17 '90s things you wore that your mum hated with a passion
You loved '90s styles. Your mum, not so much.
You loved '90s styles. Your mum, not so much.
Clear Bra Straps
The only thing your mum hated more than your clear bra straps showing was your actual bra straps showing.
Platform Flip Flops
Your mum was so concerned you'd twist your ankle wearing platform shoes, but you didn't care because you loved them.
Belly Button Rings
Around your parents, you only wore shirts that covered your belly after you got one of these bad boys at Claire's.
Sun-In
No matter how many times you tried this stuff, your hair always turned out brassy orange.
Visible Thongs
Your pants were so low that you had to pull your shirt down in the back every time you sat so your entire butt wouldn't show. No matter how hard you tried though, your thong was always hanging out.
Super Low-Rise Flare Lace-Up Jeans
Not only was your butt crack perpetually showing in these, but they also were so long that they dragged on the ground and would get stuck under your shoes.
Hair Dye
Didn't matter whether it was basic box dye from the grocery store or bright, neon wash-out colour. Your mum hated when you coloured your hair yourself.
Over-Plucked Eyebrows
Your mom would say, "You're going to regret that someday!" And you do. Because 20 years later your eyebrows still haven't grown back.
Tube Tops
These were infamous for sliding or rolling down, so you had to pull yours up all day long. And it drove your mom crazy.
Plaid Mini Skirts
You loved dressing like a Catholic school girl. Your mom didn't love it so much.
Temporary Tattoos
The package says temporary, but you had to use a wet wash rag to scrub it off and a layer of skin off with it.
Body Glitter
Moms hated body glitter sprays, roll-ons, lotions, hair gels, whatever because glitter. Gets. Everywhere.
Sharpie on Your Hand
How were you supposed to remember your homework assignments that night if you didn't write it on your hand in permanent marker?
JNCO Jeans
Honestly, your mom had a point here. Why were these so big?
