I got one word for ya - LACE!!!
remember how madonna wore lace everything at the beginning of her career, lucky star video, like a virgin and even in her deperately seeking susan movie?? I had lace ankle socks with the ruffles that folded down over my ankle boots
and the lace scarf that also acted as the belt and hair band, oh and the lace gloves and lace three quarter legging as well!!!
Oh I love leg warmers too
We used to safty pin our jeans so they were super narrow at the bottom.
Oh and the cut off gloves a la boy george!! My cousins wore the boy george hats and big baggy jackets too....ahh, childhood memories!

So many memories in this thread!
LOL @ mismatched earrings. I would wear a big gold airplane earring in one ear and a gold star stud in the other.
VO5 commercials (?)...."ooooooh, Alberrrrto"
Like Shimmer said, Footloose-style prom dresses.
Those plastic things that you would pull the hem of your shirt through...what were they called?
Trapper Keepers were the shiz! Airbrushed tigers and beach scenes!
I had forgotten about Jams!
And of course there were Jellies...lots of time spent pulling rocks out of them.
I have always been a product junkie...I remember Impulse body spray, Agree poo & condish, Mink hairspray, Aziza prism eyeshadow, Musk anything, those lipsticks that were bright orange, green or blue but would turn "your perfect color" when you would put them on. They were a B^%$ to get off!
Buying stone washed jeans and finding the stone in the pocket...ha ha
Prince's Purple Rain album...
