I posted this in the photo board, but i'll put it here too. I"m curious as to what you looked like in the 80s and the trend you followed.
Everyone had a statement - at first, from 79-80 I was the plaid skirt and fishnets girl.  Later, I was doing this ...
:-\\
who did you emulate in your fashion?

Damn girl...you are so dang pretty!

Hmm early 80's I wore dungarees or pinafore dresses like Dexy's or Bananarama.

Then it was Ra-ra skirts or baggy jeans with a t-shirt with a string vest over the top.

My last year at school I wore pencil skirts with over the knee socks.

Finally about 85 I got into rock music so it was skin tight jeans and band t-shirts with baseball or boxer boots or paisley shirts with a waistcoat over them.

Then I discovered glam metal so my hair went white blonde and hugely backcombed and I wore lots of scarves and a lace three quarter length coat and the obligatory cowboy boots! I also got obssessed with the film The Lost Boys and did the whole leather trousers, military jacket, biker boots thing, still with huge hair.
Or miniscule miniskirts and fishnets with either cowboy boots or knee length boots. .

You guys are so cool...and make me wish I waw a teen in the 80's!

haaaaa..aaaaa I"m remembering all the striped shirts I wore...and bandanas. Look at Gina Schock on the far right.
I did this look alot:

I was a big fan of acid washed jeans. (Knees ripped 8))  I did the florescent thing, but didn't care for it much.  I guess my favorite would have been as follows . . .  Oxford shirts, acid washed jeans and either Eastland shoes or Treetorn sneaks. :)  Oh and a spiral perm.

the jeans. oh boy.  i remember that oxford shirts were taboo....until someone went as an exchange student to the UK and brought them back to us.

I can remeber a girl in my class tried to do "stone washed" jeans in her Mom's washer.  totally ruined the washer.  Oxford shirt were great, very classy.

I know what you mean.  Funny thing, I never quite caught on to flare jeans.

They're back - my teenage nieces and nephews are starting to wear them.  :D

When I hung around with the Rockers I wore ripped jeans, ankle boots, bandanna and a jean jacket covered with pins.

Later, I tight-rolled my pants wore penny loafers and preppy sweaters.  I also wore plaid anything, pants, skirts, vest. 

Had the parachute pants, sleeveless T's, hi-top sneakers and the rat tail & mullet circa 1984-1986

Then I cut my hair short in back and grew the bangs out after that and started wearing Chuck Taylors, Airwalks or Vans on my feet, longer shorts from Jimmy'Z and Ocean Pacific, shirts from Quiksilver, Vuarnet, Town & Country.  Then I'd flip back and forth with growing my hair out some then cutting it again.

Here's me playing fashion karma chameleon with the skate T and the beginnings of a mullet and Lennon specs circa 1987-88.  :D
