Rockin' Outfits
Written by: Allison M., Senior Editor – Posted: Sun Aug 3rd, 2008
The date was August 28, 1997. I was 13 and head over heels for Taylor Hanson. My best friend Anna and I had won tickets to their private concert at the Beacon Theatre in New York City, where they would be taping a concert and a new music video. Needless to say, I wanted to look hot, but with strict parents and a limited budget I had to put together an outfit with what I had in my closet.

Determined to get one of the brothers' attention, I coordinated my outfit as follows: brand new flare legged L.e.i. jeans, every-shade-of-blue striped baby doll tee, my multiple necklaces, one a cross and the other the Wicca symbol (if you liked Taylor back in the day you know what I am talking about), and my platform concert sneakers (black and white patent leather). Although I was a fashion disaster, I was ready to MMMBop!

One of the greatest things about summer, besides the warm weather and going to the beach, are the awesome summer concerts. Summer is a season when most bands tour the country, and we get the chance to see our favorites up close. So, instead of repeating my mistakes take a gander at the suggestions below.

cool
Hee hee... I went to that concert! I won tickets from the local radio station. It was a bus trip and they bussed you, a friend and a parent to the show. I am actually in the magazine... Seventeen I believe it was. Which ever magazine it was, it had Hanson on the front and the picture is on like page 102 or something like that! But you are right... That was a special night! My friend at the time and I had a wonderful time! We were all the way up at the top but then they told us to move down closer to fill in the seats for the Concert Video they were filming. We were put in the family section ha ha. I didnt even know who the heck anyone was :) But anyways, lets see, I was wearing a yellowish sunflower dress :) And I do have admit I have been a walking fashion disaster to a lot of the concerts I have been too... I think its that notion of *trying* to look cute because you never know who you are going to run into, even at the local restaurant! So I stopped trying and I scaled it back to a pair of jeans and a stylish rock designer t-shirt. My goodness Allison, was that Hanson concert really 11 years ago... LMAO My years have gone by soooo much... I was 15 at the time then. Love the article!!!
