Childhood Fashion Icons

While perusing my J. Crew catalog the other evening (that travesty is another post altogether- BOLO in next couple days for it), I started thinking about my childhood fashion icons.  Or rather, I suppose in today's parlance, my tween fashion icons.  After moving past Rainbow Brite as my muse, I desired to be the most fashionable 10 year-old in my class, emulating these lovely ladies.

 Clarissa

Can I tell you how much I wanted a phone like hers? Covered in junk, it was my dream phone in 4th or 5th grade.  I tried making one like it to no avail.  However, I rocked that look in the top right hand corner, sometimes with 3(!) layers of scrunched socks in various colors.

So fashion forward.

Next up is Blossom (rather more specifically I was into Six- she was much more me). And yes, I wore hats.

The bike shorts- yeah, there were a lot of those in the preteen Spice and Sass closet.

And finally the ultimate-

Lisa Turtle

Yeah, she's short, sassy, and still one of my style icons.  I mean hike up my rehearsal dinner dress about six inches, and it's a Lisa masterpiece-

I was never a Jessie girl for obvious reasons (too many button-ups and strident), nor Kelly (seemed fake nice and selfish, plus has Felicity/Joey Potter syndrome, aka whining about how many boys like you),  Lisa was my girl.  Am I alone?  Who was your Saved By the Bell alter ego?  I won't judge if it's Kelly (pinky swear!), because if you can rock too many boys liking you through your awkward stage, more power to you!

Do you think it's posts like these that make Hubs say my blog is kind of middle-school girlish?
