Wow what a fun thread! You guys sure are brave--if I had any pictures to post, I don't know if I could do it, even though I was a little girl for most of the decade.
If I did post pics, they would contain:
-Heeled sneakers and wingtip oxfords from Payless. The latter were my favorite shoes ever (and go figure I totally want a pair now). Small wonder my feet are so messed up from all those years of cheap shoes!
-Long velvet skirt with slit to show off my combat boots. This was my goth outfit as a Freshman.
-Baggy oversized tshirt reined in with my neon green shirt clip, short skirt, magenta sodapop flats, and side ponytail tied with a scrunchie. I think this was my favorite outfit, and probably the most quintessential 90's outfit in my wardrobe.
-I loved animals, so I let the world know that by wearing them whenever possible (I don't mean fur, I mean shirts with pictures of dogs and cats and horses).
-Keds sneakers
-Baggy jeans with sweaters that had stripes going across my once non-existent bust.
-Towards the latter part of the decade, I lived in oversized tshirts that advertised my favorite bands. Bush, Nirvana, No Doubt, and 311 shirts were among my favorites. I always made sure to look for the biggest size possible for maximum bagginess. When it got cold, I would llayer long sleeve t's under them, especially a purple jailbird striped thermal top.
-In 7th grade I liked to wear a ring on all 10 fingers (usually from Claire's). I would bulk them up with masking tape to make them small enough to fit. In 8th grade, I swapped out the rings for stacking loads of choker-length necklaces on my giraffe neck. I had an affinity for hemp necklaces especially, but also wore those silver ball chain necklaces.
-As a kid, I got all my dress shoes from Buster Brown. What happened to that store? That was the last time I remember actually enjoying shoe shopping.
-Blossom hats, of course. The fact that the girl who was responsible for this trend ended up on WNTW does not surprise me one bit.
Thank god I was camera shy all those years...
