Trends

Haha I had all of that too!

Shag bands......!

Had all of the above. My inflatable of choice was a blue chair to go in my yellow, blue and green bedroom complete with flowery border *barf*

Blue and yellow bedrooms were the standard choice for a trendy teenage girl in the late 1990's. I have a flash of mine....

I had the yellow and green bedroom. Border too, I dont have photos here but I'm sure there will be some in my Mums. Sofa beds were also cool, and cabin beds, my bedroom was tiny and only for one person, I had a cabin bed, with wardrobe and desk underneath, a wardrobe and a sofa bed which pulled out into a double bed. There was literally no floorspace. Why???

Scrunchies! The really cool girls wore a few at the same time...

I hope these never come back into fashion.

Hypercolour t-shirts:

And anything with suns, moons and stars on it...I had a duvet cover which looked very similar to this:

And shell suits! I adored my bright pink shell suit!! ? ?

Wow!! All of the above! Loved pogs, had the blue and yellow bedroom and suns and moons with an inflatable sofa.

Also had tazos which were big in our school and tamogotchi!!!

This is what every girl in my school smelled of in their early teens, there was a cheap rip-off version you could buy in internacionale but I can't remember what it was called

I remember being desperate for one of these and my mum finally saving up for one from Argos!

Loads had to be worn with a scraped back pony tail, loads of scrunchies, big hoop earrings and you had to have your fringe gelled into weird spikes down your forehead. Can't find any pics of that look thank god! Can you tell we were pretty broke and I went to an extremelly chavvy school?

Hahahaha Pandora! During disputes at my school you were almost guaranteed to be asked if you wanted "a sovereign in yer heed". Delightful young ladies that we were! ?

I used to wear 3 or 4 a day!!

the first time I ever had a black eye it was due to someone punching me with a maaaaaaaahooosive sovereign!

F*ck me, I'd forgotten how vile scrunchies are.

I know and I thought I was so cool with them!!

Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the trouser skirt...

I am extremely proud to say that I have never owned a sovereign ring or any other cheap piece of jewellery from Argos. ?

Jelly shoes and what we called bubble shoes, they were stacked trainers with with straps...grim

Sweater shop jumpers;

Jojo you have summed up my teenage years. In fact I think I partook in all of the above at some point.

I had this exact jumper. Soooo cool.

I had something similar and also an extra large dolphin full of gems. My pride and joy at 15 😄

I still have these (or very similar). They are great in the snow!

I have a photo of me and my friends from 1997, I'm wearing Kappa poppers, a Sweater shop jumper and "spice girls" white platforms. My friends are wearing Adidas poppers, Kickers jumper, Kickers shoes, Reebok jumper and another Sweater Shop jumper. Just to add to that, we're all doing our best Spice girls kicks. Oh and one of my friend's hair has the blonde streaks just at the very front.

I am sure theres photo eveidence on facebook of me with a sovereign necklace, a flying jacket and a naf naf jumper. Im off to check, if so I'll steal the photo and shame myself here.

Skip-it anyone?

I loved skip it!!!! I could do with one of these now!! Well I could only probably do one in my state, but I bet these would be a good keep fit tool- so much fun!!

I am wearing a gold necklace of some description and a flying jacket and bad jumper, not to mention the eyebrows ? but check out my friends fingers, sovereign ahoy!! And the berghaus on the boy!! Scally city! I was 13 here. ha ha.

Love it vanillapod, i remember having a st christoper sovereign for my 13th birthday from argos my mum tried to get my to have a birthstone one but i was having none of it in primary school my group of friends were trend setters with our tammy girl dresses, white knee high socks and what we called blossom hats, i had this very one as modelled by the twins from sister sister

OMG Tia and Tamara! I loved this programme! And 'Clarissa Explains It All'
