I wore a woman's antique fur jacket to my high school junior prom.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
My mom wouldn't let me buy clothes she didn't like, so I dressed like a middle-aged woman in high school.
For my prom I really wanted to wear a bright color - something that was going to pop and stand out.
When I got into junior high school, that's when my mom let me dress how I wanted to dress. Up to that point I wore suits to school all the time.
My first day of high school, I wore brown boys' corduroys that my mom had sewn Sesame Street elastic into - they were my coolest pants - and a lime green Patagonia fleece that my mom found at Goodwill. I loved fleece.
My mom dressed me in silk to go to elementary school. In kindergarten, they sent me home because I couldn't do finger painting in my dress.
I was a tough kid with the jeans, the concert shirt with the flannel over it, the comb in the back pocket and the feathered hair.
I wore a pink Betsey Johnson dress to my prom, and I pretty much looked like a pink cupcake. I loved that dress!
One of my favourite items is a very old jacket - it was my mum's uniform from when she was working 15 or 20 years ago.
For my prom, I wore a white suit with a burgundy shirt, tie and cummerbund, along with white shoes, a white trilby and a cane. I was extra fly that day.
I remember the feeling of a tweed Chanel jacket because my mom used to wear one to work.
