A trip down Memory Lane

I am trying to get rid of what I really don’t need, and one area that’s most challenging is in the “fashion files” collection. Anna Sui calls them her “genius files”, and I call mine..getting out of control. I think we fashion people tend to do this, hold onto images, magazines, fabric scraps, etc for future reference. While I think this is an excellent idea, considering I am 24 and have been keeping bits of fashion info since I was 12 or so, I really need to sort through it. Today I came upon this crumpled old Delias catalog from 1997! I totally wore all these sorts of things….everything from the Julias the Monkey Paul Frank stuff to the uber-rounded toe maryjane chunky heels and back. I even had some of that hair streaking weird gel pictured here from Cover Girl in blue. Yeah, I was cool…. Yikes! OK, but one thing I am glad of, I never wore those horrible huge Jinco jeans, or whatever they were called? Eww. In ten more years, I will be proud to say I never wore Crocs.
