I thought it would be fun to throw this question out there and see what you all remember about fashions growing up. I know there has been conversation on and off about it but I have to say that I am being forced to remember my growing up fashions as I get together an outift for the kids to wear to their social this week.
The 80's is the theme and this is the decade where I spent my primary years (funnily enough). I remember the sports socks with pompoms on them the high top shoes the addidas jackets and how track pants were trendy to wear your socks over the top!. Leg warmers and raaraa skirts not to mention the no shaped tops and bubble skirts. Scrunchies and teased fringes (bangs) and of course the fluro (everything) dangle earrings bangles (and the band!) Frankie goes to Hollywood and Funky town (song!) We wore skirts over jeans and thought we were cool while riding our bmx bikes pretending to be Nicole Kidman in BMX Bandits. We did the locomotion (and our parent rolled their eyes) to Kylie! And tried very hard to dress like her too even though I was NOT of the same age!!
Phew! Now to separate the thoughts into practicality and possibly sewing of something very 80's. I may be meeting with strong opposition at the insistance that the ideas I bring up are very NOW But then I will just have to whip out the old year books to prove my case that what was trendy then is somewhat trendy again and then it wouldn't be so bad.
What was your era? What do you remember? Go on tell us....
