#30: Cuz breakin up is hard to do-oo


Dear faded denim, hammer pants, and knee length jean skirts,

I don't even know where to start. I mean, I know we were close. I thought my spatter-paint faded jean shorts would last forever. After all, they matched my hot pink I'm-not-allowed-to-wear-spaghetti-strap tank so well! But gone are the days of paying $25 for the 1996 commemorative Olympic Games beanie baby bear. I no longer have to walk across the cafeteria with my hands over my head to prove that my skirt and shirt are long enough for our academic "school of choice"...No, no I'm not pushing you aside like the skort. The skort was never good to me. It was never good to any of us. But, I remind you that has been 14 years. You can try and sneak into the fall line all you want, but the truth is...it's over. It's been over for a long time now. I need you to be strong, keep your chin up...I mean, hey! Everyone needs hand-me-downs, right?...I'm sorry, that was harsh. I didn't mean to be insensitive. But faded knee length denim skirts and hammer-pants jump suits just don't look good on anyone...ok? Ok. I'm glad we talked and I hope we can still be friends in a very nostalgic kind of way. 

Sincerely,
Every young woman who survived the 90's and don't wish to see them repeated.
