Scaredy cat!

I've always always loved stripes, but way to scared to wear them! I just never thought I could pull them off....Back in the sixth grade I remember being so excited getting ready for a new school and being much closer to high school, I decided it was time to give up my brothers shirts and carpenter pants(yes I know it's sad, and what's worse I paired this gorgeous ensemble with spice girl style platform shoes! I can't bring myself to look at most of those pictures!) My mom took me school shopping and it was time for a new me and new style.... I saw this outfit on the mannequin and decided I had to have it! It was a pair of sparkly bell bottom jeans and a striped polo (YIKES!!!!!) I didn't try this on and let me tell you it looked horrible on my body type (back then I was very chubby!!) I didn't know anything about fashion and body types back then, I just thought it was cool because all the popular kids had this style of clothes. I wore it to school and got made fun of so badly it's taken me almost 12 years to brave the stripes again lol! But this sweater has become one of my favorites!
