Long shirts for sure, lots of layers, and GRAPHIC TEES are everywhere! Flip flops, clogs for college students, and ballet flats have been huge. As far as hair, the side swooped bangs seemed to appear early to mid 2000s and have evolved to straight across bangs. Stick straight hair for a while, everyone now owns a flat iron (if only to manage those bangs).

For me, I think about the clothes that used to be my absolute favs but then haven't worn in years - why? 'cause I just can't make it work in this fashion arena. So - I boxed up loads and loads of lovely shirts and sweaters that were waist or even just above the hip line. Now, if it's not down to the hips or lower, it's like there's something wrong with me! Uggs definitely. Skinny jeans and booties are definitely de-riguer.. but you can totally avoid them without being a fashion criminal. Layering and wearing the long long tops.. couldn't avoid it no matter where you shopped. In hair - texture or layerd cuts. And bangs! Have you noticed how bangs have made a comeback?

Since then: -Designer jeans really took off. They were everywhere (even at Costco!) -Really long, untucked t shirts became a staple -Skinny jeans/ pants -Gold jewelry (in the 90's it felt like silver was more popular) -ankle booties I graduated high school in 2001 so thinking back on the fashions of the last decade is a matter of asking myself what we were wearing in high school.

I had a baby boy on 2000, another baby boy in 2002 and then just for something different another baby boy in 2006. So basically in between maternity outfits I did lots layering with shirts as mentioned. 3/4 pants and jeans are a staple for me. And somewhere in there I added office wear so I could work. My friends and I joke that you can tell when fashion died for some women because they stick to whatever was the 'in thing' when fashion died for them, usually it co-incideds with that first maternity purchase. I wonder if I will be forever stuck in November 1999. But it ended well, 2009 has been all about the maxi dress, and I must say, I rock a maxi dress!!
