Scrunchies used to be a big hit. Multi-colored fabric that made your ponytails hand higher off to the side of your tea. I have very thin hair so it looked like a rat tail that stuck up like pippy-longstocking. The skort used to be popular as well as it was a skirt and shorts in one. I could now wear a skirt and not be embarrassed about showing off my flower power underwear. As I started getting older, things such as jelly shoes, yo-yos and see through bags came in as quickly as they left.

| MY SCRUNCHIE ICONS :) |
I remember in 8th grade, thongs used to be the big deal around the girls and I always said I owned one yet really too embarrassed to say my mother still bought me my underwear. To be in the up crowd and a big girl I told my mother to stay in the car while I went into Walmart with my allowance money. I had looked at my underwear size before going and saw that it said size 10. I went straight to the women size not knowing that a girl and women size 10 is very different from one another. I bought the 7 dollar, 2 pair thong and felt so excited to put them on. When I went home and opened the box I realized they were enormous. Of course I am not going to return them and fess up I don't even know my own size so I improvised. I rolled them. I remember wearing my skort (which was out of style at this point) and you could see the rolled up bunch of a thong that I created. During lunch I told a girl I had a thong on and even showed her by pulling a side of them up. I was finally in the "I wear a thong girl club." I never wore them again... the wedgie hurt more then the pain of not knowing my own size underwear.
Now as I am 24, I looks at freshman year in college where the fish face was popular as you take pictures. Now its the hand on the hip. I look at pictures and I still do fish faces which were SO last year. I have never truly been "in," but I am sure that when styles come back in I will be able to say that I was in style at one point or another.
I wondered where that thing came from!!
