I found this DKNY Jeans ad in one of my old magazines and immediately realized every girl looked like a very specific person from school. 😂

These outfits look so odd today! Haha!

The funniest part is that none of this looked like a costume in 2002. This was just… fashion. The low-rise pants. The unnecessary belts. The tiny layers. The chandelier earrings. The aggressively specific personality each outfit seemed to communicate.

And somehow, looking at these now, I can tell you exactly who each girl was supposed to be. 😂

Which one were you?

I was definitely the Goodie Two Shoes trying to look cool and fit in but totally failing!
