Ah, 2009. The Black Eyed Peas were still together, Nigahiga was the most subscribed TH-camr, our parents hadn’t found out about Facebook yet, and I was just about to enter middle school, aka the most awkward years of my life. Join me for a fashion journey through late 2000s and early 2010s memories, from dougieying at bat mitzvahs to diy t-shirts to Abercrombie and Aerie logos to side swept bangs to a time before fedoras were cringey, as I review my style evolution.

Alicia Moore right!
2009-"When the 13 year olds were actually ugly as hell and didn't look hotter than me"
THIS IS SO ACCURATE IT HURTS!!1!
Sooooo true....I was born in 1980 and we were all still just awkward kids at that age. Or if a girl wasn’t, she would really stand out....
idon'tknowhowtonamethis 1000th like😎
I’m 13 and still fit in that category
Exactlyy 😂
leslie Lmao, there was a girl in my 6th grade class that had busts bigger than the moon and was tall as Frick... And I was short and tiny.. Fun stuff..
Edit: I still am short.
"A time before tiktok where 13 year olds where actually ugly as hell"
Words of gold😂👌
@@sophg4864 at my school people just wear sweats and no one really dresses up, we just all look like a mess
@@im0ez that’s America tho. Most countries ppl wear actual clothes
@@ememememem592 I live in canada
Lol yeah every girl under 6th tried so hard yo look cool- trust me my class actually tries on there outfits or didn’t even try there are no inbetweens😀
@@ememememem592 not mine
Omg make the “rawr.” Shirt into merch, I would buy it
fiona omg yes!! hope she sees this
SAME!
$@^^3
fiona Yesss Pleeease
same :D
i feel like all fashion girls went through a “i don’t like fashion, i’m not like other girls” phase and well,,,, the irony of it all
Miriam Toucedo i was actually about to go through that phase but r/imnotlikeothergirls made me stop
felt this ahahah
coffe maker i never experienced the joys of reddit, so my comment was ~strongly~ based on personal experience
@@user-wc1ue6qe9v omg yes.
me
Me: wants to have 21 year old Ashley's wardrobe
Me actually: has middle school Ashley's wardrobe
LITERALLY THE MOST ACCURATE COMMENT 😂😂😂😭
🤣🤣🤣
just wait a few years and itll evolve lol
Ashley OMG RELATE
this is too accurate lol
so including me all the Asian girls have either that hair cut or realllllllly long hair. the Asian boys all have bowl cuts..
Or the boys have buzz cuts
Strawberryie Milky apparently she did actually have a bowl cut once oop-
I had a inbetween basically I let my hair grow out for as long as possible then my mom would made me get that haircut again
Actually im asian and i dont have any of those (horrible) haircuts
Yes I had and still have very long hair
I was so confused seeing a sun say rawr but when she explained it I was like lion where??
Same
It was the mane of the lion
Same I taught it was the sun at first
Love how Ashley's aesthetic sensibilities describe the DORA haircut as the ANNA WINTOUR haircut 😂
I wouldve said Dora 100%, I guess that showcases my lack of such sensibilities 😅
We have the same last name
- Simplicity same girl samee
Jenna Nguyen hi sister from a different mister
@@jennanguyen2693 it's a common vietnamese name right? I have a friend with the same name.
Ashley you HAVE to recreate these looks in a way that aligns with your current fashion.
YES. And the outfits from her old high school Cap Toe Flats blog. I would die in the best way
+
Maria ღ That’s a really good idea
yesss
i was going to comment the same thing lmao
For 8th grade you looked like a more asian version of the emo band member from lemonade mouth lmao
chicken fish taco davaney omg you mean haley kiyoko? i kinda see that!
I cant unsee
the funny thing is hayley kiyoko is half asian too lol
hayley kiyoko!!
less expresso more depresso same tho I was like why is the sun saying raw
Did all awkward kids have a designated zip up jacket for middle school because I relate 🥴.
Sad_clown_Clussy_hours nah I wore a bright neon yellow hoodie
hell yes
YEP
umm yes!
