White blouse (oh it was a BLOUSE for sure)
Preppy print Foulard style bow tie to go w/ said blouse (apparently I thought this would be a sophisticated ensemble ala St. Elmo's Fire's Ally Sheedy)
Some scary vest that allegedly coordinated with the above items
Wool flannel skirt that dropped below the knee
White hose (ok, those 2 words alone should give one hives these days)
Flats
And of course the ubiquitous BOW to hold up my permy big 80s hair

Could you just die to know those clothes had ever been on your body, individually or in combination?????

No, but wait, it gets worse. I was accompanied by my roommate, whose idea of style involved scrunchy socks that color coordinated with every outfit she owned, twistabeads, neon everything, and sometimes Miami Vice style tops. TreSemme hair spray was her BFF.

And despite the scary story I just related, we actually both received bids from the same house. AND are still active in our GLO. Go figure.

OMG...been there. TreSemme, TreSemme, OOOHHH LA LA!
