I love Tara Cain’s blog and her Gallery blog hop. I am just never organised enough to participate.
Until I heard this week’s and thought “I have to enter this, I have a belter”.
I had been searching through old photos of me to do a post on childhood holidays, when I stumbled across this:
I would love to be able to say that I am the stylish lady on the left, but that is my mum who is as stylish today as she was back then.
Me on the other hand. …… What the hell was I thinking when I put that ensemble together?
1) Permed AND highlighted hair
2) Double denim
3) Trying to be uber cool with the matching jumper and socks?
4) Jeans rolled up?
My only defence is that it was 1988.

Wow that is a great picture! Not really embarrassing as it is very eighties! I was a teen in the eighties too and trust me my photo is much worse!
Very Miami Vice!!!! Gotta celebrate the 80s, eh?
Here’s my BIG mistake… http://saveeverystep.wordpress.com/2012/02/13/fashion-fail/
Hahaha…That is such a brilliant photo! As an 80’s teen myself I know that outfit was cool back then! Wish I had more of me during that time (I used to dress like Madonna – I was obsessed, lol)
A true 80s fashion victim!
So Molly Ringwald!!! It rings 80’s 80’s 80’s!!! Such a syle queen 🙂
That is so pepsie and shirlie! Fantastic, for the time that was a great look. I love your friends coat.
Lol just reread. Wow. One very cool mother.
It was the 80’s . We’ll let it slide.
I was goth (we called it “New Wave”) in the 80s with a burgundy Duran Duran ‘do, long jackets and rubber bracelets up my arm. Don’t feel bad. And we all had the denim jackets….here in the States it was the thing to have an artist paint your favorite album cover on the back of one’s denim jacket and cover them with rock pins. I could never afford that so I had an Aussie flag on mine. I still have it-Nik Kershaw pin and all. 🙂
And your top is tucked in! Though it does match your socks.
What a great sport you are, sharing this cracker!
Loving the chic mum.
oh the socks! the socks! I bet you thought you were so in vogue at the time!
The shame MB, the cheek-burning shame. How COULD you? And you a mother n all
Love the jeans!! 🙂
Love the waist-high jeans.
