Hyper-colored shirts.

Remember those? I never had one, but I'm fascinated by this strange fashion trend.

I never had one either. I could never work out why anyone would want to wear a top that illustrated which points on their body were the hot and sweatiest :eyebrow:

scrunchies

crimping my hair

bangs!

spandex :drool: esp. with oversized t-shirts which you would scrunch into those plastic decorative thingies on your hip (do any girls know what I am talking about? did they have a name)?
