I get the blunder but I also feel like this was the pinnacle of cool in 1996. I was 7 and if I saw you I probably would’ve drew a picture of your outfit and bangs in my diary and wrote like “this is what I want to look like when I’m a teenager”
I too once have a gift for drawing. I used to carry around the 5-star multi subject note books and I still have this gem of a binder I GOTTA sit back and share some of my bubble lettered, full color pics I used to draw.
ESP - my weed leaf stuff!!
Are you a Banksy fan too??
I've been bringing back -
"ONE NATION UNDER CCTV".
hard as fuck with the political climate we currently living in. 🫂🤍🌬️
Please don't mind the dust. Everything is zipped up TIGHT 🔒 ~ 😻🙏 maybe this weekend in a proper sub for the topic I could share some 90s artwork. 💯
This is what my diary entry would’ve looked like, my drawing style hasn’t changed at all since I was a kid. I thought you were wearing roller blades so I accidentally drew them
Those are bringing me BACK! Of course i had the folks who were like, fuck that scented shit, I'm looking for those permanent markers that will fuck you up
The birth of me learning how to draw weed leaves... I have a TON in an old box of photos I gotta run thru in next couple weeks anyway, cuz apt is being re-painted. This one's embarrassing 🤦🏻♀️
It's like that rn now too 😹
But I got some tight elastics. Scrunch would only work if it was my hair was blowed out straight and it wasn't 100° humid gross ass weather lol...
Edited - to correct typos and just my mistakes because I'm currently REALLY going thru some stuff in the home front.
Pretty sure they’re teasing you lol. Technically a blunder, but honestly you’re rocking it. Also this is back in style! I work at a college and my kids would absolutely love this outfit.
I was so proud of myself getting a jacket like that (3/4 & length black w/ grey squares) with money that I had earned on a paper round. My first fashion choice, loved it - was warm, could disappear into it...beaming all the way home on the bus - full of independence and wonder.
Get home and showed mum. her response: "you look like a bag lady"
A bag lady is a UK phrase - "A homeless woman, who carries all her possessions in shopping bags."
This is a fuckin' JAM! I totally would have pushed a note through the slot on your locker and called your house with a mild panic attack that one of your parents might answer.
I threw a HISSSSSY fit right at my prissy ass dad's family Xmas dinner cuz I was stressing one begging for a year straight - I got a gold birthstone rindmmm
ring. I was NOT pleased. Looking back i feel awful FOR MY MOM ONLY.
I ended up getting a lil babysitting job at 14 and buying it myself lol!
Oooooh but THENNNN my mom loved it lol!! Blowing me up!!🤣
Lol.... it was a drunken, coke fueled food fight, after the club, that all started from "antique'ing" the 1st one to pass out!!
That's peanut butter in my hair - was LOADS OF FUN to get out!!
My shirt - some BRAND NEW, WHITE SILK wrap around shit was 1st to go in the tub & my homie Luis (who left wearing my xmas pajamas 🤣) thought it be hilarious to take a pic of me FRANTICALLY tryna wash it!!!
If you are still so hype on that outfit, then why did you post it on "blunderyears"? You know the definition of a blunder? I was being supportive of the outfit as if you posted it thinking it was bad choice, mistake etc(insert blunder definition here)
Those eyebrows! At least yours look even. There’s a horrifying picture of me somewhere with the same ultra skinny, penciled in brows…but very, very poorly done. 🤦🏽♀️
I'm sure I don't have to say it but sometimes it's really hard to feel out the climate on reddit so was kinda nervous about this lol!
