Woman mortified after 90s Nokia accessory included in Halloween costume set

Most of us will remember the good old days of the noughties - where Nokia phones were the only accessory you needed, butterfly clips were all the rage, baker boy hats were massively in, and if you weren't wearing a windbreaker, then who even were you?

Not many of us are ready to accept that these are now Halloween costumes though, and one woman was left mortified when she went into a fancy dress shop to get a costume and was faced with a tonne of items from her younger years - including a fake yellow Nokia phone in a set with butterfly clips.

Over the video, Chrissy Allen aka @csapunch, had written she'd gone to a fancy dress shop and she said she 'couldn't believe what she saw'.

The TikTok 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, 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 (we miss this), a golf-style sweater vest, a gold shiny cropped jacket with bamboo style earrings - all of which are quintessentially 90's and noughties.

One of the accessory sets included a Nokia phone, which many will remember... (tiktok.com/@csapunch/)

At the end of the video, she looked horrified by the things she'd seen in the shop, as these things are part of her youth - and they're now being used as Halloween costumes.

Others were shocked at the Halloween costume choices, with one writing: "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?!", someone fumed.

"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.
