Can you stand another retro thread?

BTW...when I worked for the Limited, we had so many Greeks working there that we joked we were all members of Lambda Tau Delta. One girl even had a letter sweatshirt made.

Now, back to the 80s

I remember hearing that the GAP stood for... "Greeks Are Purchasing!"

This was my go-to resource for my pre-college shopping:



I drew the line at Fair Isle sweaters, however.

ACK!! We actively sought out PNMs in Fair Isle Sweaters! I remember a composite when we had to have fans going, since everyone was wearing at least two sweaters!

The Preppy Handbook ! Will anyone else admit to buying a copy? Being from Chicago, I was pretty unpreppy although I tried. Ganz nightgowns, Fair Isle sweaters and Pappagallo! I worked at a Pappagallo shop for awhile, and loved their shoes and clothes. I remember when pink and green Malia dresses were what to wear during rush. The 80's were such fun.

Ahhh Malia sundresses -- I can still see the one I wore to Skit round...

Not this, but similar!

This was positively the most entertaining retro thread I've read in a long time! Probably because it reminded me so much of going through recruitment during the same era, it just struck such a chord. Just the other day, I was writing recs and thinking about how ridiculous I must have looked, going to a rush party in a sweater vest, blouse, a wool skirt that hit at the knee, and navy pumps--hello, Mallory Keaton). I guess I just didn't recall that many of us wore this type of outfit.

Pappagallo-that was IT back in the day! I still wish I had saved my bermuda bag from back then. Thank god Lilly has been resurrected. Now, tell us what house it was!
