Friday Fun--Favorite Trend of the 80's

[jgenie]

Not mentioned but I loved were the make your own ribbon barrettes. I had both the matching sets to wear on both sides of your hair (to pull back those feathered bangs!) and the giant single barrette to wear at the back of your hair.

Friendship bead pins that you made and traded and put on your shoe laces.

And I LOVED the pinch-rolled pants phase as it allowed my 5' tall teen self to wear regular length pants.

I had those barrettes!

ESPRIT is still alive in Europe - I bought some items while living abroad in Germany a few years back. Def reminded me of how much I SO WISHED my parents would let me buy the ESPRIT cloth bag for school. Everyone else had them. But I vividly remember my mom saying she would NEVER pay $15 (or whatever it was back then) for a thin cotton bag to carry heavy textbooks, lol.

Now, everyone just uses the Lululemon bags (the kind that they give you for free when you purchase items in store).

Another 80's trend-not a favorite trend but still very iconic of the 80's--fat free everything.

Yes my kids use those for lunch bags. DDs say they pack easy in their backpacks.

Yes! DD2 uses either the free Athleta and/or Free People bag for her gym bag at school.
