A few evenings ago, my Mom was watching Armageddon on her phone when she came over. (I added her to my Netflix account so she could watch movies). She was watching the tail end of it and as the credits rolled, Aerosmith begin to play. I am mediately transported back to the summer before my junior year of high school. I had just gotten the newest Victoria’s Secret lotion. The one that had a shimmer to it.
As I heard the opening bars of the song, I recalled a time that I walked to my friend Natalie‘s house. I had the cutest tank top on that was cotton and buttoned all the way down the front. It had a green and brown plaid pattern. I had a pair of darker jean shorts that didn’t have any pockets in the back and two small U-shaped patch pockets in the front. I absolutely loved that outfit!
What I loved the most about it will definitely show my age but I wore it with a pair of brown chunky heeled sandals that buckled in the back. I remembered humming this song as I walked with my arms, shoulders, and legs shimmering in the sun from my lotion. I haven’t thought about those sandals or that lotion in a very long time but ever since hearing that song, I can’t get them out of my head!
The really cute tank top, the shorts, the shoes, the lotion, and this song!:
The memory of this outfit that went along with this song didn’t even get me depressed that I was WALKING to my friend’s house. It DEFINITELY was a lifetime ago but I appreciated hearing this song and remembering my life back then.
