Had to laugh. It made me think back to "the good old days". I owned a pair of neon pink shorts and a neon green hypercolor shirt! how embarrasing.

Sweet! I had a puffy paint sweater just like that! I remember it was a huge deal, because we went to the mall and I 'designed' my own (more like filling in the blanks) and then at the store they put my sweater in a centrifuge so the puffy paint made cool sun burst lines... I had hearts that looked like mini suns. I was so proud! :)
