5 Things In My Childhood Closet That Make Me Regret Back To School Outfits

In This Article:

Middle school was a rough time for my closet and I think 2013-2017 was a rough time for a lot of people's closets. With edgy Tumblr fashion becoming popular, none of us stood a chance. My fringe bangs and "fierce" selfies really tied my looks together in my opinion but as for things in my closet, here are five things in my closet that make me regret 2014 fashion trends.

1. Infinity Scarves

The day infinity scarves took over Pinterest was a day that never should have happened. Every girl who had "style" in 2014 had infinity scarves. I, personally, owned 6. They were all different colors ranging from a subtle black to a vibrant and sparkly pink. I even started knitting them myself and let me tell you, they were not cute.

2. Flannels

These paired with the infinity scarves were a deadly combo for the fashion industry. Fall of 2015 really took a hit with these two paired together. What really makes these even worse is that we didn't stop wearing them when the weather got warmer. We just started styling them by tying them around our waists. Flannels were bought as an accessory piece for back to school in the fall but never left when we hit spring and summer and I will never understand why.

3. Colored Skinny Jeans

Okay, maybe this one was just me but I definitely wore colored skinny jeans from 2013 to 2016. They were a key piece of my back to school outfits. I had a pair of royal blue capris that I would pair with a bright pink and orange flowy tank top. That was my back to school outfit in 2013 and I didn't get rid of it until 2016. Three years. I wore colored skinny jeans for three years.

4. Sparkly Shoes

To tie my 2013 back to school outfit together, I added sparkly flats. That's right. Sparkly flats. It gets worse. They were turquoise, floral, sequin flats. Sparkly shoes were definitely popular for longer than they should have been and I wore them even after they went out of style.

5. Galaxy Print Leggings

Finally, my favorite piece from the 2014 Tumblr era. Galaxy print leggings. Galaxy print everything was such a key part of this time period. I had a galaxy print hoodie to go with my galaxy print leggings. I will never understand how we ever convinced ourselves that galaxy print leggings were cute but luckily that trend didn't last long.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
