2) Wearing a poncho as a skirt.

4) I used to wear various bandanas and my own mothers purple Doc Marten boots.

8) I had a black mesh top with *literally* floor length sleeves fashioned into cobwebs. It had 'vampyre' written in red across the chest. I LOVED it.

9) Dresses on top of jeans was my go to outfit. Also "The OC" style i.e. those little cheerleader skirts, strappy weird printed shirts, and long beaded necklaces.

21) I wore toothbrushes in my hair instead of chopsticks. People remembered it at my 10 year school reunion.

22) I'd have to say my red plaid Tripp parachute pants that had bondage straps, chains, and zippers all over them. I mostly wore them with all my Good Charlotte tees.

25) I remember my mom saying "why do all your shirts have to have writing on them?" (i.e ones that said cutie! or angel) I remember legitimately thinking "do they even make clothes without words on them? Why would you want a shirt that doesn't say anything?"
*Face palm*
