#9. Back packs

Why did we carry such small foreign back packs? We had no cell phones, we had nuthing but a pager which was clipped to our jean pockets.

#8. Matte Lips

I believe it was Cliniques Black Honey Lip Stick that really blew my mind in the 90's, if Cindy Crawford wore it, so did I. Also, you HAD to use a lip pencil, had to.

#7. Pegged jeans

Pegged jeans- Some call this "tight rolling" some called it "pegging" either way it was a brief but generation defining trend that the cast of 90210 really embraced.

#5. Cropped Sweaters

Cropped Sweaters- Remember Liv Tyler in Empire Records? With the sky blue cropped sweater and plaid skirt? That's what I'm talking about, we loved any and all long sleeve, cropped sweaters after that.

#4. Dirty Grandpa cardigans

Kurt Cobain made this cool, but it was really the emotional teenage girls who wrapped themselves in it, that made this trend stick.

#3. Oversized Flannels

If you were a girl you wrapped this around your waist, if you were a guy you also had a plaid coat, a plaid sweatshirt and a plaid hoodie. There really were no other options.

#2. Floral Baby Doll dresses

These were usually slightly sad looking, with a faded plaid or a tiny floral print. Some of us wore it with a vest, some just used those clever clips to cinch the back. SO CHIC.

#1. Doc Martens

Whether it was the 8 hole cherry red 1460's, or the Mary Janes with the butterfly holes on the top, you had them and wore them without any understanding of the skinhead subculture.
