summer trends

Yeah. I am grateful there are few photographs left to prove what a
fashion plate I was in the 80's. MERCIFULLY FEW.

I am having a flashback of an orange suede long jacket with shoulder pads
big enough for a football player, gold blouse, velvet jeans and giant bangs!
Yikes! How could I have?

I joined the Army in the mid 80's. I stepped off the bus to basic training
and the drill instructor laid in on me. I'm glad I no longer have that hair
cut or those clothes/glasses. LOL

Speaking of ties, I got a silk tie in slate Purply pink tulips when I was in
Amsterdam. Can anyone use it?

I wore Navy uniforms to work until Sept 83, mostly jeans and T's or sweaters
and/or Folk Wear patterns' clothing off duty/to SF State until 1985, then
maternity clothes... then back to the jeans, etc. "Discovered" muumuu's
somewhere in the mid-to-late '80s, too....

Likewise. I still have some of the ones I pulled out of shirts/sweaters I
bought back then.... I had sewed some in the knees of my kids' pants when they
were toddlers, and a few pair got used in costumes, but with my broad
shoulders, I didn't need them padded.
Actually, those "padding removed" shirts fit me pretty well-- I could buy
shirts that fit my bust measurement, rather than a size or two larger to fit my
shoulders.

I totally agree. I love the fact that pink is so in this season. And even
though I can't wear it, I am glad about yellow, too!

Touches of yellow I can handle. They make purples look more purple, and that's
lovely. I like what Corina said about plum in one of her auctions, too....plum
is gorgeous. I've always loved it, it hums.

I hope the 80s revival goes away soon. That was one of the ugliest decades
ever. Bad perms, legwarmers, leggings, big tops, shoulder pads, and the makeup
(oh dear).....I could go on, but now I have to be sick.

It's slate blue, purple, and pink?

Yesterday I stopped in Hot Topics, and saw the most beautiful PURPLE satin
Converse low tops - embroidered with flowers! I think I may need to own them!

Oh I know, Vicki! I was in the mall yesterday, too...and um....well...ewwwww. Made
me curious enough to pull out some of my pictures from high school...which I promptly
put away, at the BOTTOM of the box. I might scrapbook them someday....but I'll have
to be nearly blind before I do it. Can't believe I ever did the big hair thing...or
the stirrup pants and big shirt with the wide belt that hung off the hips, the weird
pastels and bright colours. I wasn't allowed some of the "trashier" stuff....which
is a good thing, I think. The whole trauma of it all is probably what made me forget
most of that time anyway...LOL. I'll stick to my style, which is simple, classic and
understated. (So it doesn't outshine my personality : D )
