Yes I bought a puff ball skirt and wore leg warmers over my trousers. But the worse thing I ever wore was the duffel coat my mum bought me when I was a child . WHY? My dad bought me one of those crocheted hats that you'd wear to church -- pink and white -- WHY? And yes, I had a pair of wedges.

Your go ... what's the worst thing you bought or was made to wear. banana.gif

Shell Suits bighairlolbighairlol. I had a purple shiny one. I cringe everytime I think of it. I also woreanoutfit, Ican't remember the name. Purple tracksuit- like trousers and a purple long sleeved top to match with a hood and a garish print on the front. I also had LA Gear purple trainers to finish off my outfit. Oh my Life!!! I thought I looked crisp. Purple must have been my favourite colour back then.

I remember feeling really good putting it on fora school trip to an ice rink. I was trying to impress a guy I fancied at school but I ended up having a guy twice my age follow me around the ice.
Quote:
God! This brings back memories!!! I remember Rhythm is a Dancer by Snap was playing in the place and I was trying to dance to it and pointedly ignore this guy. The funny thing was he tried so hard to get my attention, he swerved in front of me, turned backwards and fell on his butt. Very funny!! That'll teach him, the dirty old man!


On another note, I thought I should add it in here rather than in the most embarrasing moment of my life.

When the night was over and we handed in our ice skates, I changed into my LA Gears and walked towards the door. My friends had gone on before me to the bus. The guy I fancied was hanging around near the door with his friends. So I knew that this was it, to go up to him to say "hi, it was a good night" or whatever, I had to think of something to say because I had hyped myself up all evening to talk to him. The trip was finishing and I hadn't said one word to him. So, I thought to myself, this is your last chance to make an impression. So I planned to walk casually up to them and say hi and slowly gage him in a conversation.

So there I waspysching myself up for this huge feat. Started casually walking up to him, getting closer, my heart started to beat a little faster, my palms started feeling a little damp and WHOOOOOOSH SPPPPPLOSH!. Slipped on the wet floor and landed right on my arse in front of him. I wished that the floor would swallow me up whole.

His friends started jeering at me and he just stared. I walked out of the ice rink with a huge wet patch on my arse. It looked like I had wet myself.

Yes i do ... didn't go down too well the sweaty armpit peeps, but yes, orange t-shirt would turn pink in hot places! (or something like that.

What about now, what do you think people in the future will look back in time and say they wish they'd not worn?
