End Quote


I was in Jr. high and High School in the 80's and I remember that in early 80's, neon was all the rage. Big jumbo dangling earrings in all shapes and colors, pin striped Chic jeans, mesh tops and jelly bracelets (courtesy of Madonna) and primary color sweater vests with leggings and oversized angular belts. Paisley was big. Basically, watch the movie "Valley Girl" and you'll get the idea. Oh and ANYTHING from Benneton or The Limited (Outback Red and Forenza)

Towards the mid-80's when hair bands became popular, the bigger the hair, the better. Spiral perms with tons of hairdpray, torn jeans (acid washed of course), denim jackets with leather fringe...basically, the Bon Jovi Look. Frosted pastel lipsticks, tons of eye makeup and Poison (Christian Dior) perfume.

I'm from the south and these were the fashions at my surburban Atlanta school. Email me if you want more info!
