The television host, 42, revealedToday with Hoda & Jennathat she had a particular love for a certain men’s clothing item when she was younger after her co-hostHoda Kotbdiscussed her new love for sweaters while Christmas gift-shopping.

“I’ve decided I’m into cozy sweaters,” Kotb told the audience. “With a little pop!,” Bush Hager added.

“No, I’m into it! Do you know there was a period of time back in fourth grade where I was into wearing ties?,” Bush Hager said.

Kotb asked if it was “men’s ties” to which Bush Hager confirmed, noting that she wore them because they were popular from the tween clothing store Limited Too.

“Oh the Limited! Do you remember Casual Corner?,” Kotb. asked her.

“Oh I loved Casual Corner. But Limited Too was us,” Bush Hager shared. “So there was a period [where I wore ties], and then the nerdiest part of the whole scenario is we would make ties for our cats to wear to match us.”
