Truly. The 90s were just unkind, especially in the footwear department. My problem was not only my clothes, but my hair and face, too, which is why I will never post any h.s. photos. I looked like Frida Kahlo.<br /><br />I am so laughing at Ashley's comment. I love sisters!<br /><br />...Also...I am sooo nervous asking this! Damita and I will be in SLC for a few days starting tomorrow and we're taking a trip down to Utah County to do a few things there. Would you wanna meet up for breakfast/brunch on Tuesday morning on our way down? It could be our first step in arranging Mita's and Buster's wedding.

I love looking back at the stupid styles we wore. I don't think we ever took couple pictures at dances like you did--only proms. We typically didn't go to the regular dances through the year with a date--everyone went stag. Thankful for that! I did the whole off-the-shoulder scandal as a Freshman to the Homecoming Dance, but my mom made my dress, so I'm not sure how scandalous that could be. ;) It was a big thing when I went to high school to have your dresses custom-made...that was the first time I can remember being thankful that my mom could sew. Not sure how "fashion" they were but it was fun to get what I thought I wanted. :) Of course, when the dresses were finished, I was a bit anxious to actually wear them outside but it was too late by then!Stephanie Eldredgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01189471555578047071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-74745949028620783502011-09-07T22:18:04.899-07:002011-09-07T22:18:04.899-07:00I cant stop looking at these pics -they are all fa...I cant stop looking at these pics -they are all fantastic!!! I cant believe how many dances you had. I think I went to 3 my entire time at High School.<br />The 90's was shocking for fashion but the shoe/boot and the pink jeans seem to be making a comeback.<br />The "hog" pic is just dying to be sent to the awkward photo blog.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15640295303098476856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-40729198796253454992011-09-07T22:09:46.296-07:002011-09-07T22:09:46.296-07:00Probably not Mom.

I was awful in high school ('95!), as in, I had no sense of style at all and generally looked so bad that I take it as a huge compliment when I am unrecognizable to those who knew me then, but I actually think that was an ok time to have no sense of style because even the most stylish looked pretty bad. I am always wondering which current trends will be mocked in a few years. I am going iwth skinny jeans.alexandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15170652655203156977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-54991215686987502622011-09-06T19:48:21.290-07:002011-09-06T19:48:21.290-07:00Hilarious!

I'm sure he's really cute, but he was younger and in my ward.<br /><br />We wore some pretty crazy clothes back in the day. I'm sure we'll look back on what we wear now and laugh. Give it a few years. I saw someone wearing Girbaud jeans at the U game last week. And, my neighbor still has a pair he wears every once in a while.

Amy (Bagley) Madsen introduced me to your blog a while ago and we both think it's too funny (we actually talk about what's on your blog all the time, as in, "Did you read Brooke's blog?") But I always spied from afar, since I was merely a blog stalker. But I think now that you've posted a pic of my hubby on your blog, I can safely claim I read it. That picture makes me laugh. To this day, Josh's sisters still tease him about you (he may have had a little crush on you and he may now kill me for telling you that, but bygones). This post made me laugh, for the 90s were an eyesore. Thanks for all the laughs and for giving Amy and me something to talk about (I'm sure we'll be talking about this post tomorrow).--Jessy MadsenMadsen Familyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854125615482862825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4671219598257411453.post-19809523217872293432011-09-06T17:29:21.173-07:002011-09-06T17:29:21.173-07:00This is the BEST post you have ever written.

Your male date riding another male. It just got worse.<br /><br />The Jessica McClintock is cute, and very 90's. Immodest, immshmodest.<br /><br />The hay bale and bridal wear are not good. I have never seen those mini shoe/boots in my life, and I hope to never see it again. Must be a Utah thing!<br /><br />Brighton prom was super hot.
