In retrospect, the 2000s were a time of glaring fashion failures – how could we have believed at the time that glitter tops, brown lipstick and flared jeans were wearable, especially in combination? The icing on the cake, however, were the accessories that we thought were necessary (or at least beautiful) at the time. Diamantés on fingernails and even teeth, oversized earrings and belly button jewelry completed our 2000s outfit, and we hope that these „treasures“ will never make a comeback.
