i was cool before it was cool

When I was a kid, I never wanted to grow up.  Why would I?  When the styles were so...consistently...awesome.  For example:

...pom pom hats, Keds, and windbreakers for kite-flying.

...gingham and calico.

...ruffles and Peter Pan collars.

...girly dresses, knee socks, t-straps, and hair bows (check out Jesus hailing my awesome fashion sense...he's probably psyched about the giant handmade cross I'm rocking a la Flava Flav).

...pig tails with yarn bows and a disco shirt.

...pink plaid and a Dorothy Hamill haircut.

...cute little dresses and wedge rope sandals.

...smocking, swiss dots, and chunky initial necklaces.

...knee socks with shorts.  ALWAYS.

...little side braids and Gunne Sax-ish floral print blouses.

...Peter Pan collars, curled hair, major brace face.

...matching dad and daughter track suits--pre-Royal Tenenbaums.
