7. Extreme Flairs (aka Bell Bottoms).
My mom warned me against this one—she had an embarrassing stash of photos from the 70s looking “trendy,” (more like “ridiculous”). I still didn’t listen. Now I have a stash.

8. Uggs.
Sometimes you cross your fingers that a celebrity sports the outfit you’re dying to wear, so then you can justify your fashion choices. That celebrity was Kate Hudson in 2003 and the trend—Ugg boots and a mini-skirt. I think I must have been temperaturely confused—I couldn’t tell if I was hot or cold, so I decided to make a hybrid outfit. I still cringe.

9. Make your own 80s.
With the 80s revival brought the need to cut up every shirt in your closet, so that it hung sexy-like off your shoulder. Now I just wish I had those shirts back. Sad.

10. Sparkle Belts.
Another bedazzle nightmare. The motto: the more low-slung, the better. Why I chose to look like I shopped at the 99 cent store is beyond me.
