I think that was when I started to develop a bit of a fashion sense too and was more concerned over what I looked like, started caring more. I wish that fads weren't such a big deal when we're teenagers, but it's sort of something that happens to all us girls I guess when we all the other girls with something popular on, hehe. Aside from clothing though I was not concerned over popularity either- just having a nice, small, close group of friends has always been nice :)<br /><br />Have a great day Jerralea!!<br />:)Jazzminhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01956934048448104058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-69006180422069466012013-04-04T14:13:48.512-05:002013-04-04T14:13:48.512-05:00That's funny, I remember asking for clothes fo...That's funny, I remember asking for clothes for Christmas in 7th grade too. But they weren't really all that cool, just the stylish duds from Sears or JC Penny that my family could afford. Thanks for sharing!

Joining you from Mama Kat's :->
This ...Hi! Joining you from Mama Kat's :-><br /><br />This post is so much fun for me because of the surprise of the year. When I was in high school Izod was THE thing and I was coming from a school that had a totally different style, so I was definitely being "schooled" about fashion. I was so happy when I got my first "alligator shirt". But here's where the year surprised me, it was 1980 for me. LOVE how the classics don't go out of style. (It's still going strong in Macy's ;-> )<br />I'm happy to have connected with you!<br /><br />~Ann<br />http://www.annagainandagain.com/Ann Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06018952741830928799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-51994405539255175462013-04-04T11:38:05.736-05:002013-04-04T11:38:05.736-05:00At least I'm sure this was a lesson learned fo...At least I'm sure this was a lesson learned for you. I never did care about fashion, hair, make-up or being popular.

Looking at those photos, I can't, for the life of me, figure out why we thought these t-shirts were the bombdotcom. I also did the whole "pick out my own Christmas gifts" and Christmas morning was such a let down! I never again picked out my own goodies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1069784873554550905.post-76338566924191493082013-04-04T10:41:23.759-05:002013-04-04T10:41:23.759-05:00I feel your pain Jerralea.

It's when I had to tell my mom the her homemade clothes (she was a very talented seamstress) weren't cutting it anymore. Lucky I had a great group of girl friends.

Upon the return to school, everyone had a little triangle on their butt. That's when I learned that fashion trends are BS. In the words of Macklemore, "I call that getting tricked by a business."
