Oh god...I went through so many of these! The skinny scalf, the low rise bootleg jeans 😬 my boobs popping out of a figure hugging waistcoat (I once wore only this with nothing underneath - trying to be 'sexy' with my pierced belly button on show). I ritually wore a trilby hat too. Realising in hindsight that I really just wanted the waistcoat & hat because I wanted to be a dapper gentleman. But the boobs & belly button got people to buy me drinks 🤷
Oh, god, I'm having visceral flashbacks of desperately trying not to flash my buttcrack every time I did anything but stand up perfectly straight. The chewed-out, heel-shaped holes in the bottoms of my jeans bemoaning the over-abundance of fabric in an inconvenient place, fabric that could have been better used to add at least another inch to that 3-inch zipper at the top. Muffin-top and butt-top galore.
Did you also attempt to purposely tan shapes onto your skin? I'm borderline ginger and just burned, peeled, and then went back to shades a la ghost around the shapes instead.
EVERYTHING WITH THE JEANS. THE PULLING THE RIDIC HIP-HUGGING SHIRT DOWN. THE ICONIC BIRDS AND TREES SHIRT. And I literally had that same belt which only did an okay-ish job keeping my pants up. Yup. Being an awkward ‘00s teen feels
Omg Nate never have I seen something I so relate to. I “developed” VERY early and none of the clothes ever looked right on me. A terrible time to be a teen.
i have an unorthodox amount of oversized sunglasses because they are literally the only fashion item that makes me feel good about myself so i feel the smile on this face so hard 😆
Omg the second page. I still feel the fucking chewed up bottoms of my jeans, dragging behind me 😭
The bottoms of my jeans- forever gross
Help I’m having war flashbacks

whyyyyyy do pants gap in the back so baddddd
You know what, I'm treating myself to some clothes I've been wanting to get for a while.
Reading this reminded me I should appreciate that I don't have to deal with buying from the girls section during the early 2000s anymore.
I do deserve a cool racing jacket after wearing lycra t-shirts and low rise tight jeans for years. It's called reparations, baby ✨

oh no this is making me flashback to the unfortunate term "whale tail"
I didn't even have a whale tail since I went to a VERY conservative school--I had Granny-Panty-Band Bunch.

The giant sunglasses at the end @u@
Ok I adore cornflakes
Oh. Oh my. Past you made some...decisions, didn't they.
That said, the second to last outfit (the sailor dress/top with pants) looks adorb.
The last one with the giant sunglasses cracks me up so much. <3

the layers, my god, the layers!! The Sisyphean task of trying to cover my ass crack in low risers with a cami that was always rolling up
You sure are bringing back memories of some of my own choices
