Hi Everyone! This is Chandler, and I will be joining the FreeCCM team for the summer. I will keep you up-to-date with giveaways, contests, and the artists you love!
This week we’ve got a great giveaway from MercyMe. Have you been looking for an update to your summer wardrobe? How about this The Generous Mr. Lovewell T-Shirt?
You will definitely be stylish when you’re wearing this, but I think everyone can remember a time when an outfit theythought was great turned out to be a total disaster! Mine was a favorite pair of embroidered overalls from middle school. I don’t think they were ever as cool as I hoped. Comment on this post with a description of your funniest outfit choice for a chance to win this shirt and a copy of The Generous Mr. Lovewell CD!
Contest is closed! A winner has been chosen. Congratulations!
That would definitely be the garish MC Hammer style parachute pants I made for myself when I was in elementary school.
When I was a freshmen in high school I had different "Iron Maiden" shirts for every day of the week! Also remember having a few pairs of parachute pants too...
probably would be a long dress--years ago.
In junior high we did a program with the song Aquarius in it. There were two long aisles we were to dance down to the stage in pairs. I had a snakeskin design outfit with a black choker necklace with a gold piece about the size of a fifty cent piece dangling from it.
I wore lime green shorts under a white skirt in elementary school so that I could play with some modesty on the bars during recess. It rained that day and the white skirt got wet so the green shorts were glowing underneath. It was a dead giveaway that I had shorts on under my skirt, which I was not supposed to do!
When I was young, I always liked making my own Halloween costumes. Looking back at pictures isn't always fun as there are a few where I was literally dressed in construction paper that was taped together to make a complete suit to look like a dog. (There WERE street clothes on underneath!) An empty toilet paper tube made a great nose.
I wore a caveman outfit on a dare but then wore it again and again for the kicks
Cowboy boots with shorts... why would my mom ever let me dress like that?
coyboy boots and shorts... Why did my mom ever let me leave the house like that?
In High School, I wore this cordaroy suit that was very green, and plaid. There were bright yellow, orange, red and lime patterns in the pattern. The pants were with huge bellbottoms, the coat was long styled. I wore one of those polyester shirts that was a blur of red, orange. To top it off, I had these addidas sneakers, also green with neon yellow stripes. I had attended a school awards banquet, with both students and parents present. I received one of the awards, and had my picture taken with my parents, both dressed conservatively. Our pictures were in the next days newspaper, fortunately in Black and White. I do not know if mom kept a copy of that photo...
I'm pretty sure mine was the royal blue pair of satin pants i had with the matching tie. UGH!
i wore tide die skinny's to high school twice one year i cant believe i did that now i have them in a box and i dont plan to wear them again haha
Had to be the regular denim jeans and we would tight roll the bottoms with penny loafers. Ug-ga-lee. But I was cool :)
my worst outfit would probably be the time i let like 100 kids draw on my shirt, i also happened to be wearing that shirt at the same time... :)
mine would be a pair of white pants with pockets down the side and gold buttons, i dont know how to describe it and it might not sound that bad but it looks like i might as well find a matching straight-jacket to go with it :)
The outfit that comes to mind were gold/green crushed velvet pants. "Everyone" had them so I had to have some, too. I cringe now just thinking of those pants!
Kahkis, polo shirt...and tennis shoes! looked fine to me, but my parents sure didn't like it.
Yellow skinny jeans...good thing I never left the dressing room :)
Can't forget the day I wore a dress on Field Day. All the other kids made fun of me & I ran home crying...
My parents didn't like it when I wore khakis with a button down shirt with a men's skinny tie. Thought I should dress more like a girl. Being a tomboy, I liked my way better.
my mom was being nice and bought me some running shorts. the only problem is that they ended up being short cargo pants that go up to the middle of my calves, and I'm a guy!
In high school, i had this great pair of purple parachute pants (inspired by both mc hammer and the joker).
when i was in middle school, i always thought my looonng P.E. shorts and shirts were awesome to wear throughout the school time :)
I LOVE MERCYME
I'm not sure it would be classed as a disaster, but it could have been. I was playing the bagpipes at church one weekend and needed to take a bathroom break before I played. I was, of course, wearing a kilt and was about to do what I needed to when my kilt pin dropped into the drink. After delicately fishing it out and drying things off as best I could, I put myself back together and wowed the crowd with Be Thou My Vision to the glory of God!
