The winner will recieve a junior high flashback gift package that includes: a bottle of Revlon's Charlie perfume, Bonne Bell chapstick, a Boyz II Men cd, and much more! You know you can't resist a prize package like that so go over to her blog and join in on the fun!

Here's mine:
Forgive me Karl Lagerfield for I have sinned. It has been 10 months* since my last confession...

In an effort to appear more sophisticated, in the eight grade, I ditched my coke bottle glasses (even though I couldn't see shit), traded my "brandy" braids for an "aaliyah" swoop, and started wearing dresses and skirts.

My favorite outfit that year was a faux silk blouse, underneath a burgundy corduroy jumper, which I paired with opaque burgundy tights and black mary janes that were polished at the beginning and end of each day. When I wore this outfit I thought I was FLY!

So fly that I wore it on picture day, two eighth grade dances, at least once a month to church (even though it was kinda short) and to a bar mitzvah in May (where I almost fainted due to the heat).

I finally stopped wearing the outfit but only because my mother donated the jumper to the salvation army and the shoes no longer fit. I will however, swear on a stack of Chanel suits that I would wear that outfit again if it gave me the same confidence I had in the eighth grade.

*I made up 10 months, I was raised Baptist so I've never confessed anything in my life=)

Editors Note The brandy and aaliyah were in quotes because my hair was no where near as put together as theirs.
