Utter coolness, amiright?! You know what wasn't utter coolness? Me, in high school. I wish my teen years were like the wacky kids on this skirt. Hell, I'd settle for a day. But it never was like a supercheese episode of Happy Days for most of us, was it? (Ooh! Like the "Fonz-jumps-a-shark" episode! That would be a kickass day to have.) Unfortunately my Cool Kid Status didn't kick in until my 20's. Or 30's. OK, never. So I was always nerdy, so sue me. High school and teenagehood was a huge slice-o'lame cake with a side of boredom frosting and geek sprinkles. (Side note: must scout out- and possible kill for- cake. Now. Right now.) But whatevs. There's nothing like a healthy dose of repressing your feelings (and probably Miller High Life) that cures what ails ya, amiright?!


This totally incred Vintage 50's Rock & Roll Dancin' Teens & Records Print Skirt, on Etsy from seller Wear It Again:

If you need me, I'll be moping in my room listening to Wham! records and hoarding the Hubba Bubba. Lip Smackers and puffy unicorn stickers may be involved, it's gonna be a long night.

  1. I take your Wham and Unicorn sticker reference and up you on giant teased hair-do and a pair of hot pink jellies.

  2. I refuse to believe you weren't always the coolest. Anyone with geek sprinkles is a fabulous goddess in my book.

  3. That is a very cute skirt, I'm perhaps a little long in the tooth for a teen theme skirt though ;o)

    My teenage years were lame too I don't think there were many cool kids, just a sprinkling and where are they now eh? Where are they now? Bitter me? no......
