    Just recently found a picture of me in my tie dyed hammer pants and long spiral permed hair with huge bangs. And NO I will not be sharing it. But wow! What was I thinking!!???

    Hypercolor shirts!

    Slap bracelets. Have to admit I was a little excited when I saw them coming back this year but as watches and not obnoxious neon fabric things.

    Penny loafers!

    And in college - total hippy. Dreads, patchouli, the whole 9.

    I was into grunge for a long while, wore nothing but plaid flannel shirts and men's cords. I even went digging in a bunch of clothes my father wanted to donate and found a primo plaid flannel shirt he used to wear in the 70s. Once he saw me wearing it, he said, "hey, that's my shirt." And he wanted it back. Such a baby...

    That's actually really cute. I can picture seeing my daughter wearing something of mine or my husbands and us saying the exact same thing. funny.

    I had a mullet......with the back part permed.

    Oh and in college I went through an Hawaiian shirt phase.

    "Flashdance" sweatshirts - inside out and the sleeves cut off. Homemade. In peach.
    BIG bangs. Side ponytails.
    Pink reebok hightops. (I actually kinda miss those!)
    Jelly shoes. (Those were the most God-awful uncomfortable things on the planet!)
    Jelly bracelets.
    Furbies.
    Cabbage Patch Kids. Seriously, how ugly were they?!
    fluorescent-colored anything. I'm sure my 6th grade teacher still has retina burns.
    Michael Jackson earrings.
