Rarely is it ever said by one looking at pictures from their past, “Wow. I was so cool and
trendy!” Never, actually. Usually, (well, always), it’s more like, “I WORE THAT!!!???” The
reason for this is because trends come and go. Fads die. Sometimes old styles make a comeback
(like converse, thankfully), and some die forever (man-buns, hopefully).
Nostalgia, as defined by dictionary.com, is “a wistful desire to return in thought or in fact to a
former time in one’s life…” Everybody experiences this occasionally. Actually, I experienced it
the other day. I was thinking about my childhood and then I got to thinking about what I clothed
myself in as a kid.
What. Was. I. Thinking.

At one point in my childhood the style was anything with glitter on it. All my friends had glitter
make up, glitter shirts, glitter pants, even glitter hair! I remember one time a girl was in the bathroom
sobbing because some of her (what else?) glittery eye shadow had gotten into her eyes. What is it they say? Oh
yeah. Beauty is pain.
That was the trend when I was a kid.
I’m sure that 30 years from now, I’ll look back and
think, “I wore flannel??? Gross!” Yes, my kids will laugh at me, just as I laughed/still laugh
at what my parents used to wear. That’s what’s so great about trends, they create generations of
family jokes.
What is a trend that you, dear reader, remember from your childhood? Comment below! If you
were around in the 80’s, please comment below.
Thanks everyone! -Sarina
