If you are now an upperclassman or college aged girl, chances are you wore these in middle school. They'll probably cause you to have major flashbacks and go into denial that you ever let yourself leave the house in these... but you did and you thought you were the coolest.
1. Aeropostale T-Shirt
Finding a shirt that said "Aeropostale" in the biggest letters possible was a staple to be a cool kid. And you were probably extra fab if it was neon AND had glitter.
2. Silly Bandz
How many could we possibly fit on one wrist, that was the true test. Oh and did you have the scented ones? Because I did.
3. Side Ponytail
You probably knew how to do 0 things with your hair at this point in your life, so side ponytails were a great look.
4. Justice Shirt
If your shirt didn't have Justice written on it and peace signs all over, were you even in middle school?
5. Dangle Earrings
I remember thinking I was SO cool because my mom finally let me wear dangle earrings. Pretty sure I had over a hundred pairs of earrings from Claire's, but these star ones were my fav.
6. Crocs or Potato Shoes
If one of these wasn't your go-to shoe of choice then you were doing something wrong. How many of y'all stepped on the end of the potato and felt as though you had just cut your entire heel open?? Been there, done that. And Fuzzy crocs, was there ever a more perfect shoe that combined fashion and function?
7. Blue Eye Shadow
Chances are you had no idea how to do your makeup so you just slapped on some blue eye shadow, did some duck lips, threw up a peace sign and boom, perfect picture.
8. Gaucho Pants
Pretty sure I wore these to church like every Sunday. And surprisingly these are back in style now.
9. Webkinz
You probably spent your whole life saving on Webkinz. You would login and play with your friends for hours... sometimes you'd even log into webkinz during computer class at school #rebel. Although I didn't have as many as in this picture, I thought the peace sign made it even more appropriate.
10. Sequin Purse
I remember seeing Sharpay Evans carry one of these in HSM and of course I had to go out and buy the same exact one, duh. I think I carried the same pink sequin purse every day for all of middle school.
It seems as though nowadays middle schoolers don't have this awkward stage and I kinda wish they did. It's quite hilarious to look back on these years and all the pictures and just laugh at ourselves. But then again, I sure am glad these years are over.
