Any kids of the 80s out there?

I loved my gravity-defying bangs.

Don't forget LA Gear hightops with two different colored laces on each shoe, big poufy socks sticking out of the top with the end of your jeans folded in and tucked into the big socks - I thought I looked soooo cool

Oh, the Z Cavaricci's!
I still remember the fight w/ my mom, right there in the mall, about me spending my x-mas $ on these!
I think she just wanted to shake me!

Funny thing: My daighter wants pink high-top Converse just like I had!

I was the first in my high school to wear L.A. Gear high tops with a denim mini skirt, no less. I wasn't a fashionista in high school, but it was quite cool having the Benetton wearing girls actually be envious of my clothes.

....back-in-the-day I used to wear Jordache jeans.....and, of course, you DO know why they are called 'Jordache' ["JOOR`- dash"] jeans??









































[...cuz' 'JorDACHE' sticks out in back when you wear 'em...!!]

I had gravity defying bangs as well. I also remember Panama Jack shirts were popular, neon socks, rolled jeans that had to be rolled just so with neon socks, jelly shoes that smelled awful, big earrings, stirrup pants with a long sweater and then of course Ked's shoes after Dirty Dancing came out. Good times, goood times.

My SiL and I went to a Murder Mystery dinner that had an 80's theme. It was great because I grew up in the 80's and we had a lot of fun putting together our outfits. Did the best we could with thrift store finds. I had the acid washed denim skirt, neon shirt and leggings with neon high tops and double layered sock. After killing the ozone with our purple can of Aquanet....we were ready to go! Lots of fun and brought back great memories. I tried to post a pic, but it wouldn't let me. Have to figure out what is wrong and try again later.

Thought of another one. Remember when Banana Republic actually specialized in safari type clothes? I don't think there was ONE KID at my school that didn't have a BR tee shirt with various animals on the back.

Oh, and the polo shirts with the collar flipped up? A whole arm full of Swatch watches. My school apparently favored Reebok high tops (with the two straps of velcro at the top) to LA Gear, but we did have multi-colored wide laces.
