Reacting To My Old Lewks

Hey Babes! 

Do you ever look back at old photos of yourself and lose ten pounds from extreme cringe sweats? There is a not so new trend going around this year, where people react to their old videos and photos from ten years ago. Today, I will be reacting to some of my most ~ iconic~ lewks from the past ten years. 

If you didn’t wear a Hollister & Co. tank with a solid t-shirt underneath did you really live in 2009? Yikes! 

I wore this Bloomsburg University hoodie at least once a week when I was in 9th grade. I’m not sure why I thought that was cool, but truly I wore this once a week, with leggings and UGGs. Can you say influencer? 

I have such a visceral and adverse reaction to zebra print now, because of how frequently I wore this heinous print in the 2010’s. Whoever said a skinny zebra print scarf was a look, lied to me. 

This picture is so embarrassing for my soul. That plaid shirt was from Miley Cyrus’s collaboration with Max Azria and Walmart and I fucking lived in that shirt. Of course I am wearing thin leggings as pants and that beanie is horrendous. Who did I think I was? 

Truthfully, at the time I loved this tribal print high low dress. It was so out of my comfort zone and I just adored that dress and wore it to my high school graduation party. But, no it’s not a lewk at all. 

During my freshman year of college, I went through a preppy phase. I never quite ventured into Lilly Pulitzer or J Crew, but I dabbled in Vineyard Vines and I had enough statement necklaces that I could have filled my own boutique with them. Anyway, this sweater was from American Eagle and I owned it in every color. 

This cami from American Eagle became one of my favorite pieces in my wardrobe until I discovered Free People slips. I wore this thing until it quite literally fell apart. I actually really like these looks, and I feel like I’d still wear them today. 

I really got into layering during the spring semester of my Sophomore year. I teetered between slowly becoming boho and still wearing spirit jerseys and Sperry’s. With that said, I’d like to welcome the Free People thermal to the chat. I lived in these until they were tattered and stretched out. This shirt was so fucking expensive and I had it in almost every color it came in. I think it was around sixty eight bucks for one. Who was I? 

I must say, that even though there is a lot going on here, I love this outfit minus the hat because everyone knows that I don’t look good in hats. I was sweating my balls off when Laura and I took these photos. 

Can you even see me under all of those layers? That was my thing then, and truthfully people complimented me on my outfits and now looking at it, I just know that there is no way I was comfortable. I had to be sweating to death. I’m sweating looking at it. 

Whew, what a blast from the past? Are your previous looks as cringe worthy as mine? Let me know!
