Day 08 — Describe the style you had 10 years ago.

Oh goodness, I don't know.  Hmm, let's see I was really into very tiny shirts and old man pants.  Yes, you read that correctly.  OLD. . . .MAN. . . . . PANTS.  An idea shopping day for me would be to hit up some trendy store and find the littlest t-shirt there was and then mosey on over to Value Village to find some old man pants. 

I wish so dearly that I could find a photo, hmm, alright, I'm going to try. 

Ok, I've hunted and I could only find a couple and not the one I was looking for but blog world, mark my words, I'm going to keep looking and when I find it I'll post it because it sums up my style very very well. 

Anyhoo, the photos that I did find are pretty close to how I attempted to dress often.  I say "attempted to" because my dear Mother would have none of it and forced me to sneak clothes out of the house on a daily basis, can you imagine! 

Speaking of my parents and my dress code.  My poor Daddy to this day swears I'm colour blind and has tried over and over again to give me fashion advice, I still haven't really mastered that whole "matching thing".  Sorry Daddy. 

My Mother on the other hand stole my absolute favourite shirt when I was about 17 and still will not admit it!!  Mother, if you are reading this, could you come clean to the world please.  It was this itsy bitsy grey shirt that said "Las Vegas 69", damn I looked hot in that, haha.  So hot in fact, that I will never ever ever in a million years even let my girls know that it existed.

Moving on from the clothing.  The next part of my style, if you can call it that, would be the key ring I wore on a chain around my neck.  I never went anywhere without it.  In fact, I even wore it to grad, around my ankle but it was still on my person.  That's a long story I'm certainly not getting into right now but I will say that I cried my eyes out when I lost it while swimming in the lake.

There you have it.  Eighteen (actually, a little closer to seventeen but you get the just of it) year old Jenn.  Enjoy!

Hearts mean love!!

  1. OMG so funny Jenn. Yes I hated the short shirts and those old man pants. Okay I believe that shirt was lost in the laundry. For some reason I couldn't find it either *wink* *wink* You're a mother now so you will understand. I think we've all had to sneak out of the house with some type of clothing our Mom didn't agree with. Love you!

  2. Jen one correction for you mom did not force you to sneak clothes out of the house you just took them out without us knowing. Mom did force you to change into something more appropiate. And you sometimes got caught, because you would come home wearing the clothes you were not suppose to wear but did anyway. I don't think you are color blind just lack fashion sense, but you are getting better keep it up, maybe I can work on the girls when they get a little older, they will listen to Grandpa if they are smart.
