its all about fashion baby!

We were having our usual dinner conversation last night and suddenly out came the past fashion hits ... or was it misses? :P Thanks to the Spice Girls, the platforms became a sudden hit. I'll admit at that period of my life, a pre-teen, they were and still remains to be one of the coolest pop girl groups around ... screw Sugarbabes, they have nothing compared to the Spice Girls.

Of course my mom didn't let me get those platform heels. I had the next best thing - platform shoes. It ranged from my very first Miss Sixty RED platform sandals which my mum also bought in blue. I still remember how happy i was and it was on sale at TANGS! ... gee looking back i wonder why. :P Then i had the striped black and white platform slippers that i absolutely loved. Not only did it make me taller, it was super comfy i think i wore it almost everywhere. I also remembered making my parents buy me this super hideous grey boots that at that time i was convinced were the best shoes ever from Sg. Wang. Yes, i was just as l-a-l-a-h-o-p back then. -_-" Sad to say, my parents were right and i never actually got to wear those boots - Malaysian weather so hot how to wear ?!? They just sat there in the box til we actually shifted coz i totally forgot about them.

I remember the next craze to hit after the Spice Girls decided to disband were crop tops - with thanks to the All Saints.

They were so cool with their short shirts and super baggy pants with runners. I think my parents were pretty horrified with me walking around with my belly button exposed ala Britney when she first came out. Maybe she got the idea from them too?

I remember i mostly bought those crop tops from a specific shop coz they had the best designs and i remember having one that was a mixture of an orange collar, blue sleeves and the rest was white. -_-" Too bad i can't wear those crop tops no more ... can u say jelly tummy ? LOL!
