I would always wear my Bongo overalls with one strap hanging down. I'd wear it correctly into the house after school when I saw mom though.
Some other memories...

Duran Duran
Backwards shaker knit sweaters
Candies
Babysoft
Wearing 3 or 4 neon colored belts
Square Pegs

OHMYGOD andi! backward shaker knit v-neck sweaters. i wish i could say i never did that! LOLOL
LEGWARMERS?!?!?!
Don't you know good JW girls don't wear them? They look like your undies have fallen down around your ankles and you are ready for SEX!!!!
(As decreed by the Elder body of one certain Central NY cong.)

Down at Fraggle Rock class
lisa, i read your story about leg warmers, so funny how so many rules were congregational or regional.
and yes i loved fraggle rock too! and as i got older and felt like i shouldn't be watching such a kids' show, i was lucky enough to babysit some girls that loved fragle rock, so i still got to watch! haha
How about rainbow colored hair (ala Cindi Lauper)?
I used to have one of those 'Miami Vice' style suits - fortunately no photographs exist.
Mony, those cargo pants are a total rip off of 80's fasion. I guess it's only a matter of time for bike shorts and fanny packs to come back.
Favorite 80's movies?
Ferris Beuler's Day Off
Breakfast Club
Better Off Dead
confl, i loved those movies too (secretly i wish to someday own my own collection of john hughes movies and a collection of john cusack movies hehe)

ankle length boots elasticated jeans and hunter jackets
farrah trousers or stay pressed
