I think my best outfit was in 9th grade when I was really into the 60's/70's hippy look (this was in 2003!). I wore these patchwork jeans that literally had patches sewn all over. Then I wore this billowy brown peasant top and boots. I had my hair flipped out, Farrah Fawcett style! I loved that outfit.Leah Harrisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07257115753657690249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90781495638287740.post-46955272714193048562011-08-26T11:54:38.981-05:002011-08-26T11:54:38.981-05:00Man, I had a lot of terrible back-to-school outfit...Man, I had a lot of terrible back-to-school outfits. Terribly awesome. I remember in second grade I thought school uniforms were cool (probably because my school didn't have them), so my mom bought me one anyway.

I remember literally crying about this outfit since I didn't like the hi-tops at the time, but I'd wear those now if they'd fit! So, it was more of a best outfit in hindsight.Grace Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05110195013695500133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90781495638287740.post-40349598233863521182011-08-26T00:37:25.133-05:002011-08-26T00:37:25.133-05:00Yup, love it.

One of the many pitfalls of graduating college. Anyway, this is how my mother dressed me on my first day of Kindergarten: Polka dots, horizontal stripes, pink trim, and a pink quilted backpack shaped as a doll. I still can’t decide if this is the best (blackmail material) or worst (outfit) my mother has dressed me in. <br /><br />http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lqib8bCGpE1qaqxl2o1_400.jpgccristobalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01068684401723513178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-90781495638287740.post-45502386423883657752011-08-25T16:11:10.094-05:002011-08-25T16:11:10.094-05:00I had a pretty serious obsession with cats and ani...I had a pretty serious obsession with cats and animals in general growing up, so, as you may imagine, there was many an animal-printed sweater in my school photos.
