Small Talk Six: 2 Belts, 10 Bracelets, and 4 Scrunchy Socks?

smalltalksix-298x300Want to join in? Go here to learn how and to view the weekly Small Talk Six topics for 2010.

Today’s topic is “6 pieces of clothing or accessories you’ve owned, loved, and wished would come back in style.” You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences, 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc . . .

This list was tougher to finish than I thought it would be.  Did anyone else find that to be true?

Here are my six for this week:

1) Do you remember layering different color socks and then scrunching them down?  Well, I don’t miss wearing more than one pair of socks at once, but I do miss those cuddly scrunchy socks that were so puffy that they could fit over your pants.  Not sure I would wear them in public, but they are great for lounging.

2) Mens clothing for women.  I use to work for a men’s retailer, so I would buy men’s sweaters, shirts, and jeans to wear all the time.

3) Platform sneakers!

4) Speaking of sneakers, I really loved my black crushed velvet Converse high tops. :D

5) Black choker necklaces with funky pendants.  I had a whole wardrobe of them.

6) I couldn’t think of a sixth item, so my husband suggested “jams”.  Do you remember those?  They were shorts.  I even made some in home economics class when I was 11 or 12 years old.  Am I the only one old enough to remember those?  :(

Now go post your own list on your blog (don’t forget to grab a button) and then leave the direct link to your post on Mr. Linky. Then go check out everyone else’s Small Talk Six lists and leave them a comment so they know you stopped by. If for some reason Mr. Linky isn’t there, just leave your links within a comment.

  1. I SO loved the chokers with the funkiy pendents… especially with rhinstones or marchasite… cool! And I used to love to wear scrunchie socks with tight acid wash jeans – plus a side pony tail. Boy weren’t we hot stuff??

  2. Katie says:

    This was tough for me too! I didn’t pick Converse since they really are back in style (and I LOVE them!)

  3. angie says:

    I loved my converse as well

  4. Brittney says:

    Coming up with 6 was a lil difficult for me as well! But the platform sneakers are so on my list! :) lol

  5. Daenel says:

    LOL Trish, I so remember wearing the different colored socks. I had totally forgotten about that! And the black chokers…LOL I was in to cameos. And *whispering* my husband had a pair of jams when we met in 1994 ~ I threw them away!

  6. Harriet says:

    I had trouble coming up with 6 items too. I should have mention hair scrunchies though.
    Have a great day!

  7. Oh I loved smooshie socks and black chokers with cool and funky pendants!

    And i remember jams. I also remember Hammer pants. My husband and I had matching pants with elastic waist and ankles…they always had very loud, bright prints on them. I can’t remember what they are called, but I think they started out for bodybuilders. They were ugly as hell but man were they comfy!

      I remember those pants! They were like break dancing pants. I never wore those, but I knew people who did. The closest thing to matching that my husband and I have worn were the same windbreakers, but in different colors. :P

  8. Susan Meyers says:

    I did find this a little harder than I thought it would be. I know I’m going to wake up in the middle of the night and think… why didn’t I put that!

    I loved the chokers too. I used to make my own with charms.

    God bless,
    Susan
