This yellow Old Navy performance fleece was in a more recently stowed box in the attic, about 15 years ago. (As I said before, I found a ton of crap of my mom's from the early to mid 1980s over the weekend.)
I'm pretty sure this was the first thing I bought at Old Navy. It was either this, or flare jeans. Either way, all of the cool middle schoolers had performance fleece. I think it was probably the North Face of middle school in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
I mean, Old Navy even had a commercial jingle for it, so it was legit.
These things were so popular that I'm pretty sure this bright yellow was one of the only colors left in my size. I could never imagine my 11-year-old self digging this yellow number up as my first choice. Regardless, I can still remember wearing the hell out of this.
I guess this means I'll have to start scanning photos from my awkward middle school years, to see if I find any photos where I'm actually wearing it. I don't know if I ever took it off back then, so hopefully those photos won't be too hard to find. ;)
OMG, I forgot how hip and trendy these were! We all had one. Whatev, they were comfy.

Followed you back. Thanks!
DeleteSeeing that colour fleece just reminds me of the days at school when we didn't have to wear our uniform and could wear our own clothes. My mum would send me to school in a fleece like this, a handmedown, from I have no idea where and it would be terrible haha
ReplyDeleteSomedays I wish my school had uniforms. My mom dressed me in some of the ugliest get ups back then! Haha.
Deleteoh my gosh I love this. ohhhh the memories... Old Navy fleece was the best and most comfortable, I don't even care...i'd still wear one lol.
ReplyDeleteComfort is a key factor to consider when looking back at these. Mine actually might still fit, since I know I bought bulky stuff back then. Didn't even try it on.
DeleteI'll let you know if I find an extra in the attic. ;)
so funny! i remember people wearing these. sadly i was the 3rd girl in my family so i lived in the land of hand-me-downs so i never owned one! :(
