How about granny dresses in the 70's?

Geez, I had jeans that had a rainbow design on the leg front that wrapped around the back to the other leg.

I also had velvet jeans, Gitano I think.

Then you have my all time fave.. SPANDEX! along with the funky earrings

Let's see in intermediate and high school:

mini skirts-loved wearing these
leg warmers
couldn't afford designer jeans
I am sure I am forgetting some things


Remember "Jellies"?
Remember women's ties?
Remember Roach Clip earings?


I also went through a phase in 7th grade where I wore concert shirts and flannel shirts all the time-guess it was a "burn-out" phase.

I never really had super high hair but I did shave one side of my head once and kept it longer on the other side. It actually looked better than it sounds-hard to explain. I wonder if my dad has a photo of it- I will have to see when I am down there next time.

Who could forget macrame purses. Also, remember those horrible black concert t-shirts with the tour dates on the back. So popular when I was in jr. high and high school. It was so cool to wear one to school the next day to show off what shows you went to.
