1. Nixon watches
The brighter the color, the higher you were on the social hierarchy.
2. White Echo shoesÂ
3. Puka necklaces
Â
Which ideally would have originally belonged to your current amiguito, and he gave it to you so your whole school knew you were steady.
4. White Costa del Mar sunglasses with blue lenses
5. Headbands with crystals, bows or feathers on them
“If Blair Waldorf could pull them off, so could I!” –All of us in 2008. We didn’t.
6. Wide waist belts
Kim Kardashian, a pioneer of the Heavyweight-Champion-gone-clubbing look we all wore to our school dances.
7. Vests
8. Blue eyeshadow
From the era before Instagram beauty bloggers and proper blending techniques.
9. Empire waist babydoll dresses
10. Fedoras
For when you wanted to look fedorable.
11. Slouchy beanies
Â
 Because you were adorkable, quirky, and not like other girls.Â
12. Happy Bunny tshirts
No one captured your sass and wit quite like this cartoon bunny.
13. Really heavy eyeliner
Â
14. Silly Bandz
15. Apple Bottom jeans…
16. …and boots with the fur
Who decided it was OK to wear these–as fashion–in Puerto Rican climate? WHO?!
17. Crocs with Jibbitz
18. Brightly colored polo shirts from Lacoste or American Eagle
19. Acid wash jeans
20. Long chain necklaces
Again, Kim Kardashian is to blame here.
21. Cut-out one-piece swimsuits, and tankinis
22. Of course, you also needed your gear. To upload all those fire selfies to MySpace, you needed a Nikon Coolpix
“Waoo ke b3lla aMiigAh tqm cdt d3jam3 1 c0mMen+  xD”
23. If you were a texting machine, you definitely had a T-Mobile Sidekick
24. If you were more of a classic cool, you had a Motorola Razr
25. Which you filled with your favorite songs to set as your ringtone
Yes, this isn’t a Razr, but it’s the thought that counts.
26. But if you were a true avant gardeist, you were one of the few who already had an iPhone in 2008.
The first iPhones didn’t even take video; remember the good ol’ days?
