Really, when you think about it, it's no wonder I didn't go to the prom.
Here, though I'm not proud, are selections from a list of what I wore to school EVERY DAY my junior year in high
school.
I'm not sure what inspired me to keep track of this information. It's likely that I must have been very conscientious
about not wearing the same thing more than once every few weeks. It's even more likely that I was a gigantic dork.

Tops
|
Pants
|
|
| Monday |
Blue sweater/white tank
|
Fast jeans
|
"Fast" was a name brand, probably from County Seat or
something. I loved these jeans. They were straight legged and cropped! In fact, unless otherwise noted, I think
that all of my jeans during this period were cropped.
|
| Tuesday |
Wham! concert t-shirt
|
Zena comfort jeans
|
Can I just point out that my Wham! shirt was a size large?Jeez,
and I thought I was fat in high school...
|
| Wednesday |
Huey Lewis concert t-shirt
|
Striped jeans
|
The Huey Lewis shirt was white with a pink and blue logo; my jeans
had pink and white pinstripes. I think I even had some pink Keds. It was 1986, FYI.
|
| Thursday |
Yellow oxford / Paisley tie
|
Zena Comfort jeans (I'm not sure what was so comfortable about
them...I think they were pinstriped as well.)
|
Paisley tie. Yep.
|
|
Friday
|
Red w/ Men shirt
(This was the coolest shirt! It was this big, oversized blouse
with little black solider men marching all around on it. It looked especially groovalicious with suspenders!)
|
Black

I was going back-to-school shopping with my best friend Aimee and
her family, and my mom gave me the JC Penney credit card to use. It turned out that the mall we went to didn't
have a JC Penney, so Mrs. Laskowski offered to let me charge what I wanted on her Visa until my mom paid her back.
I wasn't sure if this would fly with Glo, but I was desperate for new digs. I went (I thought) hog wild in Limited
Express, and spent <gasp> $105! I felt so guilty.
So I got home from shopping and I was freaking out waiting for my
mom to come home so I could tell her what I had done. I was sure I was going to get punished; in fact, I had all
of my clothes displayed throughout my room so it would look like I had bought a lot with $100. I even set out socks
and shoes for each outfit. When my mom finally came home, and I told her that she owed Mrs. Laskowski $105, she
looked at my loot and said, "Oh. OK. That's fine." PHEW!

I could go on, but there are 40 weeks of this.
At one point (Week 24, Monday and Tuesday), I had worn my Zena Comfort jeans two days in a row and in the margin
I had circled this scandalous information and written "GROSS!!!"
At the end of Week 32, I had worn the Zena Comforts three times by Friday. Answering to some internal censor, I
wrote "Yes, Again!!" next to Friday's entry.
On Wednesday of Week 27 I participated in the Mock United Nations for my American Studies class, so I noted that
I had worn "Ethiopian clothing--sheet".
On Friday of the 22nd week, I wore a dress to school. This must not have been a regular occurrence, as I simply
marked "Dress" in the Tops column without distinguishing which one it was. In the Bottoms column, I made
the cheeky notation: "None!".
This is not to say that all entries were so lighthearted. On Tuesday of Week 19, my angst-ridden entry informs
me that for a top I had worn a blue and red sweater, along with a turtleneck adorned with whales. When it came
time to record my bottoms, however, I had simply scrawled "Who cares???" Next to this entry there is
a small note in a different colored pen (obviously written when I had come to my senses) reminding me that I had
worn my (Fast jeans).
Thank goodness for accountability. |
