I wore more of these trends then I care to admit, but I'd have to say I though that the biker shorts with lace around the bottom were the ultimate in cool back in elementary school. As for the '90s — baby T-shirts and baggy jeans were my Freshman year staple, LOL!

I don't want mini backpacks to come back... haha They were so difficult to close. My friend was just talking about JNCO jeans a few weeks ago! Her sister used to wear them and she was always tripping. I still love choker necklaces, babydoll dresses, and Mohair sweaters.

I was very into Esprit and chokers. I kind of wish you could still get stirrup pants to wear with tall boots. Though a more refined version.

This is too good! I would have KILLED for a pair of Reebok pumps. Weren't there crazy rumors that if you pumped them too many times they'd explode or something?
