Eeew, jellies! What a stupid invention when you think about it. First of all, the rubber straps cut into my feet, then my feet would get all sweaty and they'd slip and squish around in the shoes. They were darn cheap, though. Guess that's why I wore them.
Ahhh, Gloria Vanderbilt jeans! Those were my first major fashion purchase ever! I worked the summer between 7th and 8th grades cleaning the offices at my uncle's auto-body shop on weekends and answering phones during the week. Right before school started, my mom took me to Kaufmann's (Pittsburgh's frou-frou department store) and I shelled out $48.00 for a pair of dark blue jeans with gold stitching and Gloria's signature in gold on my back right pocket and, of course, the embroidered swan on the front pocket. That was SO MUCH MONEY to me at the time but, man, I wanted those jeans.
