Does her shirt say "FOX"? Because if it does, then that is awesome!

Even though you want to say something about this photo, most of us in our late 30's looked the exact same way!! How many have been tagged on FB looking just like that.

We all looked like that in the late 80s. I think she looks cute :)

I now have to go listen to some Rick Astley, to burn out my synapses.

This picture is perfect from the Keds to the stonewashed jeans to the sweatshirt with a turtle neck. Just perfect.

Remember when girls tried to get the highest poofy bangs possible? It was like a status symbol.

Looks like every single girl I went to middle-school with. Except me (thank god).

After viewing this portrait, I feel very satisfied with my decision to never wear acid wash.

PunkyPower said...

I could have sworn that was me in that photo - except for the face and hair color. We all dressed like that!

As a follower of the Mod/Ska revival in the early 80's, I can categorically say I did NOT dress or look like that...but I sure did laugh and snigger at all of you who did.

I am also on my late thirties, but my parents stinginess saved me from having adopted the looks this lady sports on the picture. I dreamed about having those jeans and spiking up my bangs, but there was no money left for that. I was forced to wear my straight leg old jeans and my natural hair. And I envied my girlfriends.

Thanks, Mom. Thanks, Dad.

Brenda said...

Aw, the memories! Stone washed, tapered jeans with pleats around the waist. Good times...

Don't you think a lot of yourself, MaryAnn.
