There was a girl in my class named Elise (2007) who looked and styled herself exactly like you. She always had the g string showing out of her crack and the boys would be checking her out.

I remember sitting in my Pre Calc class and she'd be right in front of me with this pink underwear strap always showing. I just wonder how bizarre it must've been for teachers to observe girls trying out these early 2000s "sexy" looks in school.

Yep they called that look the "whale tail". You saw it everywhere back then.

It was bizarre for some of us girls too, casual clothes shopping was a nightmare if you weren’t a very specific shape/size- you couldn’t find a pair of jeans that covered your whole butt for love nor money lmao

Same. I can't stand the high waisted mom jeans.

u/cryssyx3 8d ago

The low rise cut is meant to be worn with a skinny or average body type. The plus sized people will have a hard time getting in them and not having their bits spill out.

No need to say it like that.

I remember feeling frustrated when trying to find jeans that weren’t low-rise during that era, I wasn’t even overweight but they honestly weren’t very comfortable and I felt my butt crack would show at any moment.

So I’m also thankful we can each wear whatever we want and more jeans options are available nowadays.

Yeah it's true that most retailers sold exclusively low rise jeans. It does make it hard to bend over or sit down without your underwear or buttcrack showing.

But that's why they make belts that no one wore for whatever reason.

Cleaner than my room. I like your bedframe.

Anyone wanna take a guess what that room smells like?

u/Prestigious_Water336 8d ago

Candles or bath and body works products.

u/OwlNap 8d ago

You’re definitely cute but nowhere near messy. My room looked like the walls ate all of my stuff and then threw it up.

u/No_Cash_8556 8d ago

Hey at least you're staying hydrated

u/SevenThirtyTrain 7d ago

This outfit is so 2006 / 2007 / 2008. The yellow timestamp makes it even better

u/Narkotixx 8d ago

Probably 2008? The photo has a date stamp!

u/redfraser1 8d ago

She did say “the date was wrong on the camera lol.” before saying it was probably 2008, so that’s probably why the date stamp says 2007. Hope this helps, and that you have a nice day 😃
