13 Pages From A Delia's Catalog That Will Make You Feel Like A Pre-Teen Again

By Tanya |

When you were a preteen, there were few more important things than picking out your style. The clothes you wore would help you feel confident while you were going through some of the roughest years of your life, so obviously you had to pick the best ones.

Where was the best place to get clothes? Obviously it was the Delia's catalog! It was the most stylish and awesome place to get clothes from, even though our parents didn't believe us. For some reason they would say that we should just buy clothes in store so we knew what fit, but where's the fun in that?

The Delia's catalog would come every season and each time we would mark the pages of everything we wanted. How many of these pages do you remember folding over?

How about a nice cardigan buttoned right up to your neck?
