Brooke- When I was very young in Elementary School I wore homemade clothes. I remember mom sitting at the sewing machine with very colorful fabric sewing my clothes. I don't remember anything specific only that they were homemade. As I grew older in the Elementary School I remember getting a pair of maroon/red nickers. I loved those pants. I probably wore them 4 days a week.
When Middle School came around I was becoming more stylish; and the styles were more important to everyone. One summer right before school started, mom had to go to Salt Lake to some classes. I went with her and sat through her class all day long.( it was pretty boring) She then took me school shopping to NORDSTROMS. She bought me a lot of clothes. REALLY cute clothes. One of the pairs of jeans were GUESS, with a jacket to match. I had the wardrobe that everyone envied. A few years later of course GUESS was the hot brand to buy. I always liked to say I was the first one in Wayne County with a pair of GUESS jeans..
When High School started, the popular trend was the Wrangler jeans and Roper boots. It seemed like the more colors of Wrangler pants and the more colors of Roper boots you had, the more popular you were. I did have a lot of different colors of Wrangler's and quite a few colors of boots. I still have some of those bright colored pants, that of course don't fit me anymore; but my kids sure like to look at them and laugh that I actually wore them.
Sarah-When I was in grade school I remember wearing wrangler and a western shirt. I had many different colors of wranglers and boots. In third or forth grade I had a pair of red boots that had a heal on them and some fancy styling in the side. Some of the boys would chase me around at P.E or recess and say that I had red nigger boots on. I would get so mad, I liked these boots a lot. In High School I still wore Wranglers but I also had some lucky jeans and didn't wear boots as much. I wore nice clothes and I liked to wear Nikes to school they were more comfortable. I figure I was always in style and never lacked for having clothes. Mom always made sure we never looked out of style and liked us to look nice. I remember her saying you always want to look just a little better then the next person. If our clothes were faded she didn't like us to wear them. I still can hear her sometimes as I am getting ready for work or church "you always need to look sharp". Thanks mom for the reminder.
Collette-I remember a few outfits I wore to school. The first was in Fourth Grade. I had a pair of turquoise polyesters. If that's not embarrassing enough I actually thought they were great because Mrs Chappell my teacher had the same pair. Man was I a nerd. I also remember this gray and white stripped jumper dress that I paired with these stir up leggings. In middle school over sized shirts were in style. One day Brooke left early for school so I snuck into her room and borrowed one of these "one size fits all" shirts that said ENUF on it and wore it to school. As I was walking home from the bus I kept my coat zipped all the way up, even thought it was a hot September day, just so if Brooke happened to see me she would not see the shirt. Well I made it home, opened the door and the first thing Brooke said to me was show me your shirt. There was no escaping the wrath of Brooke then and boy did she lay into me about stealing her shirt.
Raquel- I would usually wear jeans and a cute top with high hills. I always would buy pants long, I hate when my jeans are barely over my ankles. I would go school clothes shopping in August and those clothes would last me the whole year.
