got this thread idea from this video ^
curious to learn how you guys have transformed over the years from I guess 5th grade forward to 2020!
(Seems to be where she started so but I guess you can start at whatever year you want)
How do you have the patience for those videos?
You create your own interest. It's not about the subject at face value, it's the perspective you bring to it, and what you're doing with the information as you process it, that makes it entertaining.
Mine is cringe.
2005 -2009 (5th grade to freshman in high school)
So I always wore layers at this point in my life, it was a habit that started in elementary school and continued through middle school.
Like I would wear two jackets ontop of each other, or two shirts. (Abercrombie, gap, Hollister)
Like a long sleeve under a short sleeve t-shirt a lot.
And then just shorts to above my knee. And that's just how I dressed from the time I was really young, like when I was 4.
I dressed like a tomboy basically.
And usually wore sperry's (docksiders) and rainbows, you probably don't know what those are if you're not from Florida but. That's just the shoe everyone wears.
I was really into hoodies, I fucking loved hoodies, sweaters in general. But yeah and I would often get them from the boys section because my arms were too long and my body was too long, but I was extremely skinny, so like, a size large in women's didn't work out for me cuz it looked ugly and big... but a size small or medium in boys fit perfect.
I also had all my pants tailored at this point because I was smaller than a size double zero in the waist. :(
(eating disorder vibes)
In 10th grade I started wearing more jewelry and got on that hipster trend.
I started getting into cardigans and ripped up black or plain jeans, and striped t-shirts. I went through a phase where I really liked stripes for some reason.
And yeah started wearing more rings and necklaces with little charms on them, all of it was sentimental at this point and kind of clunky and old looking. kind of woven looking bracelets. etc
I liked long chain necklaces.
I started getting into vans and Toms shoes, and I also pierced my ears this year and started wearing really weird earrings, got into gauges.
and by the end of this year I also had dreads and a septum.
started getting into brands like billabong and urban outfitters and brandy Melville, kind of stoner-y hipster grunge skater stoner? is how I dressed. lol
oh yeah and beanies, and scarves... LOL and plaid shirts... baseball tees... flow-y hippie shirts
11th grade
I was really into this kind of jacket this year, I forgot what it's called but I had a bunch of them.
Or I always wore a cardigan sweater, or oversized flannel.
Started wearing a watch for some odd reason, with a plain black band and white face.
the style went more grunge here and I started wearing ripped up jeans pretty much everyday, that were oversized.
it was funny because my friend girl/girl friend (I'M NOT A LESBIAN YET OKAY I JUST HAPPEN TO HOOK UP WITH MY FRIEND BUT IT DOESN'T EVEN COUNT SHE S NOT MY GIRLFIRNED OK IM NOT GAY I SWEAR) she came over to my house and was like "I'm gonna help you get dressed for a job interview!" and she looked in my closet and was like, "do you have any other pants? why do you only have t-shirts?" LOL and I was like uhhh what else am I supposed to have?? and she's like u can't wear that to a job interview u retard and I'm like wearing vans and ripped up jeans and a band t-shirt. and she's like fuck just wear what I'm wearing. so I had to trade clothes with her lol (the job was for a coffee shop lol foreshadowing, I work in a coffee shop now in 2020 LOL)
I liked the large cargo-y jackets because they had lots of pockets, I could put snacks and my phone and headphones ( constantly had headphones in lol) and glasses and everything in there. Also drugs.
12th grade
so I went goth in 12th grade. I was really depressed and wanted to fucking die, and wrote really sad poetry, and played guitar a lot. and kept moleskin journals and painted a lot. at 3am.
listened to music constantly.
I dunno I just felt like "black" like, it's hard to explain lol but yeah I just wanted to dress how I felt to show it??? I don't know. and I felt like, black and dark all the time so I decided to represent who I felt I was I would just wear black all the time.
so I wore band t-shirts, black skinny jeans, boots or vans, etc.
and then long sleeve like, cardigans with buttons on them or, uh.. like long loose, light weight tops or light weight knits.
and of course le beanieszzzz
I didn't dye my hair purple though, I actually cut most of it off.
still kept my same jewelry from before, not much changed there.
I became a lot more anti-social this year and just, didn't fucking care about jack shit.
so yes I had a goth phase and no, we're not going to talk about it lol
Freshman and Sophomore year of college (2013 +)
I don't fucking know what I was doing here, my life was all over the place because I was traveling a lot and I didn't stay in one place for too long. So I just wore whatever I already had. It was a mixture of stuff from like 2010, forward.
And the dreads came back (on accident) as my hair grew out for the next few years, while I was traveling because I lost my hair brush and just, let it go while I was in Mexico and, whoops. Dreads.
I also lost my gauges so my ears shrunk up. I was sad to have lost them because they were really unique, I found them in New Orleans in some random little store, and they were obtained from a small Native American tribe in America somewhere and then sold there. They were hand made and hand carved.. they weren't "plugs" it's hard to explain but, they were really cool. :'(
2015
I came out of the closet (on accident, I was black mailed LOL) also, was at my absolute thinnest at this time I would say. and this is when I was getting work in modeling and recruited off the street.
So I started taking photos of myself and posting them on Tumblr, and wore like what was popular at that time on Tumblr and that I felt models wore?
LOL
so it was like, plain white shirts, skinny jeans, long straight hair, sometimes a side braid, oversized flannel.
and then I traveled around a lot, and wound up meeting my girlfriend.
I was really content at this time so that's about all I wore. maybe a parka or a beanie.
and I liked boots at this time, so. boots. high heeled boots sometimes. because I wanted to be tall and thin looking.
sometimes I wore a black pant with a black blazer type of look, with the tall black boots. or a long black knit.
kept it really simple.

I get that for B-level content, I watch a lot of garbage too, but mine tend to have absurdist themes.
I swear that you're watching this stuff completely unironically.
For years up until freshman year of college
Then for 2 years I wore a bland Jeans and t-shirt, all outdated hand-me-down clothes. Looked unstylish
For one week I tried out the vest look that some of my forester professors wear.
Now I wear Jeans or khakis and button ups
I don't really have much to say on topic other than trying to wear more unisex form-fitted clothes instead of one-size-too-big baggy crap.
I really didn't like people seeing my shape.
