What says style like:

Stonewashed, tight-rolled jeans?
Skirts attached to knit leggings?
Scrunch socks?
Stirrup pants (please, please make my legs look like triangles!)?
Slap bracelets (banned from my school!)?
Umbros (soccer, anyone?)?
Zubaz (oh, the horror of these pants)?
Hypercolor (because I want people to see that my armpits are hot)?
Roo’s?
BK’s?
Debbie Gibson’s hat?
Starter jackets (only ours were nylon with hoods)?
Russells?
Girbaud jeans (that little tag on the crotch = your ticket to coolness)?
Grunge?
Baby Tees?
Scrunchies and spiky bangs?
Super-large sweatshirts and tapered-leg jeans?

Ah…the dream that is growing up in the 80s and 90s. I lived that dream. Don’t you ALL wish you had? Give me polyester any day!

What the heck? That was like looking at some foreign language. I graduated high school in 1984. Maybe I have alzheimer’s.

I graduated in 1998, so I guess that does put us on slightly different fashion tracks. What were your fads?

What are you trying to do, give me nightmares?? Sheesh.

I graduated in 1989, and had the unfortunate displeasure of participating in many of these fads (although zoobahs have always made my skin crawl… notice how they… no, the horror of the thought makes me ill).

Scary… are moving towards a day when we will all wear silver metallic non descpript flight suits that suck in the bad and push out the good! At least we wont have to buy into new fads!
