in looking through my big, unorganized box of photos this morning, i stumbled across this gem.
you're jealous.
yeah, that's me, circa 1989 (i think).
6th grade.
avery saw this picture and asked if i was in 2nd grade.
thanks, buddy.
i loved that jacket.
i vividly remember picking it out at jcpenney.
i thought it was so cool.
you know you love my acid wash jeans.
and my claw bangs.
i remember thinking i looked so rad in this outfit.
i went to a soccer game with some friends and i was walking down the hill holding the jacket over my shoulder with one finger.
yep.
then i asked my friend if she wanted to carry my jacket for me because i was sure she would want the privilege of carrying my awesome jacket.
i was so thoughtful.
she said no.
burn. Pin It
My 2nd grade self is totally jealous of those jeans and jacket! I was still in my neon leggings and jelly shoes phase totally looking up to cool 6th graders like you.
ReplyDeleteI had a jacket so much like yours!! :o) Only I graduated in 1987. :o) Yipes!

Wow, way to bring back those memories! I'm a couple years older than you ('89 = 8th grade) but, boy, do I remember those styles!!! When I was in 7th grade, there was nothing I wanted more than an ESPRIT bag; big, cloth, over the shoulder bag to carry school books. I used birthday money to get one and LOVED it. Do you remember those? Just curious. I always wanted a jean jacket and never got one. Oh, the memories. I actually loved middle school (7th, 8th grade) and have very great memories of it!
ReplyDeleteJosh & Laura... so remember ESPRIT. was there anything so cool? I remember walking in to youth group in 7th with my (hand me down) ESPRIT shirt feeling like i was the stuff.
ReplyDeletethat is so funny and YET so COOL:)!!

STOP! That is awesome. And CRAZY how much Finley looks like you. Ahh the good ol' days... Sweet Keds.
ReplyDeleteYou're hilarious -
ReplyDeletel o v e that WHOLE ensemble!
I think you need to post side-by-side photos of you and Finley - ya'll look SO much alike!
oh yes, ESPRI, GUESS, PePe, LA GEAR, I was all over them! :)
Okay, I giggled out loud on this one. To the point that little tears sprang from my eyes. Gotta love the 80's. I mostly love the expression on your face. So. Cool.
ReplyDeleteI agree with the Finley comments. I had to stop and think for a moment whose face that was with long hair- totally Finley! I would have been so jealous of you too. :)
ReplyDeleteSo funny! I love it!
ReplyDeleteDon't forger Girbaud jeans, units, and Paris Sports Club (from Maurices). Oh the coolness of it all!!!
you haven't changed a bit. i love you for it.
ReplyDeleteAwesome.
ReplyDeleteThis made me laugh really hard. At least you HAD bangs. My mother wouldn't let me cut them, so I just scraped a few really long hairs out of my super tight pony tail and hair sprayed them into a ginormous transparent wave my mom affectionately referred to as "the lizard 'do" I always wanted claw bangs.