In the 7th grade my cousin dressed me as Pippi Longstockings for a Halloween party. No one knew who I was for a very long time! I just thought I would be a creepy girl for the party but I was the "new cute girl" that everyone was asking about.....yikes. So much for trying drag for Halloween.
It looks like a lovely T but Iron was probably cold.
As a child living in South Africa I was used to just having shorts on and enjoying the moderate temps of Port Elizabeth. My family was set for a weekend church retreat and I grabbed a jacket and wnet merrily on my way not thinking that my mom did not pack a t-shirt. She did not because she had told me earlier to pack a bag - which I had forgotten to do in the midst of the 9 or 10 year old playing - you know the kind that you immerse yourself in totally. Anyway I had only a pair of shorts, underwear, shoes and a jacket the whole weekend. I think there are som pictures of me over the course of the weekend and everyone has on a new outfit from day to day but I remained static in my outfit. Classic.
Had to be the large paisley print bell-bottom jeans from junior high. I look back on those pictures and am horrified that I would put such a horrible thing on! ROFL!!!
"Bill Cosby meets Saved by the Bell" style sweater, light denim jeans, high top tennis shoes, foofy hair = school picture day in kindergarten.
I once wore white shorts and pink underwear....not a good idea
white pants with strawberry prints all over
Mine was a pair of RED GLITTER pants! I usually wore them with platform black tennis shoes with a black tee shirt. It was the era of girl power and of course tons and tons of glitter! So embarrassing! =P
Greetings to all & GOD be with you all. I can remember when a pair of forest green "plaid/polyester" slacks, with a mint green button down long sleeve shirt. I was STYLIN when I was 7 or 8 yrs. old...LOL
I used to brush my naturally curly hair which resulted in a huge afro. I would take a step & then my hair would take a step. It was a disaster. In 7th grade, I discovered mousse & my world changed for the better.
When I was in probably about eight or nine, I went all out for Valentine's day. Everything I wore was pink... and all different shades of pink too! Pink shirt, pink capri pants, pink tights, pink shoes. It was horrendous!
In junior high, I once went to class in shorts and wore socks pulled all the way up to my knees. When my entrance caused the class to break out in laughter, I realized my faux pas.
The suspenders that I wore with everything that I thought were sooo cool, but not so much looking back now.
Two come to mind - both were middle school disasters. The first - a purple bodysuit and some sort of wrap around pants my mom made for me. The pants were very wide and made from a ruler ( as is measuring) print. The second was a cute black skirt that I decided to pair with an orange blouse and ORANGE tights. It was not even near Halloween!
Okay, I got one! Now I'm a guy not trying to be cool or anything but when I was 14 yrs old I had my mom purchase me a leather boot that had a 4" high heel platform; cause that was the style in the 70's. My 1st day back @ school I used the boot w/ red pants; I thought I looked cool for about 15 minutes. Instead, I looked like a chopsticks on stilts . I could not change my clothes so I had to go through the whole day wearing my circus outfit. How embarrasing was that!
I had a blue silk shirt and a pair of red suspenders....and I wore them together on purpose....Why?
I had a pair of leather parachute pants in high school. Yikes!
When I was in the third grade I wore my pajama top to school. When I got to class that is when I noticed it.
For some reason when i was in middle school i thought that it would be okay to where my (Female) cousins Backstreet Boys shirt quite often. I guess i didnt think that they were only cool at the time to the girls because they were uhhh attractive, I thought I was hot stuff, the funny part I didnt know a single Backstreet boys song glad i out lived that.
Do 80's hair-do's count? Cause I have a few of those to tell about. YIKES!
Oh my! This brought back a memory I had stashed WAY back in the brain. I went through a very brief "cowgirl" stage in my teens. Nice leather belt with my name embossed on the back (ugh) - wrangler jeans, cowboy boots . . . but the highlight was the shirt. It was a woman's western "bib" style shirt in a red/pink solid color. see example - http://tradergrizz.com/Ir-3002-art.jpg I thought I was one cute little cowgirl - I can only imagine how I really looked!
Lets see... A veggie tales tie! it is all red with the face of bob the tomato. it was a gift and i wore it once.
On a cool spring morning back in high school I decided to wear comfy corduroy pants. Little did I know that the weather would drastically change and heat up. Note to self...corduroy not the best for breathability!!
These stories are so sad. : )
