Yep, your description sounds dead on. Hmm…at 15 I was wearing all black, really big and baggy pants and was going through an entire black eyeliner every two weeks.

Plaid flannel shirts and jeans. Nothing exotic for me. My 16 year old stepson is an enigma in many, many ways, but especially clothes. His wardrobe is 80% black, but don't you DARE suggest he is goth or emo. Because he will set you straight in hurry that he is most definitely not! The other 20% of his wardrobe are those smart ass t-shirts. They can be any color as long as they are dripping with sarcasm. He gets that from his Dad :) At 15, I was grunge baby!

This was quite a feat actually, growing up in swampy, steamy Florida. This stage happened to coincide with posing for senior portraits, thus my good fortune in having ample documentation of this lovely phase of my adolescence. Joy.

So funny, and of course, we all thought we looked great. My poor parents. My mom told me not too long ago that I had an orange face for like four years because I was wearing some cheap ass coverup. I said, "Why didn't you buy me the right color?!" I was mortified. She said I wouldn't have listened to any makeup advice she had. Cindy, I am going looking for your earlier query and will be inviting the GF over soon for dinner, at which time I will inspect her lovely young mouth with a flashlight. IR- Long LIVE flannel and vans! I am laughing SO HARD right now at all of the recaps of your outfits. So funny, and of course, we all thought we looked great. My poor parents.

Cindy,
I am going looking for your earlier query and will be inviting the GF over soon for dinner, at which time I will inspect her lovely young mouth with a flashlight.

IR- Long LIVE flannel and vans!

I'm wondering if you saw my recent query to you in this regard in my comments. So you didn't technically meet her, but you did SEE her, and this is a step in the right direction. So she's not 40, and you didn't say anything about meth; and I'm taking both of these as positive indicators. Although I am wondering, did you see her teeth? ;-) Also, I think we can all relate to the scary looking teenager phase. I am having vivid recollections of myself clad in torn jeans, big black boots, and draped in LOTS AND LOTS of flannel. Very champ of you to look back and see yourself in this young girl. Will be looking forward to hearing more about The Tall One's girlfriend. (And don't you love those moments when you catch yourself being a total mom/stepmom? Standing there checking out the gf and scaring everyone!? What a great post.) YAY! A Snuffy spotting! I’m wondering if you saw my recent query to you in this regard in my comments.

High school, I was the girl no one knew and I loved it that way. Only, some did know me, I was the girl in combat boots, jeans, black shirt of some form and if I had makeup, I am sure it would have been black too... But makeup didn't go too well with grease stains on my arms for the day's workshop of trying to find out why the truck is still leaking... And now, (ok so not quiet 30) I still enjoy my black shirts, only this time they have funny sayings or something thought provoking...

With the bright "ziggy stardust" orange hair I must have looked a right sight. My favorite was a pair of cropped black overalls, black vans, and a over sized tuxedo that was my granddads.

I thought I was so ska. I never wore anything that would show my butt.