I wore (and keep wearing) this blue and gray oversized sweater
okay but I need your childhood custom t-shirt designs as merch
litterally went down to the comment secsion to say that! why does those drawings look sooo good?
omg YES
I actually believe that where really cool.
rawr
rawr.
middle school ashley’s t shirts are my remaining brain cells trying to write my thesis statement at 3am
lemon ghost :3 b L i M e Y
rawr.
Rawr.
Nobody:
Literally nobody:
Not even Jesus:
My last 2 brain cells: Rawr! Bitch Rawr!!!
blimey
Me: **cant remember what I had for breakfeast**
Her: **remembers every middle school brand of clothing she had**
Ikr 😂
Ashley: Look at all these cringeworthy outfits I wore to school
Me: Has worn a uniform since I was 3
Same, British schools😭
Yeaaah😂
I feel this on a spiritual level
Sameee
same tho
That was a lion? I thought it was the sun saying rawr
Hnin Ei HAHAA OMG SAME 😂
Lmao me too
Sameee
Saaaame
Same 🤣
Why did I think the lion on your shirt was actually the sun 😂😂
Jessy T haha yes same
I thought it was a sun for real-
Bc it looks exactly like a sun
Same hahaha
wait it's not the sun????!!
i'm so going to buy my kids $1 t-shirts and let them draw on it. that's genius.
It's so nice to see some carats around!
you go glen coco
And four for yourself, of course.
( And none for Gretchen Wieners, bye)
Have I found the theatre kids reply section
GLEN COCO GLEN COCO GLEN COCO
5:50 “the look i genuinely thought joe jonas was gonna see me wear and fall in love with me”
I-
WHEEZE-
I too wore fedoras in middle school. Vanessa Hudgens made them cool. You can't blame us.
thank god i wasn't alone
I had a light blue one 😖
And Demi Lovato! I used to wear them cause of her!
Purple one from Walmart and returned it the same day bc it was stupid
Yes omg the sneaker night music video!!
“The classic asian kid haircut”
Me: *thinks back to my mushroom head days*
Me: yeah that’s pretty accurate
I'm 21 and I still have this haircut.
Claire Li *cries in asian* we’ve all had that bowl cut :’)
That was me preschool thru 3rd grade lol
as a korean i had that when i was 8 so
Punny Puppy haha my bias is actually rose
I would 100% buy “rawr.” merch please Ashley
i wish you also showed pictures from high school where you were starting to get more fashionable. (like freshman and junior year)

„I bought everything that had navy and white stripes on it“
Today: Ashley buys everything that’s gingham
considering gingham is just extra vertical stripes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
YOU HAVE 1K LIKES!!!!
And corduroy lol
I thought the title said “recreating my ICONIC middle school outfits” so I was a bit scared
no one needs low rise pants back....
magnus seuss I heard they’re coming back. I’m not ready 😭
okay but now I want this
april fools video maybe?
Part 2
The eggs are Weebl and Bob. Weebl says “Blimey” in one of the series.
IntenseMagic I’m glad someone else here remembers Weebl and Bob @2:49
I was so confused for a second as to why a sun would be saying rawr-
DONT QUESTION ART
@@shreckschild1494 AS AN ARTIST MYSELF I SHALL NOT! ALSO WHY DOES THIS HAVE SO MANY LIKES OMG THANK YOU!?!?!?💛
@@buttermayojamz7645 YES YOU SHALL NOT! AND GOOD FOR YOUUUU(for getting alot of likes)
@@shreckschild1494 ahshshshd thank you so much this never happened before omg
@@buttermayojamz7645 :p
my middle school crush, of course, being the president of the united states, barack obama
Audrey Baxter 😍
why did I think Donald trump
Omg Baxter, are we somewhat related??
NAAAAAHHHHH
you my friend are a fat ass mood
unpopular opinion: i acc really like those drawn on t-shirts
Me too
actually I want to do it
Blimey
Yeah same
Especially the lion
i’ve never heard of anyone else having the yearly hoodie safety blanket thing 🥺 i totally did that
Same. I still hide in my hoodies. They’re just too comfortable.
