Yeah I wore baggy Levis but pretty much because I am so tall that I had to do dude Levis which aren't cut for hips (not that I had much of those at the time), but to accommodate hips waist pretty much had to cross my hipbones aka no where even close to my actual waist.

How I envied the girls in their Guess jeans with ankle zippers.

Oh yeah, I think my favorite big pants were actually kikwear.

wonder when those zipper ankles will come back and if they do, will do so with 35" inseam

...which is also an extant company. O_O Don't call it a comeback, I guess.

Obvs I'd never wear the kind of shit I did in HS again but I never hopped on the skinny jean bandwagon and I still think wide leg trousers with a slim fitting shirt is one of the chicest look for women.

oh they're back! i've got some and they are my favorite jeans!

the big pants look was not a good one for me, although it did coincide with my first experience being real friends with boys so i guess some good came of it. i usually wore old men's boy-repellent cords from the thrift.

If I did wear skirts I always had to like toughen them up with shitkickers or some ugly polyester.

Benson and the Jets (ENBB), Friday, 20 February 2015 19:10 (nine years ago) link

how is it that I still have my notes from high school AP chem and all of my old genetics texts but did not save any of the many things I hung on my body? Not that it would much matter because I weighed like sub 120s because anorexia was also a 90s phase for me.

mom tossed in kimchee (quincie), Friday, 20 February 2015 19:11 (nine years ago) link

interesting cause it was in a restaurant and u dont want anyone to choke i guess thats classic 90s irony tho

lag∞n, Friday, 20 February 2015 19:11 (nine years ago) link

hippie equivalent to goth choker was the huge fucking HEMP NECKLACE that was like an industrial rope around my neck. i wore one with beads in it that were the size of grapes

marcos, Friday, 20 February 2015 19:16 (nine years ago) link

lol i just saw that my dad commented on something one of the guys who used to work in our restaurant posted on FB so I followed some links and wound up on this daughter's page. She looks about 15ish and is totally wearing one of those tatoo chokers in her prof pic.

whoops -- it's sized for a large husky man, looks like it was bought at a rural gas station in the 80s, dingy gray in color and festooned with a saggy jowled canine

Florianne Fracke (La Lechera), Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:50 (nine years ago) link

and it's $72

Florianne Fracke (La Lechera), Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:50 (nine years ago) link

Ew.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:57 (nine years ago) link

i'm surprised it doesn't come with pre-stained pits

Florianne Fracke (La Lechera), Sunday, 17 May 2015 14:59 (nine years ago) link

Of all the things I don't want from my clothes, looking like a starving unloved child who is literally disappearing into a dirty rag is near the top of the list.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Sunday, 17 May 2015 15:01 (nine years ago) link

I get the appeal of baggy clothes that feel snuggly etc, I LIVE in 20-year-old tshirts at home. But they don't have the same studied effect of erasing me from sight or making me look small and insignificant.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Sunday, 17 May 2015 15:03 (nine years ago) link

For $70.

Orson Wellies (in orbit), Sunday, 17 May 2015 15:03 (nine years ago) link

I was marching behind two very very small women yesterday and it was like, how do ppl treat you when you never get bigger than a small 12yo? I bet it's not super duper funtimes somehow.
