I was chatting with Nina at The Cozy Pages earlier, and some questionable fashion choices from my past came up. I promised that I would post some pictures of these choices for a Throwback Thursday post, so HERE THEY ARE!! (Keep in mind, a lot of my choices now probably aren’t much better!!)
My grade 8 Graduation… keep in mind, the glasses are 3D glasses with the lenses popped out. You will see that powder blue bucket hat A LOT! I don’t think it left my head for about 2-3 years.
The High school years. I wanted to be a hippie.
I stole all of my dad and grandfather’s ties and used to wear them all the time! (Okay… I may still have a few of those and may still bust them out here and there!)
My High School prom (I shaved my head a little while before this and this is my hair growing back… I’m talking Sinead O’Connor… I’m talking G.I Jane. This is what I used to do when I was bored. I was driving around with my boyfriend at the time one day and said something about shaving my head, he said “you want to?” so we went into his backyard and shaved all my hair off. My older sister was so embarrassed she told everyone I had cancer.) You can’t really tell, but the dress has spiderwebs all over it, and the “cape” I’m wearing is a silk skirt that I had.
Well, now that I’ve made a fool of myself, TIME TO HAVE A DRINK!!
CHEERS!!
aw you’re so adorable!
