OMG, those 80's pictures...*dies* I had sooo many gummy bracelets, and my hair! It may as well have eaten my head.

But I still love friendship bracelets.

So I totally don't remember what I used to wear. Except I think what was big for girls around my age were those overall jean skirts. I owned a few of those O.o

Dude, do you remember in the early 90's when peeps would where the short overalls and then only snap one side and have the others hanging off? TACKY! But we thought we were so cool!!!

It was so fun looking back and thinking about all the trends and stuff.
