    you owned one of those purse bags with the wooden handle and the outside was interchangeable. You were super cool if the wooden handles were smaller and the outside material was plaid.

    you matched your shoe laces to your belt and hair clips, and possibly lip gloss tote

    you wore your polo type shirt collar up under a button down

    you made big hair with hair spray and a dryer in high school
