Woman horrified after spotting old Nokia in a 2000s Halloween costume kit

When thinking back to the days of the noughties, which items come to mind?

Most likely it's butterfly hair clips, jelly sandals and aviator sunglasses - bonus points if you ever wore these inside.

For those of us who grew up during those times, it's hard to come to terms with the fact that the style is now more of a throwback Halloween costume.

And one woman was left mortified when she went into a fancy dress shop to get a costume and was faced with a selection of items from her younger years - including a fake yellow Nokia phone in a set with butterfly clips, the Mirror reports.

TikTokker Chrissy Allen aka @csapunch had shared how she'd gone to a fancy dress shop and she said she 'couldn't believe what she saw'.

The video then showed a '2000's kit' which included earrings, hat, necklace, and sunglasses - the hat was in a baker boy style, and the cat-eye sunglasses were typically early noughties.

Then, there was a 90's style windbreaker jacket, a black slip dress, a fake Nokia phone set, a portable cassette player, bucket hats, a circle-style belt, a butterfly necklace, a Blockbuster uniform, Chandler Bing-style sweater vest, a gold shiny cropped jacket with bamboo style earrings - all of which are inspired by the 90's and noughties.

She looked horrified by her discovery, as these things are part of her youth - and they're now being used as Halloween props.

Many other people were also shocked at what she'd found in the shop, with one commenting: "I can finally say I'm actually offended by something. Who do we sue for the emotional damages", followed by a crying with laughter face.

Another said: "That’s probably how those who grew up in the 70s felt seeing their regular day clothes as costumes back in the 90s!"

"We’re a joke to them lol", one millennial wrote.

"Why is my old Blockbuster uniform a costume?!", another raged.

"Why did you have to share, I was still trying to feel young...", another raged, whilst one TikToker said: "I'm not ready."

"The disrespect", one joked.

Do you think it's too soon for this style to be used as a Halloween costume? Let us know in the comments.
