What did you do, or wear as a youth, that in retrospect, was foolish or ridiculous?

I had an neon orange sweatshirt that could probably be seen from space.

Did your ensemble include the tap-like shoe, too?

Stretch pants and baggy sweaters/sweatshirts. Then I realized I didn't like my thighs so it became baggy pants and baggy sweaters/sweatshirts, of course with short hair and thick bangs.....so attractive!

Pretty much everything I wore was ridiculous. I had to buy my own clothes from about junior high on, and of course mostly went to Goodwill and other secondhand stores. Tried to make it a little more about "individual expression" but I think I just looked like a mentally ill, residence-challenged person.

It was good practice for real life. But now that I could buy clothes that aren't pre-worn, I change into pajamas (scrubs) as soon as I get to work and get most of my clothes at Target or Marshall's. Old habits?
