You and your mum didn’t agree on much back then. You did, however, agree that all of the below things were the bomb.
LIMITED TOO LACE CAMIS
Your mum got these for you because of the built-in shelf bras. You wore them under literally everything you owned so the cute lace could poke out at the bottom.
SHRINKY POPCORN SHIRT
Your mum loved these so much she even got one in every colour for you and herself.
STEVE MADDEN SLIP ONS
You had these and your mum had these. Y’all were basically twinsies every time you wore your strechy slip ons and your shrinky shirts together.
CAPRI PANTS
Gap, Primark… Repeat.
SHRUGS
“You’re going to freeze in that dress without a jacket.” —Everyone’s mum.
TURTLENECKS
The OG favourite.
TANKINI SWIMSUITS
The tank top and bikini hybrid. They’re like one-piece swimsuits except a little sassier because they’re ~two-pieces~.
BOY SHORT SWIMSUITS
You either had a tankini, or you had boy short swimsuit bottoms.
T-SHIRTS UNDER SPAGHETTI STRAPS
Straps that were thinner than two-fingers wide weren’t allowed at school, so your mum got you baby tees to wear underneath.
YOUR NAME ON ALL OF YOUR CLOTHES
If you ever went to overnight camp, your mum wrote your name or your initials on every single item that was yours. Some of your favourite old T-shirts still have your name in it.
DAY-OF-THE-WEEK UNDIES
You know, in case you forgot which undies to wear that day.
SHEER PANTYHOSE
Every formal event in the ’90s called for sheer tights. At least according to your mum.
OUTFITS THAT MATCHED HERS
You were her mini-me on every Christmas card.
