For fun which trends did you have at school

[Whatnamechange]

I was thinking last night about all the different trends we had at school and how they are nothing compared to today's (iPhones pandora bracelets etc). To start off a few that I can remeber from my school days , naf co 54 coats ( nasty and cheap looking but cost a fortune) every other person in the school que had one.
Plastic dummies worn as necklaces (weird one that)
bleached fringes so ugly but we thought we looked great.
Light up trainers
all of which got banned after a while .

Body Shop White Musk, and Strawberry Body Wash

Never heard of Constance Carroll. Bourjois blusher in the original cardboard boxes.

Kissing Potion roll on lipgloss in primary school.

those wash in wash out hair dyes, in a sachet.

tying your shirt in a knot in the front.
brogues, mine were wine coloured.
jeans that had a pinstripe in them (yuck)

I actually did a school trend thing lately. I had an old pair of jeans so made a "jean bag" that were all the rage in my school for a while. like <a class="break-all" href="http://www.google.co.uk/imgres?imgurl=candmdesigns.com/Garments/BAGS/jean_bag-back.jpg&imgrefurl=candmdesigns.com/Pages/jean_bags_page.htm&usg=__bPtyqO9ObJaytaqnXBt0FC00-0I=&h=400&w=533&sz=19&hl=en&start=0&zoom=1&tbnid=6I2uDlZX447yWM:&tbnh=116&tbnw=152&ei=8XpZTb3_OoS2hQf1nNTVDA&prev=/images%3Fq%3Djean%2Bbag%26hl%3Den%26client%3Dfirefox-a%26hs%3DRlj%26sa%3DX%26rls%3Dorg.mozilla:en-US:official%26biw%3D1680%26bih%3D857%26tbs%3Disch:1%26prmd%3Divns&itbs=1&iact=hc&vpx=115&vpy=219&dur=3483&hovh=194&hovw=259&tx=112&ty=80&oei=8XpZTb3_OoS2hQf1nNTVDA&page=1&ndsp=50&ved=1t:429,r:10,s:0" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">thisDecorated it with a scarf and some ribbons badges etc and voila a handy nappy bag with pockets.
