Lizzie McGuire; the original trendsetter

Lizzie McGuire… get inside her head!

I was obsessed with Lizzie McGuire when I was in middle school, with all her funky clothes, hairdo’s and funny antics. I was always trying to wear things that I thought looked similar to her style even though I always felt like I looked more like Miranda, lol. Mismatched patterns, clunky shoes, colorful hair and hair pins, and funky book bags and purses were a thing of my generation! I’ll never forget I had this orange and white tie dye shirt and I loved it because I thought it looked like Lizzie’s shirt in the beginning credits only she wears it in blue! Lol, I was quite infatuated. I remember dying to try to get my hair to do that whole typical very Lizzie style, you know the whole bangs out, headband on thing. I don’t think i ever could get it quite right! I even wished for my own phone in my room, because of her, Gordo, and Miranda’s three-way phone calls! haha To me Lizzie was the original trendsetter, a girl who was close to our age, that we could relate to. And let’s do a quick shout out to the little Lizzie cartoon, she was hysterical, and now that I’m older I sit back and think, wow that was a really clever way for them to create her word bubble…she acted as Lizzie’s inner thoughts. Really cool! I loved Lizzie, and so did my friends, every time there was a new episode my friends and I would watch it together. She was kind of a big deal for us! lol
