OT:Ok, what was your biggest fashion blunder

i have pictures of me in grade 8 with the bangs that were all spiked up in a waterfall like motin lol.... and do you remember when jeans were tapered on the bottom and baggy at the top i had a few of those too ..... :blushing:


jackie

Let's see... where to begin...

Who ever thought that neon-colored slouch socks, side ponytails, peg-rolled jeans, slap bracelets and banana clips would ever go out of style!?! I guess that's assuming they were ever 'in-style' in the first place.

I can't speak for the rest of the people on this site but I lived through the 80s. 'Nuff said.

When I was in jr. high the "cool" thing to wear were the MC Hammer type pants or the ones the had the "Wings" on them that buttoned together in the front. Also, ALL pants were tucked and rolled at the ankles. :embarassed: :laugh:

Teased bangs, with lots of aquanet
Saftey pinned the bottoms of my jeans
Jelly shoes
I had a ninja turtle ring looped through my neon green shoelaces
I shaved the back of my head, so that when my hair was in a ponytail, you could see it
slouch socks
I had a pair of fake docs because I couldn't afford the real ones, they were so cheap the plastic started peeling off them
spandex shorts with neon coloured racing stripes

OMG i shaved the back of my head too!!! i completely forgot about that .... i thought i was hot Stuff!!!!

I was "inspired" by Hole "Celebrity Skin" (from 1998 or was it '99?) That song will forever remind me of something stupid I did for the name of fashion. I was in love with that music video when that song came out. I love that Courtney Love had the jewels in her hair and that black slashed gown (I was 16, cut me some slack ) Anyway, long story short (for a dance) my friend and I decided that we were going to put jewels in our hair like she had in the video. What did it take for us to archive that look?

A visit to the craft store where we purchased a few packages of jewels. A visit to target where we purchased eye lash glue. A few hours later and voila! Our hair sparkled like hers. (And for good measure we sprinkled some glitter on our hair).

Ok, neither one of us thought it through and the next morning I woke up and the jewels were still there. My mom had to help me rip (yes, it was a literal rip) the jewels out of my hair, along with half of my hair.

omg :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: that is funny as heck!!!! (and i remember the video)

My scalp is aching just thinking about it now.

OMG...I've done all of the above! I went through different styles growing up.

Mid 80's I was a head bangers.
wearing lots of dark clothes
tight, really tight jeans with a short leather jacket.
wore lots of hair bands as head bands (the material ones).
I loved my def leppard shirt so much I think I wore it at least 4 times a week! lol

Then came my preppy days:

I also shaved my hair but on the one side only.
I also wore the jelly shoes and the dollar store tennis shoes (2 pair for 5$)
I wore pins with pictures of my favorite artist
I wore these ugly dresses that had a huge v neck, like down to your belly button but had a built in shirt underneath, It was big at the top and was tight on your thighs (grade 8 graduation, it was yellow too).

High school I had the typical small town girl big hair that was huge on top and on the sides but the back was flat as can be. Clothes was mostly skinny pants with over sized shirts.

oh the good old days.

I remember a comedienne saying, "my hair was so feathered that the back of my head looked like a butt."

That was sooooooo me! :laugh:

I haven't heard the word "feathered back" in years. That is so funny!
Remember back in those days boys and girls had the same feathered back mullet! lol

OMG, Shawn and David Cassidy

2000, I am old, and don't care, if I find something I like, I buy a bunch and I am done.

Amen, sister! :laugh:

When i was 16 i had long hair and a goatee beard, not too bad, right?

Except my hair is naturally curly. I had hair that you ladies (if you were into perming) would pay an absolute fortune for. When i played rugby i had to tie it back to keep it out of my face, so i used a head band, i looked like a mix between rambo, karel poborsky (see image, if it works) and meatloaf :laugh:

That sounds AWESOME.

My Don Johnson style blazer with the sleeves rolled up to mid forearm and shoulder pads big enough to make a football player small.

My Coca-Cola shirt!!! OMG I thought I was sooooooo cool when I finally got my Coca Cola shirt, remember they could be any color, but the block across the midsection was always cream w/the Cola logo on it???? It and my hurrache (sp?) shoes!!!!!

OMG!
I had a big red shirt that said Coke on it. I was in grade school and chunky, you could see me coming from a mile away! I wore it all the time.

Ugh, my mil was just here and she was wearing stirrup pants, I think I was trying to block those out of my mind lol!
