Was that any moreso in the 80s than other decades? No one really wears much of that crap.
Hmmm. Good question. But did I mention FLOCK OF SEAGULLS guy?!?
Did you have the ones that sort of scrunched down around the ankles?
Er, no.
The count of three isn't a plan. It's Sesame Street.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Layered button up shirts, one worn like a jacket.
I'd forgotten that look! And I seem to remember loving it, back in the day.
I always took the shoulder bads out of my clothes, since I'm broad-shouldered, and I ignored color trends if the color wasn't flattering to me. (I think 1987 was the Year of Peach, which I avoided like the plague.) But other than that I was a slavish follower of all the trends, at least in the watered-down form that made it to Birmingham.

FLOCK OF SEAGULLS guy?!?
I think I missed that atrocity. Example?
I had these suede boots, in a beigy fawn color that were folded over at the ankles. Not like the ebay ones.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
This + this + this + this = need to bleach brain.
However, I wouldn't mind this so much.
Flock of Seagulls. I much preferred Spandau fashion. And don't forget Duran!

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Is it too early for me to miss LA?
