1. First of all, you either had an emo phase...
2. ... or a preppy phase that involved a lot of Abercrombie and Hollister.
3. If you were an emo you were all about Claire's clip in pink hair extensions.
4. You probably had an extensive collection of studded belts.
5. And you definitely wrote some meaningful stuff on the soles of your Converse.
6. If you were more preppy in 2007 you probably had a mild addiction to gradual tanning lotion.
7. You tried to make your nails look like this with just Tip-Ex.
8. And you definitely tried out using concealer as lipstick at least once.
9. No matter what side of the divide you were on you spent days of your life straightening your hair.
10. You spent hours customising your MySpace so it truly reflected your personality.
11. You wore your thong so that it always showed above your trousers.
12. This combo was a go-to outfit for you for almost all weathers and occasions.
13. You tried to cram as much information about your love life into your MSN name as possible.
14. You used these hairclips to give yourself a whole new style.
15. And thought Skins was the most outrageous TV program ever.
16. You listened to songs your friends downloaded from Limewire on your iPod nano.
17. You tried to convince your parents to buy you a Blackberry because then you could BBM for free, instead of texting.
18. If you wanted to look "indie" you'd wear a t-shirt with this exact font on it.
19. If you wanted to look sophisticated you'd wear a pashmina.
20. You knew that shrugs were the perfect solution to keeping warm in a smart/casual environment.
21. All your jeans had to be skinny, super low rise, pre-faded, and preferably slightly too long for you.
22. You wore ballet pumps, no matter what the weather conditions were.
