7 Fashion Mistakes We’ve All Made In Our Teens

Big sigh. I sincerely apologize in advance for I’m about to dig up memories from your past you’ve gone above and beyond to erase. Yes, I’m talking about the fashion mistakes you made in your teenage years. Pale blue braces, uni-brows, and awkward bell-bottoms alert! Ever looked at Kaia Gerber and wondered how in the world she managed to skip past them all? If you felt that pang of envy, I empathize with you 100%. Well, why don’t we put a fun twist on our miserable teenage years and reminisce about the fashion mistakes as lessons learned? (Also, we look great now, so who cares?)

7 <strong>Fashion</strong> <strong>Mistakes</strong> We've <strong>All</strong> <strong>Made</strong> <strong>In</strong> <strong>Our</strong> <strong>Teens</strong><br />

Big sigh. I sincerely apologize in advance for I'm about to dig up memories from your past you've<br />

gone above and beyond to erase. Yes, I'm talking about the fashion mistakes you made in your<br />

teenage years. Pale blue braces, uni-brows, and awkward bell-bottoms alert! Ever looked at Kaia<br />

Gerber and wondered how in the world she managed to skip past them all? If you felt that pang of<br />

envy, I empathize with you 100%. Well, why don't we put a fun twist on our miserable teenage<br />

years and reminisce about the fashion mistakes as lessons learned? (Also, we look great now, so<br />

who cares?) ;)<br />

#1 Bought an outfit without trying, because who's going to wait in line?<br />

How many times have you strut confidently into a store and bought a blouse that's not quite your<br />

size because you were too lazy to wait in the trial room line? Also, if it's a little snug, you'll find<br />

some way to make it work (NOT!) You get home, it doesn't fit, the arm hole's too small, the chest is<br />

too tight, or it's just not sitting right. What do you do? Bury it in the back of your closet. What you<br />

don't see doesn't exist, right?<br />

#2 Thought being experimental would make you stand out in a good way—boy,<br />

were you wrong.<br />

Took a leap of faith and plummeted, free-fall. We could've just taken a nosedive into a bed of<br />

rocks, would've hurt less. Permed hair, slogan tees, fringed mini skirts, pink hot pants, blue nails,<br />

stick-on earrings... the list goes on. The good news: Someone probably screwed up more than you<br />

did. Self-five for bravery, though!<br />

#3 Tried the hippie-boho trend and failed...<br />

#4 Tried to look like your favourite celeb and failed...<br />

#5 Tried heels to look sexy and fell flat on your face... fail, fail, fail<br />

Moral of the story: Be yourself, don't try too hard, and trust that you will find your personal style<br />

soon enough.<br />

#6 Bought something because it was on sale, and then wore it because now<br />

you've bought it.<br />

Admit it, we still do that. Only, it looks slightly better than our teenage fashion fails. As you grow<br />

older and wiser, you realise it's better to buy one quality expensive thing rather than five from the<br />

discount bin. But it's okay, you were spending daddy's money then. Shopping for fashion on a<br />

#7 Tried on every outfit in your wardrobe, ran out of time and wore whatever<br />

you could find from the mess.<br />

Yes, we've all been there. The big day is here, you know exactly what you want to wear, and then,<br />

disaster! Help! The person looking back at you in the mirror looks hideous. Oh, well, time for that<br />

skirt-blouse you wore to Kristy's party two days ago. Hopefully, no one will notice. Note to older<br />

self: Never underestimate the power of a backup outfit, and... have three backup outfits!<br />
