I got pretty experimental in high school with some of my fashion choices. I was known to alter or make my own clothes to get exactly the look I was going for. Since my parents are moving, my mom has been cleaning out and recently sent me some of my experiments. I don't feel a need to keep these anymore, so they are being purged in preparation for our own move, but I thought you'd enjoy seeing some of my high school handiwork.
I know these aren't fashionable now, and I have a sinking feeling that they weren't back then either...
Sadly, my car wash skirt seems to have disappeared.

Wow, those first pants are...wow. :) The jeans are actually really cute, though. I'm just sad you don't have the orange courdoroy pants to share pictures of. I bet those were cute.
I had fun getting to see you guys today. Sorry I was such a low-energy, unentertaining guests. I'm just worn out. But hanging and watching the entertaining baby was awesome. :)
About that top picture...ummmm...what IS it? (are they?) Where, or to what, would one wear it (them)?
Just trying to understand female fashion....!
I am highly impressed you can FIT into your high school clothes, especially after giving birth!
That exactly what I was going to say! I can't believe you can fit into high school jeans!
And yeah, those first pants...wow. You actually wore those to school?
Here's the whole story: She bought the balloon tie dye pants on a vacation when she was, maybe 13? Then she got taller and they were too short, so being the creative type she is, she "altered" them. The DAY she wore them to school, her drama teacher said,"If you were looking for attention, you accomplished your goal." Also impressed that she can still wear them. . .
First of all, the jeans didn't hug my rear end quite so much in high school. Actually, they were quite baggy then.
Second of all, the really cool thing about the first pair is that, from afar, you can't see the strings, so it looks as if the bottom half of the pants are standing up on their own.
And such alterations wouldn't be necessary if pants were made long enough!
Wow, I, too am impressed that you can still get into those jeans. Personally, like everything else, I am SURE they will come back in style - at least keep them so show how you can still fit into them. The first outfit MUST have been a Halloween costume?????
Ron tried to put on one of his Air Force Uniforms - there was at least a 6 inch gap between the buttons and the holes. Some day I'll see how big the gap is in the waist of my Girl Scout Uniform!
Happy MOVE - The house is soo cute... Bronwyn
