I’ve always been fashion impaired. I used to have endless fights with my mom about my outfits growing up. At the time I thought she was just being mean and trying to control me, but looking back I realize she was just trying to keep my from looking like a walking garbage can. I also find that it’s better to laugh at yourself and what you’re bad at instead of being upset and insecure about it. So for the whole world to see, or at least the people who read my articles (Hi Mom!), I’ve recalled some of the biggest fashion mistakes I’ve made. Enjoy.
- Remember those knee length Bermuda shorts that were popular in middle school? Well, I loved them so much that not only did I wear them during the summer, but I also wore them during the winter over jeans. Luckily there is no photographic proof of this.
- I didn’t know gray on gray outfits were a fashion sin until about a year ago when my roommates made fun of me for wearing a gray T-shirt with gray leggings. To their dismay, I still occasionally rock a “groutfit” in public.
3. I used to wear jerseys to school when it wasn’t a game day. I also had to be sure to combine it with a sweatshirt that didn’t match whatsoever.
4. In middle school, I went through a lovely phase of wearing boys’ basketball shorts. I also loved to pair these shorts with a football jersey. This outfit combined with my no boobs and zero makeup talents left many people referring to me as “son”. Middle school was a rough time period.
5. Blue and purple eye shadow combined. Why, why, why? Who let me near the beauty section at Forever 21?!
6. Wearing glasses from 3-D movies. I already had super bad eyesight but apparently, my middle school self didn’t like the glasses she already had.
