Fashion Victim of the 90s.

I was looking at old pictures today and started to feel a bit nostalgic/nauseous when I was looking at all the clothes my mother forced me to wear. I was a child of the 90s and while there were a few magical things that came out of that decade like NSYNC and F.R.I.E.N.D.S. the fashion was just horrific.

                I remember when I was around twelve years old my mom forced me to wear Oshkosh B'gosh overalls and these hideous Timberland boots to the local high school football game. And I couldn’t reason with her that Johnny, my secret crush, would just think I was a total loser if I wore those farmer clothes instead of my glittery Limited Too mini skirt. Moms have this sick fascination with dressing their children up in such a torturous way that it should be illegal in at least 30 states. I ended up hiding under the bleachers all night in fear of being seen by my classmates. You think I’m being dramatic? Just take a look at this train wreck that the 90s called fashion.

 

I also remember having this odd fascination with Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen. I didn’t have a twin, but I did have a best friend so we decide we would get matching pleather vests and round sunglasses so that we could look like twins when we went to school. Keep in mind my friend has platinum blonde hair and I have dark brown hair also she is a good 6 inches taller than I am, but that didn’t matter because those sunglasses were our disguise. We were too cool for school. 

When my mom wasn’t torturing me with Timberland boots she was taking on a whole new form of punishment by putting me in an oversized sweater with a huge teddy bear on the front of it. I looked ridiculous, and I’m sure all my friends had a good laugh behind my back about that disgusting sweater, but my mom thought I was just “cute as a button”. Ugh.

 

Bless my mom’s heart she is a sweet lady, but the plague of bad fashion takes no prisoners. We were both the victims of outrageous 90s fashion. Thank goodness that is in the past, I’m sure my Ugg boots and leggings will always be super stylish. (sarcasm to the max). Hope you had a good laugh at my misfortune!

With love,

Darcy.
