By the time you were a senior, you had a monstrous creation that covered your entire chest. Therefore, the over the shoulder mum was born. A satin banner connected the two blooms in the front to the two in the back. The whole thing was then adorned with the entire craft section from Hobby Lobby; small teddy bears glued to the center of the mums were quite popular. An alternative to the mum was also becoming popular: The Homecoming garter. Yes, those were also adorned with a disproportionate number of decorations. Usually, the "loose" girls wore these, because you couldn't wear them under clothes of appropriate length without looking like you had a strange growth on your leg.</p> At my high school, your mum consisted of one blossom for each year of high school.

We had them in TN, too, but not that big. The longest I can remember the ribbons being were to the knees. Thanks for the walk down memory lane.</p> It wasn’t just a Texas thing.
