"I'm coming clean" — me to my therapist re: my obsession with this show.

Let's go back. Back to the beginning. Back to when the earth, the sun, the stars all aligned. Aka the year 2004, when MTV blessed our collective lives with Laguna Beach, or if you want to be fancy, Laguna Beach: The Real Orange County.

This show ushered in a new era of highly-produced reality television and some (me) might argue that it deserved to win multiple Emmys based on the outfits alone. Pretty sure Lauren "But My Friends Call Me LC" Conrad is the reason I spent my formative years layering three different tank tops on top of each other, that's all I'm saying.

And while Laguna Beach's younger, hotter sister, The Hills, usually takes most of the credit for iconic aughts reality TV fashion due to the sartorial genius that is Heidi Montag (don't question me!), the fashion on Laguna Beach was just as good. Like, have you seen Trey's collection of baseball hats? Do the sheer amount of UGGs on that show mean nothing to you?!

In case you do need reminding, we've gathered here today a roundup the most iconic outfits from Laguna Beach that you probably forgot about. Unless these fits have been seared in your memory for all time, in which case, congratulations: you're thriving. And it goes without saying that this list mostly focuses on Seasons 1 and 2 due to the fact that Season 3 just wasn't the same without Lauren Conrad and Kristin Cavallari.

Is this a teenage girl planning a party or a PTA mom taking notes? Verdict is still out.

Core memory unlocked: dropping into M.A.C, pretending you wanted to buy something, getting a free makeover, buying literally nothing.

A seminal moment in television, made all the more powerful thanks to Kristin's signature choker.

Anna Wintour is screaming, crying, throwing up.

I mean, wearing a button-down embroidered shirt without a massive leather bracelet would just be weird.

Scared to reveal I kinda want this :(

Lauren's commitment to spring break-appropriate beachwear is truly inspiring.

An era where jeans were so low that tank tops had to do all the work for them.

Everyone's so obsessed with aughts style, yet no one is brave enough to bring back giant plastic hair flowers.

I also make this face when I camp, so I get it.

Haven't used the term "peddle-pushers" since 2002 and would prefer to never do so again.

Highlight of Oscar the Grouch's life, I can only assume.

The thick-strap halter swimsuit? The skinny strap tank top? The bell bottom jeans? The square sunglasses? It's all just WORKING.

Starting to think Trey's hats represent his inner emotions. This one is telling me, "Help, my parents put me on a reality show at the tender age of 17."

If your grommet belt isn't on your arm, I don't want to see it.

Don't try to understand it, her fashion decisions exist beyond our comprehension.

Would stake my life on this being from Abercrombie & Fitch.

Attention to anyone looking for group Halloween costume inspo.

The only thing more powerful would be Ed Hardy.

Bet you forgot terry cloth cardigans were something we had to deal with as a society. Well Alex is here to remind you.

Our first sighting of an era-fave: the jersey tube top.

Can only assume her grandmother knitted it. Bless.

It's even bigger than the one Kim lost in the ocean.

Seeing a lot of triggering skirt ruffles happening here.

She went to college and came back to make a statement.

Not to brag, but this screenshot is art.

Admit that she invented Barbiecore, you cowards!

The glasses really take his vibes to another level.

It's both a beanie AND a backwards baseball cap, thx for asking.

It's giving Ashlee Simpson circa her "La La" era.

The hat is a lot, but it's the flip phone and square nail French mani for me.

And wore Ed Hardy, naturally.

When in doubt, wear a captain's hat.

To quote Cami, "That's not a dress. I will not let you go out like that."

Hello, FBI, I'd like to report a fashion crime.

BREATHLESS at this look, BREATHLESS.

It's a peace sign, but it's also an angel, okay?

I'm done, I have no more words, bye.
