Did you guys wait eagerly for the August issue of Seventeen, which was double-thick and had the latest styles in it?

I miss Sassy. I'd probably still be a subscriber.

While it was cool to see a magazine promoting alternative fashion/music/beauty, IMO it went too far - in much the way that the feminist movement did. It went from "here's a choice if you don't feel like you can ever be that perfect girl in Seventeen" to "if you for one second ever liked anything in Seventeen you must be some kind of loser and are in no way cool enough to hang out with us." In other words, it became just as cliquish as the cliques it was originally created to shun.

Not to mention the editor turned into a total fame whore.

Didn't Sassy have a glossier cover than the other teen magazines or is my memory not serving me well?

1981

Navy bermuda shorts and kelly green Ralph Lauren polo shirt (which had to be specially purchased at the only store in Nebraska that carried them), collar UP, no doubt, and navy blue bass sandals for open house.

White sleeveless wrinkly cotton dress with ruffle and embroidery, white espadrilles for skit and house tours.

Royal blue skirt and blouse outfit with sleeveless v-neck top with a big ruffle around the v and a ruffle on the bottom of the skirt....can't remember what shoes I wore. I think this was pref. I might be missing a day.

Navy blue and white striped short sleeved wrapdress, navy pumps for bid day, we were told to wear navy blue. Actives wore black dresses. Pictures on the lawn in dresses. Then for our party later, we wore navy shorts and our brand spanking new white Kappa Kappa Gamma SWEATSHIRTS with the sleeves pushed up. In August.

I already had the white dress and loved it. I bought the blue skirt and blouse outfit in Lincoln and went on a pilgrimage to Omaha for the RL polo shirt. I'm pretty sure I had the blue and white striped dress already, too. I know I wore it for years to work and church after college.
