Holy crap that is ugly. The leggings make it worse. I guess we should be happy we can't see the top.
If we do have an "80's revival" fullblown, I predict it'll be like the real 80's was...weird clothes in the magazines, but the majority of real people wearing VERY subdued versions of the stuff, or else just giving up and prepping out. At least, I hope so!

Does this mean I have to stop making fun of my mother's wardrobe...because I think this is a sign it's all coming back in style...

On yeah, the one with the leggings is hot! All she needs is an off-the-shoulder torn sweatshirt. (And the claw, of course.)
Someone just joining this thread may wonder if this is the dress code for CMU or something.

Local news reported that the upcoming fashion trend is the Izod polo with the sweater tied around your shoulders. Do you think they'll reprint the Preppy Handbook?

It will be the Preppy Handbook, 2nd Edition, in the Northeast and Midwest and the Fratty Handbook in the South.

I think the source that we want is the 1944 Carnegie-Mellon Yearbook.

All 5 of the women's fraternities were local sororities and we all affiliated with a national GLO in the early 40's.

Admit it - if you were old enough to be preppy in the 80s, when you see the alligator or the horse - you stop, you look, you touch it. We can't deny it.

Prep vs Flashdance
When freshmen of my era arrived at CMU from New England where the prep look reigned supreme, we were distressed by the big hair, ripped sweatshirt, leg warmer look. We kept our crocs, Docks, pearls and pageboys and pledged ASAP to hang with our like-minded conservatives.

Don't get me wrong, I wore the 80's stuff too...but I got over it. The 80's is when my mom hopped off the Fashion Train.

The Flashdance look was how we "rebelled" in the 80s. THe preppy look was the other 360 days a year.

That or trying to recreate the London West End look a la Boy George or Madonna with a fishnet shirt and fingerless gloves.
