Trends you regret trying

[LoveKylie]

getting a perm... oh dear god, definitiely... i looked like sh!t for most part, fashion wise I remember buying these Puma shoes in like 8th grade when everyone and their mom's where wearing them, I secretly hated them but I sooo wanted to fit it at the time, lol. eventually I gave up on trying so hard and my mom got them

I was going to say that despite being a teenager in the 80s and a college student in the 90s, I regret nothing -- nothing!!

Then I remembered a student ID I had taken in say, '91, '92? OY. I was into my "I *heart* Chanel for the very first time" phase, and so, very pale me had pulled my hair back painfully tightly and secured it with a black bow barrette, worn brilliant red lipstick, black eye makeup, fake eyelashes (at ten a.m., people) and a black turtleneck sweater.

I still don't regret the spiral perm or acid-washed jeans though. *sigh* Those were the days, my friend.

Oh gosh, my perm was sooo bad. Total afro look. Glad it grew out fast. It looked like a bird's nest! Man, I could've held at least 5 birds in my hair.

it was just one season...the newest trend here in belgium is wearing this really cheap ridiculous t-shirts from bikkembergs with a huge logo on it. almost every teenager has one! it's really sickning

What trends did you follow, in which you live to regret?
I have a problem, when I like something I buy one in every color, then I don't know what to do when the trend is over.

The whole 'Von Dutch' thing my Junior year of High school. I cant believe I actually went to my best friend's house party in this : (oh and a white Von Dutch tank top too)
I still cringe when I think about it, but back in HS I was all about trying to fit in so I followed pretty much every trend I could and racked up an insanely high Credit card bill....which I'm just paying off now. LoL
