You Might Have Been A 90’s Teen If…

I was a child of the 80’s and a teen in the 90’s. It’s so funny how fashion does a complete 360 and my children are wearing the same brands and styles I did at their age. But I kind of love it! When I saw this striped GUESS rugby top, I had flashbacks to middle school. In fact, I owned every color of GUESS stripe shirts. So seeing this brought back memories of my sisters and I arguing over who wore each other’s clothes to school. Also, I’m the youngest of 4 and there were a lot of battles over clothing at our house! In fact, we loved Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Guess, Girbaud, Lucky, Doc Martens, Birkenstocks, Abercrombie and Fitch, Stussy, Mossimo(pre Target), Gap, Calvin Klein and Vans. So I guess not a lot has changed…#360

You Might Have Been A Teen In The 90’s If You Remember…

• TGIF: We looked forward to the Friday night line up every week. Other T.V shows: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Friends, Saved by the Bell, Full House, Dawson’s Creek, Beverly Hills 90210 and Friends.
• You cried when the cast of 90210 graduated from CU. I couldn’t imagine TV without Dylan, Brenda, Brandon, Donna and Kelly.
• You’re still listening to Nirvana, Dr. Dre, Notorious B.I.G, Alanis Morisette, Pearl Jam, 2Pac, Goo Goo Dolls, Radiohead, The Fugees, Weezer, U2, TLC, Beastie Boys, A Tribe Called Quest, Green Day, etc. because 90’s music is incredible!
• You had the coolest collection of gel pens.
•  Your bedroom ceiling was decorated with glow in the dark stars and planets that you put on in elementary/middle school and couldn’t remove without paint coming off the ceiling.
•  You owned a pager.
•  You clipped a Discman to your shorts for a run. Then as the weight from the Discman set in and your shorts began to fall down, you then had to carry your CD player the rest of the way home.
• You saved all your money to have a bulky CD player installed in your car at Best Buy.
• You didn’t think 98 Degrees was that cool, but you thought Nick Lachey was cute so you listened anyway.
• Britney was everything and you also felt like you had to choose between her and Christina. #teamBritney
• You easily recall the sound of dial up internet and also the hours it felt like trying to get online.
• Blockbuster was the hang out on weekend nights. “Be kind and rewind.”
• You understand the Dewey Decimal System
• You know how to place a collect call and also how to call your mom for free on a payphone by saying “come pick me up” instead of your name. Then quickly hanging up to avoid charges.
• Trapper Keepers were life
• You also know every word to Ice Ice Baby and Baby Got Back.
• You owned collection of Scrunchies
• MTV Spring Break was forbidden to watch. It’s basically the equivalent of Disney Channel now.
• Chokers & Babydoll Dresses made a great combo.
• You also had the movie Clueless memorized.
• Leo was every girls crush thanks to Titanic
• The Full House theme song was all you needed to cure a bad day. I love you Uncle Jesse
• The grunge era. Nirvana and Green Day. Girls really took on the oversized flannels and Doc Martens look.
• You were such a prude, yet somehow knew every word to Eazy-E songs. Okay, so that was me. I would also ground my children for life if I heard them signing those lyrics!!
• First to have cell phones. I remember getting a cell phone in 98′. It was bigger than my entire head and felt like I was lifting a weight to my ear.
• Dark lipliner and Clinique Black Honey Lipstick
• Freddy Prinze Jr. was my crush.
• Button Your Fly was Levi’s tag line
