2.     Swatch watch

3.     Banana Clip and ribbons

4.     Leggings

5.     Stilletos

6.     Ra-ra skirt

7.     Pixie Boots

8.     Donkey jacket

9.     Leg warmers

10.     Big bright jewellry

11.     Midriff baring anything a la Madonna

12.     Wide Belts

13.     Bold make-up

Not all worn at the same time, I might add!

    Oh my gosh, Such a fun TT. What a blast from the past. I was also a teenager in the 80’s. I graduated in 1988. I loved wearing all those cool boots and yes I had big hair and wore lots of makeup. Loved the blue eye shadow. LOL!!! Thanks for visiting my TT.

    I won’t tell you that I was 4 in the 80s, but what I find amusing is that a lot of these styles are still around or are back. It just proves that everything is a cycle.

    Happy TT!

    OMG…………yes to all! But leggings and stilettos are back in – scary…at least Madonna is still around – is that good or bad? I like your sultry teenager pose there too!!! Yes Swatch watches….once saved up for ages to buy one for a boyfriend…..I even bought a metal one this year at Cancun airport for me!!

    You`re making me miss Thursday Thirteens.

    I never had the big hair but I was watching Facts of Life of tonight and was fascinated by the size of Jo`s hair!

    The 80’s were the best! I remember wearing most of these, and the big hair. Those were some fun times. “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun”

    Have a great weekend.
