Yeah, for all my disparaging, I did wear all of the trends I mentioned, except the crazy bangs, even the shortalls! Made me look like such a child. Ah, memories.

Okay, so while you girls are having flash-backs I’m having hot flashes. What a difference a generation makes. The 80’s styles are not even in my memory banks because they are such a tiny piece of my adult life, but I can really see how they would be emblazoned in your memory because they came during your time of beginning to be “fashionable”. KT, I love to hear about the particular items of clothing you remember. because I remember you wearing them. You were so cute in those pegged pants with the ankle bows! Honk, I do remember some things!

Yeah, because they put shoulder pads in everything - like sweaters and t-shirts. Then people would wear layered shoulder pads, and they would slide down towards the back, and yuck! they just looked bad. I’m having flashbacks. I had a mock-turtleneck short-sleeved striped t-shirt with shoulder pads and I thought I was so cool. But I actually have fairly broad shoulders naturally so I don’t think I would ever “need” shoulder pads in any garmet except maybe a really structured dressy blazer or something…

I agree. Shoulder pads–at least the 80’s version–are ALL WRONG.

Yeah, I’ve seen the writing on the wall. Darn those shoulder pads, though - do we really have to go through those again?

Oh, I definitely wore side ponytails, too. with double scrunchie power. I just don’t want to revisit that part of my life… seems like it’s not good to do something quite that assymetrical to your head. upsets the balance of the brain…

I, too, *wanted* to wear the fashions, and I, too, was too chicken to take it up with my non-approving mother. (though I did wear jeans with the zipper/bow. and proud of it.) I *never* wanted the spiked bangs.

Alright girlfriend, I wore side ponytails. A lot. So there! I adored those jelly bracelets too…I wanted to wear a lot of those fashions you mentioned but I never did because my mom wouldn’t hear of it and I was too chicken to ask.

I heart colored tights. I have you to thank for that! Love, me
