In my packing up the house marathon this weekend, I went through bags of clothes that I kept from highschool. I didn't hold on to all of my old clothes, but there were some thrift store gems and sentimental items that were just too great to let go of. Flag corps uniforms, Letterman jacket, graduation smock, the leather pants that Jeff gave me when we were dating (that he showed up on my apartment doorstep WEARING after buying for me), prom dresses, favorite outfits from my combat-boots-go-with-everything-days, and so on. There were quite a few things that I am so glad I kept... the fact that I thought they were awesome then, and now pulled them out of the bag and couldn't help but think "how awesome is THIS!" makes me laugh. The difference is that now, I have inhibitions to keep me from sporting them out to dinner. I guess after the huge yard sale we are soon to have, my crazy fashion taste (or lack thereof) will be someone else's awesome Halloween costume this year!
Let's go into the Waybac Machine...
I cannot find my bowling shoes... from the bowling alley... that I wore to school. Drat.

That's awesome- I didn't manage to keep anything from hogh school, but I wish I had my purple combat boots and some of the family reunion t-shirts from the thrift store. Man I looked ridiculous! But fun!
