Colored jeans: yes or no?

ricksang

You hate the 80's??? I love the 80s, well now. In the 80s I was chubby, had freckles and a lisp.

Im not THAT old, lol.  But this fad was when I was in elementry school (I was born in 1980).  Back when we all wanted to be cool.  I remember my baby sitter wearing stuff like that and thinking she looked so great with her colored jeans and big hair.

Aquanet was my BFF in the 80's

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I was a kid in the 80s.

I think this pic of me is from the very beginning of the 90s, but it's still feckin hilarious.

I was born in 1982, but had no sense of style in the 1980s.  At all.  However, I loved grunge in Junior High.  Wow did we wear a lot of flannel.

AdeleDazeem

I'm nodding with everything Blue is saying as I was also born in 1980.  Colored jeans make me shudder and remember elementary school.  I'd buy colored jeans to match my (oversized) sweaters.  I just can't even think of wearing them again.

Oh man, ESPRIT! Now I'm feeling nostalgic.

I hope I get Blue for the next Xmas exchange. I am going to seen her some colored skinny jeans, a puffy sleeved jacket, lee press-on nails, and blue eye shadow.

All I have to do is go to my moms attic, lol.

Dont forget Skids and patent leather square toed shoes with chiffon ribbon laces.  And my Paula Abdul cassette tape.

Dude you saved your stuff from the 80s? I want to raid your closet just for fun now. Stirup pants? Jelly shoes (those suckers HURT!)

AllAboutTheBenjamin

Oh man I remember wearing jelly shoes, they sure did hurt!  Wtf!  I had a hot pink pair and a clear pair that had all this obnoxious multi-colored glitter in it.

My stirrup pants had nasty pleats down the front of the pant-legs.  Omg.

ricksang

I had the same jellies. By the end of the day in hot ass Louisiana, my feet were sweaty and blistered.

Blueyed228

Lol, those crap jellys did not make it 20 years, but Im sure I still have some.  They will probably disintergrate when you touch them.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: Colored jeans: yes or no? : Yes.  And I also think you need to be pretty tall and very thin to pull them off.
Posted by Blueyed228[/QUOTE]

oh god I hope not. I have a pair of cornflower blue ones.. and I adore them. I've tried on red but they didn't have my size. I am neither tall nor very thin in the leg area... I think they looked good!

They definitely won't be in next year but they are fun for now :)

Starmusica

oh god.. I went to catholic middle school and the "cool" thing to do was wear jellies with your uniform. so hideous.

My mom bought me a pair of jellies to wear with every outfit when I was like 4 or 5.  It's hysterical to me now. I want someone to buy me shoes now.

Blueyed228

Im gonna try to find some pics of the 80's for ya'll of me.  Its hilarious.  I had some scanned on my old computer but it crashed and I lost everything.

I was a fetus in the late 80s.

AllAboutTheBenjamin

I totally had a couple pairs of pants with attached skirts in high school... and I was in high school from 98-02.  The humanity.

Blueyed228

2 words.

Florescent clothing.

Blueyed228

Boom.

Im the one in the back with the hot jacket and permed bangs.


 

lbarr088

I think I wore a lot of 80s based clothing throughout the 90s since I got a lot of sweet hand-me-downs from my cousins.  Scrunchies were the absolute shiiit.  I had so many colors, and prints of them.  Also, my mom had 80s hair for forever.

[QUOTE]Sere, I love you, but really? Why didn't you just say "I'm buying colored jeans, where do you find them?"

Eh, I'm just curious to see people's opinions of them. I didn't know if it was something universally loathed or loved or somewhere in the middle.

Ha, me too!

I used to love my jellies. That was a short lived trend that came back a few months ago that I did not buy into-they did hurt!

celticmyss

Most of my fashion choices in the 80s were inspired by Punky Brewster. I think that says it all. 

KateJ10

The colored skinnies now don't remind me much of the 80s- and I did wear some pretty colorful clothing. I haven't bought any because I told myself no more buying pants until I reach my goal weight. OMG they have Girbauds back at macys. In case you were interested. WTF>

I also agree to not spend a ton on things that are more trendy.

Yes!  Lots of rainbow stuff and the headbands like Cherri

OMG Blue, I had a very similar jacket!
Remember the shirts like that, but they had sheer black sleeves!? That might have been 89 or 90.
I STILL have this LA Gear jacket!
