Tiger ~ Leopard




Left: Stella McCartney at Neiman's

Right: Me, 1988, 12 years old.

I would wear that sweatshirt now if I still had it. ...and I'm pretty sure my hair was in a banana clip. A real banana clip, yo.

This is pretty amusing. You're rocking that over-sized sweatshirt!

Mrs. D said...

I actually saw banana clips for sale at a store the other day! I hadn't seen them since 1992 probably. I do hope they aren't coming back. They turn any head of hair into an Insta-Mane.
