This is me in high school circa 2003 when I was year twelve. It could have been the 70's for the way I dressed.
I saved up to buy a coat very similar to that below and I loved my band shirts especially Led Zeppelin. My favourite shoes were my purple Docs that I bought with my birthday money when I was 14. Unfortunately they are no longer with us but mum bought me some maroon ones for something like $20 at an Op Shop. I loved flares and my bags were all across the body.
I loved wearing lipstick (which I now hate) and wore tinted moisturiser instead of foundation. I loved eyeshadow but never left the house without mascara. I love crosses even though I'm not religious so always wore a cross. I also loved big hoop earrings especially if my wrist could fit through them. I always drank coke, either a bottle from the canteen or a can from the vending machine.
My fashion really hasn't changed that much from then. Today I sit here in jeans, a Doors shirt, flat black shoes and a blue flanno. Still the same Ames.

Wanna play along? It's fun, a little bit mean (limitless, free credit card anyone?), perfect procrastination and if you are anything like me you won't be able to stop at just one!

Haha my coat isn't leather thank goodness. It is warm though!
ReplyDeleteI love it all - i'm not sure about that coat though... it better be fake fur! I had fake DOCs at school but bought my first pair with my first pay check.
