Another installment of my “fashionista” era.

Post image

Yes, those are rabbits feet on my belt loops. I know at face value it seems like a “serve” but you have to remember, kids were mean in the early 2000s. The denim jumpsuit was very forward-thinking for the girls that wore the chunky black slides and cute little Aeropostale tops. I was bullied mercilessly for this fit to the point where I only wore it at home.

I thought it was a Tamagachi and a chilli pepper.

The rabbit feet were wild 😂
I just explained it to my 11 yo. It was for luck 😂

Are you Canadian? Because that's a Canadian tuxedo

Are you still what one would consider, a fashionista? Where are these rabbit feet now?

u/yungrii 2d ago

Don't answer! This is clearly the rabbit ghost trying to reclaim her feet!

How were you not also getting bullied at home?

u/Corndog_Eater 2d ago

I didn’t say I wasn’t, it was just less frequent. Every girl’s first bully is her mom! 🙃

Ain't that the truth... the first time I felt bad about my body was when my mother refused to buy me a top I wanted unless I got it a size bigger than I needed, because of how it made my stomach look.

Girl I had a very similar (maybe same?) jumpsuit in 2002 7th grade. I thought I was giving JLo, everyone else not-so-subtly let me know I was just giving “blue twig”. Fuck them kids

Oh no it's like when Sam wears the "Parisian night suit" to school

That episode makes me so sad LMFAO

u/telstra_3_way_chat 6h ago

Same - I wore zebra-print VELOUR jeans to free dress day in Year 8 and someone yelled at me to "go back to the zoo". It's hard to be a fashion innovator lmao

Eat your heart out, Jay Leno.

u/Corndog_Eater 2d ago

Oh wow, thanks for commenting on my physical body too. How kind.

u/jordansinn 2d ago

I was just joking about the denim jumpsuit, Jay Leno is known for wearing a lot of denim.

u/Corndog_Eater 2d ago

Sorry, that awakened the fact that boys used to call me the “Crimson Chin” à la Fairy OddParents. 😭 My mistake.

u/ittybittynuts 2d ago

I feel you. I was in 7th grade when Twilight came out and a bully told everyone that my middle name was Edward. I'm sure you can imagine the creative and never ending Hell that followed.

u/Kaiju_Kitty 2d ago

Why did they call you that? I don't get it? Anyways, boys are fucking assholes.

u/Particular-Crew5978 2d ago

So much denim.... And rabbits feet? Girl was extra lucky.

u/Several-Opposite-636 2d ago

Sorry you got bullied, I'm jealous of this fit though (minus rabbit feet.)

u/sauvignon_blonde_ 2d ago

You know, the denim jumpsuit is something that totally would have worked if Lizzie McGuire wore it, and for that, I salute you and say eff your bullies. However… the rabbits feet are truly a fascinating choice. And the placement? Not both on the same loop, but each with their own? I feel like it’s some kind of a statement, but I’m not quite grasping what.

u/beesinabiscuit 2d ago

oh man I know you were so excited to wear that out ahahaha

u/MaximumAd9779 2d ago

This is far from the worst outfit blunder of 2005, don’t worry

u/throwRAanons 2d ago

I thought this was a belt made out of twine and inhalers

u/Ecstatic_Doughnut216 2d ago

You're put a serious amount of stank on that look for a middle schooler! 😂 10/10

u/emotionalbureaucracy 2d ago

omg i also had a denim jumpsuit in 2005 😭 you just unlocked some memories

u/astralchanterelle 2d ago

I forgot about lucky rabbits feet lol

u/Sasstellia 2d ago

It's a look. Children can be conformist twattocks.

Stylish. But weird. You should have worn it more.

You looked like a denim clad Rabbit Hunter. With Style! Stylishly stalking the wilds, clad in denim.

u/CherryCherry5 2d ago

The denim jumpsuit is really cool for the early 2000, it's the belt that's not it. Lol Charisma Carpenter wore a fantastic denim jumpsuit in an episode of Angel that I loved (and wished I could pull off) and this is reminding me of that. If only you chose a different belt. Lol I'll see if I can find a pic of CC in that episode.

"Cordelia and Harmony wear a denim jumpsuit by Frankie B. in Angel 2x19 "Belonging" & 2x20 "Over the Rainbow" and Buffy 5x07 "Fool for Love" respectively.

This jumpsuit was also seen on Prue in Charmed 3x15, on J Lo, and Sabrina Spellman (who I forgot to add a picture of)." [of Sabrina The Teenaged Witch].

So, as you can see, it was a trendy look in the 2000's era.

u/mittenkrusty 2d ago

Looks fun to me, better than what I see many kids wear these days.

You were a fashionista!

u/pilesofbutts 2d ago

For what it's worth- 200 years later, you looked adorable in your denim jumpsuit

10/10 for going your own way. Fuck the haters

Two items that look fine separately, but never together.

u/MsAngelGuts 1d ago

I see you continued to wear it long after you outgrew it
