Ra Ra skirt. Jellybean shoes

[mummyrabbitpeppapig]

Just to add a lighter thread as my Jo Jo one got some quite unpleasant comments.
What did YOU wear as a teen. I'll start

Ra Ra skirts pedal pushers ( not together )

Yep - I wore those too OP
And Deely boppers

Puffball skirts
Patrick coat with Farrahs and white stilletoes
Stonewash denim
pixie boots

classy

I think we are the same age as I wore the same ..then Prarie dresses ..pastel pinafore and lady diana blouses.

Jumpsuits
White stilettos with skin tight faded jeans you had to lie down to get into
Tea bag tee shirts
Jumpsuits

What's a teabag tshirt?

I had those weird dancing trousers with all the tie bits coming off.

I wore ra-ra skirt and peddle pushers together

This

When I was about three my mum bought me and my sister a 70's trouser suit

Ra-Ra skirts, jelly bags ( I'd love another one) pedal pushers. Neon socks and neon fingerless gloves. Black fishnet tights with white stilettos!
Then moved onto my Desperately Seeking Susan phase of black lace gloves and backcombed hair

Royal blue dungarees with a wide pink belt, matching feather dangly earrings.

White pixie boots...

I also wore leggings with Hyroglyphics on (walk like an egyptian was out)

Prior to that, tops with Chinese/Manafin writing on were a thing too...

I wore a banana clip in my hair progressing to an old scarf/rag like Madonna.
I also had a jacket very similar to the one she wore in Desperately Seeking Susan.
I was the bees knees me.

And Yes to pinafores. I loved mine. It was pastel pink.

I had a matching full pvc fringed hot pink matching vest top/crop pants combi that i felt a million bucks in

Pedal pushers a bit like pirate pantaloons
Rara skirt
Batwing jumper
Puffball dress
Ski pants/leggings
Navy & white striped pie crust collar shirt (at work) with a navy skirt
Home made lace skirt trying to copy Madonna's style around 1982/3.

Oversized "Relax" t-shirt
Rara skirt
Pedal pushers
Skin tight jeans
Ski pants

Not all at the same time though!

Jelly bean shoes and bags (that everything fell out of), plastic dangly earrings in bright colours, fluorescent odd socks and fingerless gloves (one pink, one yellow),ski pants, velvet pedal pushers and waistcoats, high neck princess Di blouse with matching hairdo, ra ra skirts, puffballs, candy stripe trousers, sailor hats and fergie bows - I'd go back to the 80's in a shot !

Jelly sandals
Plastic open bags

White frilly blouses
Pedal pushers (velour)
Jogging suit (also velour)
White stilettos
Ra ra skirts
String vests
Hyperglobal tshirts
Stonewashed jeans
Donkey jackets (school coat)
Canvas army satchels (school bag)
Drop waist dresses
Shoulder pads in various items 🙈

90s babies - trouser skirts - I had a silver one for the millennium and those massively flared jeans!

Also giant black moon boots spice girls stylee

Think I'm a different era 😂

• A lilac shellsuit
• A skintight body (one of those tips with the poppers at the crotch) and a patchwork waistcoat over the top
• Big fat scrunchies
• White ankle socks wrinkled down over black tights, for school
• A black velvet choker with a dangly silver heart charm
• Fabric coveted Alice band - used to slide it on then push it forward a wee bit so I got that puff of hair at the front
• Giant flared jeans that soaked up all the rain and got holes in the bottom

WE LOOKED SO GOOD 😂

Ooooooh christmas I forgot all about trouser skirts 😍😍 I LOVED my silver/grey pair!

I loved teabag tops and have a couple of slightly more grown up ones from Next and Fat Face still in the wardrobe. Ra ra skirts, pedal pushers (did nothing for my chunky calves), neon baggy tshirts with matching plastic jewellery and ankle socks. skinny jeans (proper denim) that you had to wear wet to shrink to fit and then could only do up by lying on the floor and struggling into. Pinstriped jeans which were particularly awful. White stilettos with very pointy toes. Leg warmers worn with lots of different outfits. Pixie boots and pointy shoes with little kitten heels.

The eighties were a strange decade for fashion which seemed to change constantly and very little of it was actually good but I remember it fondly. I don't think we were as 'uniformed' as today's teens but that could be a rose tinted memory.

Leg warmers, pedal pushers, ra ra skirts, stone wash jeans. I do recall trying on a puff ball skirt in top shop and thinking how daft I looked and not buying it.

I also had a pair of three quarter length trousers, where one older gent charmingly told me I looked like a little huckleberry fin. 😂

And I almost forgot (the horror is returning to me...)

• super low jeans with a bodice style fasten instead of a zip

• mid-calf suedette boots that I used to push down for the optimum slouch effect

• highly elasticated satin thongs, because UTIs were all the rage
