What fashion choice did you make that now secretly makes you cringe?

1. I shaved off my eyebrows and drew on a really terrible pair instead. I can’t believe no one told me how horrendous I looked, but then again, I didn’t have any friends back then. 😅

2. I went to a very fancy event in a gorgeous royal blue evening dress. My skin tone does not work with royal blue, no matter how gorgeous the dress. I have no idea how I didn’t see it back then, but when I stumbled upon a photo later, I looked pink and GREY. I looked like a zombie who’d been dead for 5 months. I guess I just jumped onto the overly simplified/completely off “if I’m cool toned I should wear cool toned” color theory bullshit back then, and was hellbent on it looking good, because it “should”. Horrible. I got those photos wiped and I hope they’re gone from everyone’s mind too.

   Also as someone who was a kid in the late 90’s-early 00’s, yes, I shaved my eyebrows and redrew them with a pencil. *shudders*

3. Basically every fashion choice I made from 2001-2009.

4. None, honestly – and I lived through the 80s as a teenager.

5. Low waisted jeans,ugh why

6. Made dozens of them, but the worst would be tattooing my hometown hockey team’s name on my knuckles.

7. My favorite pair of shorts growing up was a pair of khaki cargo shorts with Tweety on them. I wore those things everywhere.

8. Wild colors in my hair. Looking back at pictures, colors do not suit me. I looked like an X-men. My hair is already so blonde it’s white, coupled with pink, purple, green, etc. etc. it made me look like a comic book character. And not in a good way

9. Got chunky highlights ala Jack Barakat in high school.

10. I owned a camo jacket at one point because it was just the hot thing to wear in my high school. I hate it so much now. And that says something given the fact I rocked bright orange leg warmers for a month in college in the far back year of 2014.

11. None. If I weren’t big now I’d still wear everything I wore when I was younger.

12. I have very curly hair. When I was a teenager, I (for some ungodly reason) decided that wearing my hair curly but straightening my bangs was the cutest thing ever. Now I cringe at the thought.

13. I got a pixie cut after growing out my hair for 2 years. I hate it. So much.

    I’m a goddamn idiot. 🤦🏻🤦🏻🤦🏻

14. I used to wear a bandana as a top. Idk why???

15. None really? In high school I would sometimes wear a black petticoat as a skirt (like Madonna lol) but I was also the class goth weirdo

16. Lace trimmed camisoles in the 2000s