5:58 I think the most 2000s detail is the fact that the photo is taken with flash.📸
can u please make the drawn on t-shirts merchandise. like, damn,
*rawr.*
Rawr
rAwR
blimey
edgy facts like i would honestly wear that
Ur pfp with *rawr* 😳
Ashley your childhood shirts need to be recreated FOR.YOUR.MERCH.LINE👏🏼
I'm pretty sure the egg one is a reference to the web series Weebl and Bob so she probably couldn't release that one for copyright reasons?
ARMY
I thought they were really cute
Yeeeees!!!
I like the rawr one 🙂
Omg the floral dress covered with a cardigan is literally me at 11😂
"Rawr."
-Ashley 2008
"It was $35 in 2012 money" girl i FELT that
Lux Williams I read this as she said it lol
You should do middle school inspired outfits, BUT in a modern, and trendy way
Tamara if she did this and also told us some middle school stories (embarrassing ones, funny ones, etc) i wOULD BE SO ON BOARD. I JUST LOVE THE IDEA OF good THROWBACK LOOKS
katherine omg YESSSS
this is actualy a great idea
444th like and 4th comment UwU
That would honestly be awesome
1:30 her hair is giving me strong dora vibes and im living for it x)
“here i am, slightly above average” gurl what u talking about?? you’re like a goddess of thrift shops and thrift flips and fashion in general
The drawings on your shirts are not cringey. You should make those merch.
Kate Desingano i want the eggs saying blimey
i agree
@@TBMDIYS That is the most epic shirt made on this earth
Memes
Kate Desingano honestly yes
If these childhood custom shirts aren’t apart of your merch then imma be hella upset dude
I used to hate fashion and always try to not dress really extra because I wanted to be EdGY, now I'm super into fashion and always tried to dress my best because I want to
Lily N. Same I used hate dresses and crop tops and now I’m the exact opposite lol
I hate my Life I know, dressing up have really help my self-confidence and i actually makes friend easier now than back when i hate wearing clothes that would actually make me look great and fit my body
I'm almost 21, and I still have some clothes I got when I was in middle school. My fashion was atrocious, but I was really experimenting and trying things out so I kind of admire anxious, 12-year-old-me for having the confidence to do that.
petition for ashley to make lion rawr and egg blimey merch :)
hey I’m a smaller TH-camr:))🦋
ahhahaha that would be hilarious :')
Weeble and bob are the egg cartoon they probably have merch
The egg, I’ve feel it on a personal level 😂
Iconic
Lion rawr and egg blimey merch. Please make these your mascots. I love them.
Like... posh Gudetama
No offense but that dress with the fedora looks like an outfit that when ur playing the sims your sim like gets before you change them (hey Ashley)
Isabella Mac tea lol ☕️
why is this so accurate
Your syntax is horrible, took me 4 tries to understand your comment
Camille oh no what an important matter.
LMAO
Can you make a video where react to your high school outfits? We need part two of the epic saga of Ashley's glo up
You in middle school: obsessed with barack obama
Me, 5 years old: obsessed with barack obama.
Im not joking i was obsessed 😂
Lmao when I was around three I was obsessed with dr Phil... Not even joking
5 year old stan lol
how dare my leftist self ever identify myself with a neolib 🤢🤢🤢
okay BUT I WANT THE LION SHIRT THAT SAYS rawr.
nAmJoOn-aH :D me too
💜
💜
Ashley merch omg
Ok but that outfit wasn’t bad at all like I would wear that shirt
No one:
Absolutely nobody:
Ashley: My middle school crush being, of course, the president of the United States, Barack Obama.
He was also my crush😍
Same thoigg
Nope never lmao
Jimin Daddy why lol?
He was my middle school crush too!!! And still kinda is but we’re not gonna talk about that..
Her:this is the iconic Asian haircut
Me: laughs in Asian and said haircut
SAME
Bro, when she was taking about the classic “Asian kid haircut”, I felt that. I legit had the same exact hairstyle and outfits lol.
