Twelve years ago I longed to have Cher’s high-tech closet (from Clueless of course, NOT the singer), and every outfit that came along with it. But looking back, some of those “totally cool” ensembles were just plain awful. So in an ode to their hideousness, here are a few trends you most likely sported growing up … that should stay in the past.
1. Mini Hair Claws.
If you’re like me, you twisted up your hair into perfect little rows, and adorned each with it’s own miniature claw. You looked really special if you alternated colors. And by special, I mean like an extra on Star Trek.
2. Sponge Platform flip-flops.
Little people unite! I no longer felt like the token “short friend” with these ones. But let’s be honest, I wasn’t fooling anyone. Now they work great as life preservers and bookends.

| Platforms are in again. Has anyone seen MK's hot pink pair? They are hideous. | |

| I know fiona!!! Scrunchies are so bad - I used to have ones when I was little that matched my pajamas - and remember that episode of Sex and the City - when Carrie said no women from New York would ever wear a scrunchie. So true. | |

What about scrunchies? I know these are still in style, but I can't stand crocs, and now they're making a mary-jane-type croc. The horror! Stirrup pants? |

| I used to wear mini hair claws! They came in all different colors - and with sparkles too. Ahhh it's so embarassing. | |
