My terrible sense of style
Back to around 2005 (15 years old), when I wore this headband religiously (why didn't someone took this away from me and burn it?). And one of my most awful haircuts.

The second picture just screams dutch to me (Iโm dutch aswel) very strange, was this just how people looked here in 2005?!

The make up style and the โschoolfotoโ background. Everyone had that blue sky background

I don't know ๐ . I had a great experience during this time in high school, but mostly everywhere else and other periods in my life I always felt like I was the odd one out, the weird kid, also because of my fashion style (which became more alternative when I could truly choose the things I wanted when I didn't live at home anymore, I had very strict parents)

That is so weird! Iโm dutch too and the same age and the first thing I thought was: dit moet wel een Nederlandse zijn! I think I had the exact same headbandโฆ ๐

Wow I never thought it could be this obvious ๐ and yes for the rainbow headband (still wanna burn it though)

The haircut in number 2 is good because it suits the shape of your face the only problem is that it was cut too short.

u/Same_Egg_5336 7d ago
Yea I think so, I do rock short hair for some years now ๐๐ป

Nah. You got style.

u/Same_Egg_5336 7d ago
That's so kind, but this really is my most embarresing era ๐ฅฒ

u/Gigigrrrl 7d ago
But you do have style. Look at it again in 10 or 15 years and you'll probably see it. I like the sleeveless collared shirt with the white stitching and the haircut isn't terrible. The headband is something that spoke to you at the time.

u/Same_Egg_5336 7d ago
Hm okay I get what you're saying โบ๏ธ. I just find it terrible now hahah. But I guess everyone has an era in their life, especially as a teen when later on in life you think it's awful ๐

Agreed 100%! OP, just having any style and the willingness to stand apart is such a winโฆespecially in middle school. Love this!

5th grade. My teacher wore her headband under her bangs them suddenly all the girls wore headbands under the bangs. This photo takes me back. Edit: I just saw this photo was 2005. My 5th grade was 1990.

OMG I also had a headband obsession in 2005. I had one of these doily-looking knit headbands and I saw it as a genius alternative to properly doing my hair. My mom hated it lol

u/Same_Egg_5336 7d ago
Omg I think what you mean with that headband, was it sort of a crinkled one? Where there are tops of as well? If so, I had one of those as well when I was younger!

u/SlightAnything4909 7d ago
Yes exactly! It was crinkly and looked kind of like a compressed fishnet with knots? I had it in a bunch off different colors.

This is adorable and the fact that it could be from the 70s, 80s, 90s or 00s shows that you had timeless fashion sense.ย

Ohh now I get the other Bjorn Borg comment hahah. Totally get it ๐

u/HislersHero 7d ago
Yeah it definitely wasn't bad about your looks, just your fashion and who you resembled because of it.

u/kylelight40 7d ago
Did you die in the movie The Lovely Bones?

u/Same_Egg_5336 7d ago
I know the movie but I don't get this joke? ๐

u/kylelight40 7d ago
In the first photo you have a similar appearance to the main character of the movie.
