy the first day of school. I ask you this: would a boy wear a turquoise shirt with silver studded stars?

The next year I got a perm. Probably the biggest mistake I ever made in style. But I thought it was bee-yooou-tiful! Notice the pink leggings, sky-blue turtleneck and white knit sweater. I was beyond proud of this outfit.

I don’t think it’s really fair to count this outfit as a fashion faux pas. I mean, anything goes when you’re camping, right? But still…tie-dyed sweatpants. It’s just too good!

What a difference two years can make. As a freshman in high school, this is when I discovered lipstick! As you can see, I’m still rockin’ the ever-popular Scrunchie, but I had discovered that I could cut my bangs as short as I liked and no one could do a thing about it. Ah, freedom!

By the time I graduated high school, I had gone back to wearing my hair short, but this time…it was blonde!

And pink…

And red (purple?)…

A few years later, my hair had grown back out and I had full-heartedly entered into my skanky tease phase. Could I please have more blue eye-shadow on?

And then I met Jason…and became a wife…

And stepmom…

And mom…

And that brings us to a close. What’s next, I wonder?