I love Ashley and this video gives me hope that maybe, one day, I’ll glow up harder than Neville Longbottom
sarah matus i feel you haha
neville lmaooo
ashley gives me hope
HAHAHA neville is actual glow up goals!!!
Please read another book
5th grade ashley was on the *hydrodipped crocs* trend before anyone else
ashley: "i want this shirt from nordstrom"
"that will be 35 dollars"
ashley: "thats all?"
*evil cackle*
"2012 money"
Please re-create these looks in your current style! But the British eggs were an animated flash cartoon called Weebl & Bob! I used to watch them all the time in the early 2000s! And that being said, when I was in middle school a friend and I drew our own t-shirts, too, and we made one that said 'Remain Calm at the Disco.'
Waiter: "How would you like your eggs today?"
Ashley: "British. Blimey"
“In 2010 fashion was just logos” Lmao so accurate. I remember all the ‘cool girls’ wearing an Abercrombie hoodie and uggs
good thing I was in 2nd grade and no one even knew what fashion was at that time
“My middle school crush being - the president of the United States” 💀😭🤣
I firmly relate to heading to old navy every summer and getting a pair of $2 flip flops. such an iconic childhood memory
Can you recreate some of these looks with your now developed style?
That would be iconic
YES
You a genius dude! This would be fun to watch!
Can you pleaseeeee make your merch your middle school t shirts that you made
yes!!! i'll totally wear the sun saying rawr if it was a loose crop top
Paulawallaa is suppose to be a lion lmao
mil cadwell i’d whip out my credit card so fast to own absolutely anything with two eggs saying “blimey” on it
@@emmyramirez4619 I know that's the best part!! haha
I died at the “Anna-Wintour-haircut” 🤣🤣 love how you describe all the looks in a sophisticated way!
“And here’s where it gets a little- (ad starts) *VIOLENT SCREECHING*”
“In 2010 fashion for some reason was just logos” I gotta say not much has changed then
so nobody’s gonna talk about how gorgeous she looks in this video ? 🤷🏻♂️
YES PLEASE
Tri Tin Chung Bui IKR
@Tri She's always pretty you dumbass
InfiniteLoop you’re right 🤣
Okay but... “the rawr” t-shirt was so cute
Legit reaction to 6:18
"Is that me??"
Ashley, I swear, there are SEVERAL pictures of me looking like that in 8th grade, down to the same haircut and flower on the exact same side of my head
when you actually think about early 2000s fashion , these outfits weren’t too bad 💀💀💀
facts
To be fair I used to wear a SEQUINED SILVER FEDORA. I thought I was cool and “hip hop” lmao
My fedora was hot pink and black. It was a tweed pattern, too
*ME BEING SCARED BECAUSE I'M IN MIDDLE SCHOOL*
Me: welp im ready to look back at my cringey style this year
Same fam
2:00 I'm sorry but I thought it was a Sun saying rawr 😭😂😂😂 help I'm crying 😭😭 this is too cute--💕
That's a lion? I thought it was a sun saying rawr 😂😂
Alisha D. Same
@Spwinklez??
@@alisha_D Did the top comment steal your comment or did you steal theirs? Cause they have more likes and you don't.
Yeah you have stole it. You thought that if you did the same comment but add 2 😂 emojis u could get likes and not think ppl would notice its stolen?
Same lmao
"if i'm not wrong, this is like the classic Asian kid haircut"
...
* looks at baby picture
*
... yup
Elvira Lu At least you only had that when you were a baby. I had it until 6th grade like her 😓
i still have it rip
Me LAUGHS IN : my mother hates bangs 🤣
I’m a Latina and even I had that hairstyle up until 8th grade 😆
We all looked like Dora...
her shirt drawing skillz are lowkey on point
OH MY GOSH!! You just hit 2M!!! Not surprised but congrats!! You deserve it!! Keep doing your amazing work!!
