    Mine was a short-sleeved 'raver' t-shirt with a hood I wore when I was 13. It was a orange,green and yellow aztec pattern. For a few months I thought I looked cool.

    Okay, we're going back over twenty years but I once bought and wore a pair of tight, black, satin trousers.

    Don't ask.

    Come on, ya' got to tell more!!!! Inquiring minds need to know, do you still wear the purple boxers.....or is it briefs now??? I can only imagine the visual!!!

    The worse thing I had to wear were these matching outfits mom made for us 4 girls. They were HIDEOUS!! I'd even say they were demonized!! The neck came up to my chin. They were a nasty purlpish/red-pinkish color. It didn't take long to spill something on mine and render it useless. Since I did all the laundry, the other outfits didn't make it through too many washings.

    The other ugly thing was these orange platform shoes. I ca'nt believe I actually wore those things! The rest of the award would have to go to the suits my stepdad wore. Since he was a ministrial servant he tried to look "hip". But all of those awful polyester suits needed to be thrown in the fire with the other demonized items!!!

    matching outfits

    I knew it wouldnt be long before this phrase came up. Me and my brother wore quite a few matching items of clothing, in particular i remember a royal blue pair of trousers with a thick red stripe down each leg. Nice!

    Turquoise and pink short shorts. I was young and had a good figure but nothing would have made those look good.

    Next, stiletto heels, wrecked my feet for ten years with ingrown toenails.

    Talk about flashbacks!!!!

    My G'mother knew a lady that made dresses and when I was in elementary and middle school, my Mother would send my measurements to my Gram and have this lady make dresses for me. (UGH) (SHUDDER)

    I don't know where she got the fabric, but her color combinations were less than desirable, and I cringed every time a package from her came on my birthday or at Christmas. There wasn't ONE item during all those years---that would have been chosen by me to wear to school!! Or anywhere for that matter!

    The worst one was a red-white-blue plaid skirt with an attached blouse and vest in an unmatching shade of blue. It was always way too big, (I was very skinny as a kid) and my Mom would make me wear it when Gram was visiting.....oh, the shame!!! The humiliation!!!

    I have a few snapshots (somewhere) of me when I was wearing one of these "creations" and the impact is still the same.....

    Think my worst has to be my school uniform - maroon Crimplene jacket and skirt. The fabric was so thick and sweaty in summer. You'd get static electric shocks all the time and the worst thing - we had to wear these for the first 3 years of high school (11-14) when many girls are rapidly expanding - my parents couldn't afford another uniform and crimplene doesn't stretch much... nuff said...

    My grandmother, who was an expert tailoress, once made me an overcoat.

    It was turquoise..
