It is weird to see some of the clothes our parents wore coming back into style. When we look at pictures of our parents when they were our age we think about how ridiculous they looked and how goofy they dressed. And it is funny because we tend to think that one day when we have kids they won't feel the same way. The way we dress seems normal and timeless, but I'm sure that our parents probably felt that way too. So when tights came back into style it seemed like just the beginning of a fashion come back.

My freshman and sophomore year and even now tights were the thing to wear. It didn't matter what you wore, tights went with the outfit. The other day a girl in my sorority came over with dressy jeans shorts on and she had tights under them. No one questions tights anymore. They seem to be acceptable in any and every form they are worn in. When they first were ‘cool', we wore them under our jean skirts because there was a dress code so we could get away with wearing really tiny skirts because the rest of our legs were covered. We would see so many different kinds and styles too. Most of them were black at first, but then they started making colored tights and tights that stopped above the ankle and had lace on them. My favorite pair was a grey pair with lace around the bottom that I would wear under my jeans with a cute polo.

Regardless of what the current style is, whether it is wearing tights under everything or even with nothing over them (which you see a lot too) or UGG boots or last year scarves were really popular even though they weren't necessary, it is funny to see how fast things catch on and spread. Right now the front of your hair on one side in a braid is really in and you see people everywhere doing it. I go to school in Muncie, Indiana and I went to visit a friend who goes to school in Champaign, Illinois last weekend and I saw people walking around with heir hair like that. It is just so crazy to see how far people will go to look like someone that probably was trying to look like an individual in the first place.
