Petty coats for everyday wear, anyone?
Ponytail rubbers with the plastic balls at the end.
Those tiny plastic hair clips in different shapes.
Keds sneakers was THE thing. And then later if you had sketchers you were super shticky.
I had mustard and hot pink tights as a little girl. Not sure if it was a trend though.
Giesswein jackets with the buttons that you were able to push out of the holes...
A piece attached to the back of the phone so it leans comfortably on your shoulder. Who remembers that one?

yes!

Yes- When I was in 4th, 5th grade, I was dying to get one just like my teachers!

When I was in high school it was a thing to wear them but it had to be from Abercrombie.

Ooh I loved them. My sitter told me the reason why it was rare was because she died and they stopped making them. Don’t know if that was true 🤔

Am I the only one who still wears them because they are loose, comfortable, and have pockets?

I laugh at how big glasses are in now. I remember when slim small glasses were in and I would look at pictures of myself when big glasses were in and think how old fashioned it looked. And now it's back in style and small glasses are odd Compress

Those plastic necklaces from the 80's, the more plastic charms the more "in" you were.

- Bowl sinks - So impractical; How do you clean the counter? Never understood the appeal of this trend when a nice counter with a smooth seamless integrated sink is technologically possible.

- Counter seating in the kitchen instead of a normal table. Who would want this? If I am in a cafe, I never choose to perch on a high stool if a comfy normal-height chair is available. This is only suitable if you are by yourself and slurping down a quick coffee and don't want to interact with others. Totally weird for a family setting. My home is not an Edward Hopper painting.

- Shabby chic - peeling paint, battered wood. Ugh. I guess it matches ripped jeans and frayed hems.

Responding to the OP. I had a friend growing up that had an all mirror bathroom and it was so disturbing. It was like being in a fun house which trying to just go to the bathroom. I avoided using the bathroom at her house.

I had no idea it was actually a trend, I just thought someone really weird lived there before lol.

My mil recently gave me a Michal negrin necklace lol! No clue if she bought it new or found it in her closet but she couldn’t get over the beauty of it and can’t understand why I’m not wearing it
