Childhood Fashion Faux-Pas

During a conversation with a friend today I remembered when I was a kid my parents used to make me wear husky pants from Sears that weren't long enough, "high waters". And when I was 8 I carried around a briefcase for school instead of a bookbag. And I had the "flat-top" hair cut.
Were you a childhood "fashion" victim?

I wore a dingy grey houston Aeros (hockey) t-shirt, green sweatpants that were too small, hair slicked back, long white socks, and NASTY play shoes for one of my elementary school pictures, mabye 4th grade.
I still look at the picture and laugh every time i see it........I now understand why none of the girls ever liked me!!!

As a young child I had uncontrollable curly hair that was never neat. It didn't help that I was always climbing, fighting, playing and doing other boy activities that would leave me messy. Pretty much all my school pics from the 1st to 4th grade are a train wreck. No wonder my parents never kept any of them.

This explains a lot of your social issues .

I had two, I had a sweet bowl cut for most of my youth. I just didn't like having to 'do my hair.' I always thought that was sooo girly. Just needed to quicky brush my hair straight every morning. The other was that I was so tall, but so skinny, either all of my shirts/pants were either so baggy or too short.

I sported a spike hairdo in the late 80s when I was a kid. It was so stiff it could have drawn blood.....

you are in your early thirties or very late 20's i suspect ...we also must have had the same mom -i had the pink & purple clothes and jellies. i too had the same haircut, my hair was blackish and i was reaallly pasty white - almost bluish so i got made fun of alot when i was in elementary school
