    What Old-School Accessory Do You Still Use?

    By BeautyRiot Diva | Fashion – Fri, Feb 3, 2012 10:59 AM EST

    OK, I'll admit it. I give people crap for wearing scrunchies (who else thinks they're completely ridiculous-looking?!). But now I've got a little '90s confession of my own:

    I'm obsessed with mood rings.

    All of my friends make fun of me, and I know what they're getting at. Who wears a mood ring as a 20-something year old? But I can't help it -- I love it. I got my first one back in 1995, and it's been one of my favorite accessories since then -- even out of this bunch. Every time it wears out, I go and buy a new one, which isn't too easy since they hit their peek over 10 years ago. My current ring is fun, oversized, and never the same color. It's like having multiple accessories in one. What more could a girl ask for?

    I know tons of people mock old-school accessories, but I say ... if you love it, wear it! And while only a few things from the '80s can be called "fashionable" (check out these horrible fashion looks to see what I mean), I think stuff from the '90s is still cool. Remember the slap bracelets? I would so wear those too if I had 'em.

      I use a scrunchy in my hair at home when I'm pulling my hair back to wash my face or if I've got a face mask on because it's not as tight as a regular elastic and doesn't leave a bump on my hair when I take it out.

      I thought mood rings went back to the 60s, not the 90s.

      I use a scrunchy at home only. I had an original mood ring in the 70's. I prefer diamonds now. LOL

      Where can I buy a mood ring (new, not vintage)? What makes them change color(s)?

      For me it’s all about my 80's black lacey Madonna tutu skirt that surprisingly still fits. It’s great for our yearly girl’s nights out in Vegas or New Years celebrations. I always get a chuckle out of it when I see that stores are still carrying them or when someone comes up to me and enthusiastically ask where I got it!

      Seriously, slap bracelets were the shiz. If I could still wear them and not look like an idiot, I totally would...

      I wear my scrunchy only at home and only to pull my hair up before bed. I do like mood rings but dont own any. Other than that I dont think I own or like any 80' or 90's accessories.

      scrunchy.... it's so easy and doesn't pull out your hair.

      scrunchies, love em they are so easy on the hair, none of those neon types. I see them everywhere on many women young and old yes even those in very fashionable clothing. its HOW you wear it, softly with hair wrapped for me.
