i used to have a couple pairs of vans shoes back when i was in high school...i stopped buying 'em after someone stole the last pair i bought off of the front stoop of my dad's apartment; it'd rained outside so they were sitting out there to dry. one of our meth-headed new neighbors downstairs stole 'em.

Skidz!

And what's wrong with Vans? I loooove vans!

OMG...I forgot about those!

*Marithe + Francois Girbaud (The cut of their jeans has always been ferocious, but they went WAY too hip hoppy )
*Nike and Adidas (nothing wrong with them, just that everybody does them)
*Abercrombie & Fitch (Great quality, but the tacky logos and lettering ruins everything)
*I've also come to terms with Benetton. Their stuff remains very cool in theory, but I could never quite rock the Rainbow Brite look.

oh lawd, i just remembered: back when i was in junior high my cousin bought boosted this dip-dyed denim outfit for me (it was light blue denim that had the lower half of the outfit dipped in this coral color)...i forgot what brand it was. all i remember is that i thought i was super-dope while wearing it.

Hypercolor shirts were kinda gross, because they would reveal a little too much about someone's body, LOL. You could see every fat roll on a person, not to mention the armpits would change color.

In highschool, every freaking kid was wearing those IOU sweaters and Cavaricci pants.

I loved Jams though, they were alot of fun to wear and comfortable. Much better than those polyester 80's workout shorts with the white trim on the bottom, LOL.

In the 80's and 90's I was obsessed with wearing hi-tops. I felt weird wearing anything else. Looking back I don't know what the heck I was thinking, because they were uncomfortable as hell, the sides would dig into my legs.

i used to have a pair of checkerboard vans! i've been thinking about getting another pair of 'em, maybe in black. those suckers were comfy.

that's what my denim outfit was, z. cavaricci...for some reason i kept thinking it was unionbay, but i know unionbay wasn't that hot.

Those checkerboard Vans are still worn today. I see too many of them now though....which is why I stopped wearing mine. I used to have those L.A Gears with the lights in the sole And what's wrong with Members Only jackets? I'd still wear one today. I'm looking for a pink one like the one I had when I was little. I remember my brother had a burgandy one. My mama was always buying us the same stuff.

Eww....I do remember my mama buying some stuff by Cherokee. I see it's making a comeback though at Target.

The area where I work still sells those

Moccasins are a big deal around here.

My favorite 6th grade outfit.

1) tan Angel Flight pants
2) Gold button up shirt
3) necklace that said "Disco is #1"
4) platform boots that had a little pocket on the side

I'm not f'ing kidding.

pictures, please.

Louis Vutton and Troop!?!?

You may have had bad taste, but you certainly weren't broke!

LV can be pretty classy, actually. As long as it's not a bad knockoff and it's not a thousand pieces with the LV print all over them. Makes you dizzy at a point.

Oh Lawd!! Only you can make me do this, Deja!!!!!

Well here's the shirt at least.





Are you diggin' the hair. My mom cut it. I'm sooooo embarrassed.
