LovelyIvy, no I didn't wear ties to high school EVERY day, just considerably more frequently than the average high school student, maybe about 25-30% of my school outfits consisted of a tie. Also, I only got into one fight in high school and that was during my freshman year, which was more tussling than fighting, ie no punches were thrown.
Just so yall know, I only wore bow ties on two occasions in high school, and both were during my freshman year--the other occasion was with my bright yellow and beige number mentioned earlier--I had a beige bow tie with a red stripe and a yellow stripe.
OK, now for some eyewear goofs. I made some VERY loehme eyewear choices as a kid. Here goes...
1982-83: Some thick plastic, double-bar style dark gray eyeglasses that was about one size too small for my face.
1983: A pair of "clear-colored" double-bar eyeglasses that I actually liked, but I lost.
1984-86: A pair of dark brown, square Gazelle-like glasses. I have a 6th grade portrait of me wearing them with a light blue sweater, a dark blue shirt and a light and dark blue striped tie.
1985-86: A pair of HUGE round-framed "clear colored" librarian style glasses that I have a pic of--they made me look like a fly.
1986-87: A pair of silver metal-framed double bar glasses that IMHO was too small or wasn't properly adjusted--I had sores on the back of my ears for the first 3 months I had them.
1988-89: A pair of clear-colored "mini night-owl" glasses--they were more oval-shaped than round, if you know what I mean.
1989-92: a pair of round metal tortoiseshell glasses that had the endpieces actually was a hook--the kind that Granny on The Beverly Hillbillies wore.
1991-present (retired): Silver (later gold) metal-framed double-bar "Steve Urkel-esque" tinted glasses--I wore them at my prom and have pics galore of them. I retired them after 1992.
1992-present (retired): Similar to the metal tortoiseshell glasses as above--I posted pics of me in them at my Bachelors degree graduation cookout at Gramma's in the Look At Me thread.
1995-present (missing): Silver Hugo Boss metal double-bar frames with dark tinted lenses.
1997-present (still wear when I'm not wearing contacts): Oval shaped tortoiseshell glasses--See Evening of Elegance pics posted at the Look At Me thread.
Now you know why I wear (colored) contacts after 20 years of glasses.
