I remember the day's when I would wear something like these... Aye many many MANY moons ago.  What sort of  clothes style would you go for today if you were a young flibbertigibbet, again.

OR.. what did you do/wear then that you would never get away with now??

 

Make yourself at home!!! Clean my kitchen. A balanced diet is a piece of cake! In each hand.

I would never get away with anything now!!! Velvet jackets, bottle green oxford bags, platform shoes . I never wore skirts till the gypsy skirts came into fashion . I was a Bay City Roller fan and loved the white cut off trousers with the tartan scarf down one side. My normal clothes would have been baggy trousers and tank tops or jodphurs as we used to ride a lot.I never wore shoes like that thoughSurprised too much of a tom boy

lol I used to love the Rollers too. Mum wouldn't let me wear the trousers half mast as she used to say.  I loved the rider boots though. Never was a fan of the oxford bags..

I like to do my bit for global warming, and so I make sure I use my 400 bhp V8 monster EVERY day.....

Hot pants or 'jump' suits - then but not now, no never Rolleyes and I was never 'safe' on Stilettos and I only had a bee-hive for one afternoon before my Dad went mad and made my cousin wash it all out again

I ran a marathon in 1986 in a pair of trunks about the size of a pair of speedos!

Oh the legs chaffed!

On the other hand ...4 fingers and a thumb

Well that's a relief. A friend of mine was arrested en route to a RHPS evening. Apparently, in Tasmania it used to be illegal for a man to be in women's attire after sundown. Equally apparently, it was perfectly ok in broad daylight.

It think the perm might be out these days - that long-haired masses of curls look so popular in the 80s ...
