Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

We had to wear dresses when I was in elementary school so when we could wear pants to middle school it rocked! I distinctly remember wearing brown cords with a tapestry belt, brown plaid shirt and earth shoes and being so, so in fashion.

the dialect coaches from the Wire... Sarameg, that is just the coolest. There are some impressive accents on there given the number of Brits in the cast. The Wire likes carrots,btw.

I'm so sorry grunge made your home its capital, Jilli.

It didn't know she was there, probably, or it would have come here. Someplace with Jilli has plenty of style already.

However, granny boots with black ruffled socks sticking over the top(worn over a contrasting color of tights, or better yet, stripey tights) are perfectly okay. At least in my world.
These were the ones with the b&w or brown& white rag socks sewn in. They weren't bad, I just remember them clearly.
Multi-tier dresses with a tank top top made out of tshirt material.
In high school, I had this one weird outfit. Green poetryish cotton blouse with cutout teeny embroidery on the chest area, long sleeve, lots of tucks worn. Past my hips. A pair of longish jean shorts, dark green tights and my docs. My long & heavy silver chandelier earrings from Russia. It was so comfy and suited me at the time.

Some day, oh some day, I will be able to listen to Alice n' Chains again without grinding my teeth. Some day.
However, the nice thing about the grunge trend was that all the thrift stores were FILLED with cute vintage velvet things that hardly anyone else wanted. I miss that.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
When I said a deliberate joke, I was thinking of things like layers of neon mixed with black and white checks, hugely overpadded shoulders, 3 layers of belts, haircuts that were deliberately uneven. Flock of Seagulls, people!!! The high fashion was deliberately over the top, even if the watered down versions that real people wore were not.
Let's see. I mostly wore oversized shirts belted at the hips and leggings (not stirrup pants because they didn't fit my legs right). I occasionally did the skinny tie thing, too. And black boots. I've never owned so many black boots as back then.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
There was a different name for them.
We called them "knickers" which made my visiting English cousins hoot with laughter when I told them my mom wouldn't buy me any.
