(what we used to call "mom-jeans" in high school. I'm so not trendy now). Also had to have a blue plaid body suit, which my parents wouldn't let me wear when visiting family in LA because they said it was gang colors. Hahahah.</p> <p>Oh and I LOVED my jellies and Doc Martens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted/page/2#post-979538 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 20:01:43 +0000 woodentulip 979538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love this thread!</p> <p>I feel like I remember when Nike Air first came out and I BEGGGGGED for some. I know that I eventually got them (the first ones with the air pocket) but those ones came out way later!</p> <p>And water shoes! Ha! People in my neighbourhood wore them all around like normal shoes!</p> <p>And Pop Swatch--which I loved, and got for a birthday present! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted/page/2#post-979506 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 19:52:57 +0000 rachiecakes 979506@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@zippylef: are we twins? (if this were gold I'd share a pic from high school, haha)<br /> fishnets, combat boots and mini skirts were my uniform!</p> <p>I really, really wanted knee high Doc Martens - I settled for the 8-holes, that I bought with my first paycheck from my mall job. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted/page/2#post-979335 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:48:40 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 979335@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@allison: Birkenstocks! I replaced mine like three times before moving on to a different sandal. They were so comfy. I never had my own pair of NB. My neighbor had a few pair, so I would wear Hhers. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted/page/2#post-979326 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:44:46 +0000 IRunForFun 979326@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MediaNaranja: OMG I forgot about the Alloy catalog!!! Hahaha.</p> <p>I had jelly shoes, a couple pair, and when I was in 7th grade bell-bottom jeans were "cool" again. I wanted a pair soooo badly and finally got some...I think they had faded smiley faces on the thigh. Obviously super cool.</p> <p>ETA: And wool clogs. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted/page/2#post-979321 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:42:57 +0000 allison 979321@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@betsyboop: I got knockoffs.

Yay, thrifty mom :-P</p> <p>The only thing I ever BEGGED for (and got!!) was a NEW Packers Starter jacket like my two best friends. I now realize what a PITA that had to be for my thrifty mother. She really did love me :-) </p> [attach=3563/13/mqtr6i.600x450.packers.jpg] https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979309 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:34:21 +0000 fussygal 979309@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I really wanted a pair of Calvin Klein jeans.

Around 5th grade for me, too. 1995 in grunge central. I think everyone wore them with babydoll dresses. lol. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979210 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:01:11 +0000 MediaNaranja 979210@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>In middle school, all the "cool" girls wore roxy t-shirts. The larger and more pronounced the logo, the better. My mom always refused, because who wants to spend like $30 on a t-shirt for a 12-year that she will grow out of or stain after wearing it a few times?</p> <p>Doc Martens were also VERY popular, and I had quite a few pairs (always thrifted, never bought new)--black mary janes, blue mary janes, black combat boots, purple combat boots, some weird clog-y ones....</p> <p>Also, anything that came from the Delia's or Alloy catalog, haha. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979206 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 18:00:31 +0000 bpcmarj 979206@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The first thing I can remember having to have were l.e.i. jeans in the 8th grade. They were the ONLY thing I had to have when we were school shopping. I wore them and my new adidas sneakers on the first day. Then, 9th grade was when the 3 stripe shell toes were in style like @zippylef: talked about. Mine had a bright yellow patent stripe. They looked like clowns shoes on me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979202 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:59:23 +0000 autumnlove 979202@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: so cute! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979198 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:57:07 +0000 Mrs. Lemon-Lime 979198@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: These have flowers for LOs.

Mind you this was after a week spent shopping for back to school clothes at the start of the semester. She was livid when my clothing emergency was simply a spree that included "weird"Doc Martens. She just didn't get it. lol</p> <p>@Leialou: I lived in jelly sandals :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979167 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:44:32 +0000 autumnlove 979167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Lemon-Lime: Ahhhhhhh, I want to get a pair for my LO! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979163 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:43:50 +0000 citymouse 979163@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@TheSwissWifeStyle: I never got one, Im so jealous!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-remember-the-first-trendy-clothing-item-you-wanted#post-979161 Wed, 31 Jul 2013 17:42:18 +0000 LindsayInNY 979161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I wanted LA Gear high tops in 1st or 2nd grade.
