1980-something

[Sitka]

Class of 88 here...

Parachute pants, anyone?

Izod shirts?

Hobie [surfing gear] t-shirts? [there was another kind of t-shirt that was even more popular ... the character was a guy in a pith helmet and he had a monocle ... anyone remember?]

Swatch watches?

Neon colors?

Checkered Vans shoes (a la Jeff Spicoli)

Buttons of bands (Culture Club, Van Halen, etc) for your denim jacket?

Which reminds me, RIP John Hughes.

Long live the 80s!

Panama Jack!

And by the way, the doubled-up polos with the collar turned up are back. Unfortunately. I always hated the "popped" collar.

I'm a teen too... whenever my mom sees some new thing I wear she says "I wore that in high school" or "that's just like what I'd wear in my 20's!" I like mixing the 80's, 70's, and 60's together, rather bohemian. With a little Victorian mixed in. I have a very distinct style... when I moved to my new school people started copying my look, LOL!

from a fellow class of 81 alum!! Oh gawds! To be able to go back for real. *sigh* Some of the happiest times of my life. The only thing I didn't want to be when I grew up was OLD! Dangit! What happened?

Good grief, I've got clothes older than most of you.