You should do a video of recreating your outfits and making them stylish
+
Like if Ashley should make these drawn shirts as merch
Kate Li KATE OML HI
I hit all of those "trends" as a middle schooler as well- that was a real COUTURE back in the days
My middle school style about every day: T-shirt Shorts Hat and my glasses. Sometimes I’d add a jacket.
I legit thought that lion was a sun...
Really?!? I was the only one!!!!
You're not alone. I thought the same too. 🌞
Same 😅 I was like, hmm interesting choice. And knowing kids, especially at that time, I figured it was an intended “random” choice lol
I thought the yellow lion was a sun saying “rawr.”
SUR ME
Dawn /......so it wasn’t a sun........😆
Tfw I was entering my senior year of high school in 2009...
God, I feel old.
I'm 24 and back then in my middle school, we use to say "rawr." bc it means "i love you" in dinosaur language. Also, we also use to wear our shoes in creative lacing & try to arrange the lace in very different shoelace patterns. deff the side swept bangs were a in too! Gosh i feel like we were in the same middle school (however, I grew up in San Diego, CA). Idk how the trends traveled all the way to Maryland. Super cool tho! so many similarities!
every girl who was like 6-12 in 2010 had those goddamn camo capri pants
Erin Harvey yup 😂😱
YES! I USED TO THINK I WAS SO COOL TWINNING WITH MY DAD WITH THOSE DAMN CAMO PANTS!
I know they were a thing but being a chubby Child I was lucky to fit *any* pants ._.
My parents didn't allow me to wear camo print so mine were green i think? But yes xD
12 year old Ashley wearing knock off crocks is the funniest thing I’ve seen all day
Edit:damnnn this comment blew off like a drag queens wig! Thank youuuu!!!
Theo Gee me wearing knock off converse
Ur giving me hope that even I, an absolute disaster when it comes to fashion, could maybe get at least a little tiny bit of a fashion sense someday😂
Also looove all your videos and ur personality! ❤
"as you can tell, i was a very normal kid"
*MOOD* 💓🤣
ASHLEY UPLOADS
*DROPS LITERALLY EVERYTHING*
SmileyEssie honestly ^^^
Relatable lol.
i get that notif and nothing else matters!
I clicked so fast
*drops a baby*
Is it 2am?
yes
Did I just find your channel?

Emily Blacker DEKU😭!!!!!
AHAAHAHA SAME
In for a real good treat
Emily Blacker best decision ever! I started with her room makeovers!
Good luck, you’re gonna get addicted and then get sad when you’ve watched every SINGLE video
These self made t-shirts are actually fire🔥😂
In middle school I had to wear a uniform, but I made sure to pair it with platform sneakers with ribbons for laces because fashion. Then in high school it was all hoodies and skinny jeans from hot topic, pac sun, or wherever.
dude i started trying to grow out my bangs in eighth grade too 😔😔😔😔😔bobby pin days
Same here, except minus the bobby pins ;-;
Been there too
me too! wow, eighth grade was the year of growing out bangs
You’re honestly so relatable. I always make weird faces when ppl ask to take photos of me so I don’t look ugly, but I end up looking ugly anyway 😪😂
Amber Stone same
If this isn't me then idk what it is lmao
I just try to smile nicely but I always end up looking terrified because I am terrified
“Prisma is like the Tesla of art supplies” I have never agreed to something more
5:58
when your playing a game and all the high level clothes don’t match
It trips me out that I'm watching someone who was starting middle school when I was in high school and she's done with college and I'm not....brb sticking my head in the oven.
It's ok boo do things at ur own pace you're awesome
theodorusjtg4 thanks bby 💕
SAAAAME
alexloveslife123 how
theodorusjtg4 that’s so sweet
Next video: recreating middle school outfits... but fashion 💃
Now THAT would be iconic 😍
Omg same about the hoodie 😆. I like to look back at those glorious times and think about the key hoodies that really just made each school year 👌
I went trough that "I want to look cool"-phase when I was 10 until I was 12...
Now my closet is still full of ugly T-shirts -_-
