What would your High School self think about your style today?

My HS self would be very impressed with my current self.
I was kinda frumpy in HS because my mom is very conservative and never knew or liked current styles, so therefore I was never dressing with current trends.

Today, at almost 51, I very much know the current trends and I do dress in style in an age appropriate manner. One of my favorite compliments from DD19 was when she told me how she loves that I dress in style without trying to look like her and her friends. Since I know the styles, I’m able to have fun shopping with DD19 and have fun buying her new things. I also make sure I keep up with current music, so her and I can enjoy that together too. I love my 80s music and The Frank Sinatra Channel, but that doesn’t mean I can’t enjoy todays music too - I don’t want to be that mom that has no idea who’s performing at half time at the Super Bowl - LOL!
 
SHOCKED that I would willingly wear white socks, that I wouldn't care if my bra strap accidently showed, that I don't have a pair of tennis shoes in every color so that my shoes matched my outfit, that I don't wear lots of jewelry, that I don't change my purse regularly and that I mostly use a wallet purse as opposed to a over the arm piece of luggage.
 
I think as a guy, we don’t really change our style to begin with. The exception being if there is a dress code for work.
This, and it's not even a style. It's just clothes to me. The same clothes if they get stained turns into the work clothes.
 

I knew who I was then and I know who I am now. I.E. nothing has changed.

I'm a t shirt and jeans girl. Always have been, always will be.
 
It really hasn't changed that much. I don't dress up as often as I used to so the more over-the-top Goth stuff is long gone, but the everyday wear of jeans, tees, Chucks and Docs are pretty much the same. I think my high school self would be impressed that I followed a career path that didn't force me into the skirt-and-blazer mold of the professional women I knew growing up.
 
My high school self would be happy that I don’t tease our hair anymore, our eyebrows are reeled in, and that the braces are gone🤣 In terms of style, it is still the same. Jeans and heeled shoes, lots of sweaters, and we still have an extensive shoe/sneaker collection and on weekends, comfy clothes and baseball hats are the way to go.
