[h-cost] 2002-4 fashions
OK. I've resisted as long as I could. Of course I remember what I was wearing in 2002-4 because I'm still wearing it - and from much earlier too. It's probably heresy on a fashion-related list, but I refuse to wear some of the ugly junk that shows up in stores. It's expensive and frequently in ugly and unflattering colors. I quit trying to follow the trends and I stick with what looks good on me...or at least doesn't look too awful ;-) Julie ** Any of you ladies recall what you wore in the years 2002-4? I'm drawing pretty much of a blank. I'm costuming The Last 5 Years and it goes back in time 5 years. I know things haven't changed that much, but there have been some changes. For instance, I do remember wearing long straight and slightly a-lined skirts, alot of the latter made out of knits. I still have them. What else was popular that is different from today?

Re: [h-cost] 2002-4 fashions
I think it depends on where you were and what age group, but in South Carolina, college-aged girls were wearing sleeves that belled or ruffled out at the end, generally from a seam at the elbow or the forearm, or less often at the wrist. I concur that finding some magazines from that time would really help. Melanie Schuessler On Jul 3, 2007, at 9:48 AM, zelda crusher wrote: With thumbs poking thru a cut in the cuff.

Re: [h-cost] 2002-4 fashions
I remember pants that were a bit below the navel and fell down vertically in the back, with wide hems. Heels were less delicate than today, in 2002 I bought some boots with heels that appeared to be very thick seen from the back and thin from the side - I found them quite revolutionary. One extremely fashionable colleague of mine wore kitten heels that year, but I think they were available in regular shoe stores earliest 2004 or so (that´s when I bought some). 2002 was also the first year I remember ruffled pirate shirts and chemises, worn with pumps and cargo pants with lots of pockets and straps with D-rings. It looked like the wearer wanted to fix camping equipment to her pants. ;-) Mixing different clothing styles was a real art, like hooded training sweaters with dress pants... That´s what I remember from Hamburg, Germany. Hanna At 06:39 03.07.2007, you wrote: Any of you ladies recall what you wore in the years 2002-4? I'm drawing pretty much of a blank.

Oh yeah. You reminded me of the sweaters that flared out at the wrists. I still have one, but I hate not being able to roll up the sleeves when washing dishes.

re: [h-cost] 2002-4 fashions
Burda magazine might be helpful if you can find a library with back issues. There is an archive at http://www.burdamode.com but it only goes back to the start of 2004. To access the archive though you need to keep the page in german at the start, select magazine from the lefthand side which will display items under that cantegory. You want the Archiv von burda Modemagazin which is next to the picture composed of lots of magazine covers. This will bring up the list of all issues that are archived. I've just checked and it looks like 2004 is archived in german only but the pictures are there as are the Technische Zeichnung (technical drawings). The only problem with using burda is that some patterns show up in Burda before they do in mass ready to wear. I might be noticing that only because I'm living in Australia.

Re: [h-cost] 2002-4 fashions
I agree. There were a few years there where it was almost impossible for me to find attractive (in my eyes) shoes because the heels were either strange, as those already mentioned, or bent. Remember that look? Like it was too hot outside and your heel just kind of melted into a curve? And that style was really expensive! I haven't spoken up because I didn't like or didn't look good in the styles from 2002-04. Crop-tops and hip huggers aren't attractive on short/rounds. Neither are those cropped pants.

Sylvia Rognstad wrote: I still have them. What else was popular that is different from today? Beltlines are still below the navel today, but shirts are coming back down. I finally got used to the midriff baring style and last month when I went shopping I found all the shirts are about hip length, or longer. I seem to remember those ruffled and/or patchwork velvet skirts from several years back. Only they were never very full. Horrible mint green, brown and orange striped poly knit shirts. Babydoll lingerie tops. Thee was this whole 'back to the 70's' thing going on, but it was even uglier than the first time around. Lots of psychedelic colors like pink and green and orange, but too bright, a strange mix of drab and tacky. Lots of India-made trim on stuff, around the bottom of jeans, and on jackets. All the fabric coming into the stores seemed to have lycra in them. Necklaces made from fishing line with single pearls or jewels clamped every few inches. Very pale lipstick colors, and a return to a natural looking face. Glitter or reflective powder in a lot of makeup (and suddenly I'm allergic to cosmetics). Huge purses with lots of sequins and beads dangling all over them. Long, pointy toed shoes. Shoulder length hair. Men's clothing got very casual. My husband can wear jeans to work, and sneakers in a corporate environment. Hair is still short. After 04, women's hair got really short, and they started styling it so it sticks out in a little flip in the bottom. A year or two ago it seemed like every young blonde starlet looked the same. And then we started getting glitter and sequins on everything, and a lot more silky polyester type fabrics.

That's how I wear my hair now. That style has been in for a number of years. I think it was popularized by Meg Ryan. I keep wondering when it will go out. Maybe it already has for you coastal people, but here in Colorado it is still in and since it looks really good on me, I don't mind.
