When I was in fifth grade, all the popular girls wore Coca-Cola shirts, Guess jeans, and Reebok high-top sneakers (preferably pink ones). I was certain that once I procured this particular ensemble, world domination would be mine.

A few Christmases and birthdays went by, and I finally had all the requisite pieces. I stepped out in my outfit, which was teetering on the edge of out-of-date. As I walked down the hall past the popular girls, I heard the Queen Bee say, “Look, even Sarah has Guess jeans now.”

“They must not be cool anymore,” was the reply from one of her minions.

Ouch.
