Goood Morning Fashion Disaster
It's Wednesday again and TKW, obviously suffering from spring fever, is again this week having us show off our disasterous fashion choices. This week "she's still preoccupied with 19-19-1985"...in continuing with the fashion through the ages theme TX Mom also came up with this theme...pull out the parachute pants, whip our the White Rain and show us how unkind the 80s were to you.
Ok. Here it goes.
My grandfather, my mom and I doing some form of line dancing in the middle of my grandparent's living room. My outfit isn't too bad, BUT, what is the deal with my mother's one-piece shorts outfit and PANTYHOSE?
My mom and I getting ready to go to church some time in the 1980s. The old 1977 Silver Caddy up front and my Great Aunt's old TownCar in the back. What is the deal with the v-neck dress fronts ending in bows?
Here is my cousin, OB, and I. I definitely had the beginnings of a mullet coming on.
I am pretty sure this picture was taken in 1989. One of two perms I have had in my life. Never again. And the dark jeans with the nearly black seams? WTF?
Yep, I was a political rebel even in 1989. I went to a small baptist high school and the crazy freshman Bible teacher would get on a weekly soap box about how the Peace Sign was Satanic! Of course I wore this shirt at school anytime I could get away with it, which wasn't often since we wore uniforms.
That shirt I had on had bright "neon green puff paint" peace signs all over a background that looked like a bunch of articles cut out of a newspaper. I loved that shirt, I still have it, and actually I have worn it in the past 4 months (although I think it was just to grab some fast-food drive-thru dinner and come right back home.)
Neon and Puff Paint just screams 1980s.
Again, 1989. That year was a fashion disaster in my book. Here I am at my grandparent's house. I am guessing this was around Christmas time. My aunt and I sporting our sweatshirts, leggings, big bulky socks and perms. Lord help.
This my friends was my, of all things, EASTER dress, in 1984. It was big, frilly, purple and it matched perfectly with my red-neck mullet hairdo.
This is my friend LKR and I on my trampoline in my backyard in Houston. I got the trampoline in May 1986 so this picture was probably taken not long after that. Notice the red and blue shirt? Yeah, can you say leotard/bodysuit/one piece painful crap (and under bluejeans at that) that I can't believe I wore! And God why did my mother let my hair look like that for so long?
Did you play? Let TKW and I know!

Oh man, you sure had a lot of 80's pictures!!
The outfits were horrible then, but bring back so many good childhood memories for me!

OMG. You had the Footloose dress too!
That outfit your mom had on is one piece? Oh. No. And the pantyhose!

Girl, I wanted to do an Easter theme in April b/c I had the BEST picture of me ever (speaking of bow dresses)...I totally looked like Anne Frank.
Anyway, puffy-paints...Yup, I had a whole sweatsuit that had been attacked by those suckers. I love it.

That's a lot of 80s!
I had teachers get mad at me for wearing a peace symbol, too.
I played!
