I guess I regret when I was trying to dress for my boyfriend rather than what I liked to wear.   I will never dress a certain way for a man again.

I regret my orange tan phase thanks to the tanning trend of the 2000s. I caked my face until I looked like an oompa loompa and fried the shit out of my skin. Honestly maybe that's y ppl think I'm older than I actually am - bcoz I didn't wear sunscreen =.= ...I've learned my lesson now

When I became an edgy 12 year old, I trashed all my Justice clothes and all the cute dresses my mom bought me that I'd still fit into today.


I started to dress more like a middle-aged person; long shorts, plain shirt, and bland shoes.

I'm 21 now, trying to find clothes that look like the ones I trashed years ago.

I regret my alt phase. with how I naturally look, I just could it pull it off. And my mom wasn't the most supportive of this phase so I didn't get a whole lot when it came to that. I had the basics, doc martins, hot topic jewelry, and the black and white stripped shirt. This happened during the pandemic to so luckily I didn't go to school dressed like that. A very short lived phase of mine.

Up until I was like, twelve, I did not care at all about fashion at all, so all my "outfits" were basically a pair of tights and an ugly af shirt I bought from the kids section at any fast fashion store

My "not caring"  phase in high school.

I had unkempt, waist length hair, and wore either a glossy, black trench coat or a beat-up old bomber jacket.

I WISH I would have had more fun with my fashion. Clothing and accessorizing is something I enjoy so much now.

I had a VSCO girl phase, although I regret it it slowly formed into satire. I also had a phase where all I would wear are short jeans. And I hated that phase.

Up until the 9th grade I had this thing where I'd just be in a hoodie and jeggings and that was literally the worst time of my life, I wish I at least started asking for bigger jeans and fun sweaters. I still don't experiment much but that's on not being able to afford it but in the summer I'm really looking to expand my wardrobe.

When I was like 12-13 I had a horrible "alt" phase :'(

It was so bad that it hurts to look back... not only did I look like I just crawled out of a landfill, but the 'community' I involved myself in was so toxic X_X. They were always promoting mental illness and drug abuse, and were just really mean, judgmental, and liked to argue all the time. 

Some of the outfits were ok.. the problem was mostly when I tried to make my own clothes. I destroyed a lot of perfectly good stuff trying to make it 'edgy'. I even got THE Demonias, I still think they are cool but I don't wear them anymore :/

Luckily now I've learned to chill and not take everything so seriously...(like flag discours wtf was that omg?) but tbh I still think those bunny hats were cute af - I would still wear them if they didn't have the stigma. I'm already trans so I don't need to give people more reasons to think I'm an "uwu trans bean", and I think my style now feels better and represents me in a more positive light :))

i went through a phase of burnout and depression. its not like its gotten much better but ive stopped worrying about school and its done wonders for me. ive reclaimed my ability to draw and my love for fashion. i remember desperately wanting to dress up like a bunny hat kid during 2020 when e-kid fashion got really popular. unfortunately i missed the window and im still very upset about it. i dress e-kid now anyway, but i'll probably never get to join in like i could have in 2020

Mostly wearing high-femme, uncomfortable, and light clothing I did not like because otherwise, people treat me as a pest in whatever area I was in. Now I just do what I want, the world doesn't belong to them and I don't care if they don't like me, cause that's their problem, not mine.

The classic alt/emo phase. I’m not saying the style is bad, it’s just the way I did it was SUPER tacky and cringe :/

My 2017-2019 "alt phase" (I've always been alternative, but this phase in particular I hate). it was experimental but adjusting my style to the school dress code was the worst, I couldn't wear anything I really wanted to wear so I always looked like a big mess.

can't say I've had anything that could be considered a true phase but I do regret in general trying to be conventionally pretty. I've always been kind of a tomboy but also really liked girly girl stuff so it's always been difficult to pinpoint my style, and developing body dysmorphia at 14 plus some trauma responses made me slowly descend into a madness of trying to look, feel and be perceived as a "beautiful woman" despite everyone thinking I'm 10 years younger than I am lol. it took getting inappropriate comments from older men to snap me back into my old self. I'm trading all my tight egirl clothes for frumpy baggy boyish clothes and chopping my long hair off again :D