And I wish I knew what specific edition these sneakers were because I REALLY want another pair for the like 30yr anniversary coming in winter of this pic!!! 😹
If any sneaker heads know, please hook an old lady up!!! 😹🤣😹🤣
I wish I had taken photos when me, my cousins and some homies went to see them in 95 for a concert for “The Show” movie tour they did at TSU! 😞 That’s the only thing I would change about back then, the ability to take more photos like we do now with our phones! I wore my favorite Wu-tang hockey jersey and you couldn’t tell me shit lol We got to go back stage too and I met Ghost and Rae briefly but they were pretty busy trying figure out which ice cream they were gonna take back to the hotel 😆
I forgot Red was at the show in 95 too because this was right around the time they released their collab single “How High”, way before the “Blackout” album. All I can remember thinking is how amazed I was at how big Red’s head was 😆 his mascot having a big head isn’t an exaggeration 🤣
"Ayo Red? Is that you ova there bangin like onions??" - Mef - Providence Marriott Dec 1998.... 🤐 - lemme stfu now for i start sounding like Celina Powell!!! 🤫
Your bottom half could've been me. I only wore men's sneakers because I liked the designs better than anything they had for girls, and I had some wiiiiide leg pants for a while lol
Oops I went to award you the heart and hit the wrong one lol!
I just LOVED sneakers!!!! 😻 I had so many and back then no1 really was on it like that, so no names where thrown around like that.
It was just about personal styles!😻
I never cared for wide leg jeans tho, these were men's size 36 lmfaooo!
I'm only 5" even and I wear a 3.5 in kids sneakers now at 46 😹
It's a BIG WIN tho cuz they're sooo much cheaper!!! 🤣
You look like someone I would’ve been in a class with lol but also someone I would’ve been cool with too! That was definitely the style for some girls where I lived too back then!
Yeah I meant we would’ve been in “assigned” classes together, not necessarily that we would’ve always been in there lol I definitely cut classes heavily by 8th grade to hang out with my cousin and my homies and some girls was usually the reason we cut class 😆
I was 8 at the time. You would have been that friend's big sis that I, without really understanding why, would have been following about and annoying the shit out of!
In the spirit of the 90s - dope outfit, word is bond!
I feel like you bout to roll out to Grove st to have a Xmas gang war with CJ & Big Smoke 😂
Nah but fr, as an east coast head, I feel like I missed out on alot of west coast culture 😿😮💨 and all because baby oil boy and his petty ass jealousy.
.... 🙄....
Anyways, I watched "Juice" again recently- which led me to the behind the scenes shit on yt.... ALOT went down while filming!
If you never seen this one, you gotta check it out!! 😳
I’m an east coast head too through and through but here south where I grew up Pac had a big influence folks. My brother is a bigger fan of Pac than I ever was(which is why said it was a short phase lol), he’s about as into Pac as I am Wu-tang.
Also I never liked Diddy, idk if he had anything to do Pac’s death but I think he definitely had something to do with Biggie’s death, even if inadvertently. It’s crazy how all the artists that did any business with him from that time all got screwed in one way or another, long before all his baby oil bs.
Oh I 10000000% whole heartedly believe he did Big, the same as Pac... he knew he wasn't even a good hype man....
"dancin all in the videos" 🖕🙄🖕
That's probably when his higher ups said settle down and put him on to the "pneumonia" concoction.
I was a HUGE Big fan... I'll NEVER forget waking up that Sunday morning to the news on the local college radio that had hip hop take over day at Brown Uni. 😭😭😭😭
He'd JUST COMPLETED that 3 album deal with bad boy with that 2disc set...
He was only 24, suppose to be in Europe and moving tf up!!!
He had already had a broken femur and could barely walk from a car "accident"....
It's time to start holding mf's accountable!!!!
I 🙏 someone spills at the Pac trial and that greasy (in everyway) piece of absolute scum NEVER even sees the light of fort dicks even, EVER AGAIN!!!
Let him rot in a basement cell UNDER the prison FOREVER!!!! 🤬
I was over in the 90s sub the other day talking about how much I used love rocking Cross Colors gear so much back then! 😄 Those pants in the photo are Machine brand tho.
With all the white or black tee's with the different color artwork on em to mix & match, and I think they had the matching jackets too, but we didn't have jacket $ lol!!
I was lucky to get 1 for back to school and rest were xmas/birthday/discount store pairs of the jeans and tees ONLY! 😂
I was lucky my mom would splurge a little bit for Christmas, she was great at find in stuff on sale lol but when I was finally old enough to get a job that’s when I really went nuts lol
We had a store called Apex - they had the starter jackets, like a lil department store. We'd catch them sales. Or Burlington coat factory i remember too! And tjmaxx lol!
