This is your mother's Rush! What we wore 1960-1990

[ForeverRoses]

I flipped through my old AOII scrapbook last night and looked at the pictures from rush- in 1993 for Open Houses I wore a lovely Blue/Green/White/Black plaid shirt with a waffle weave shirt underneath. I am pretty sure the plaid shirt was from the men's side of Abercrombie & Fitch (and if I remember correctly, it wasn't mine- I snagged it from a guy friend's closet). It was paired with black walking shorts and finished off with white ankle socks and Bass Bucks shoes. I look like I just walked out of a Pearl Jam video. Both my friends in the picture are dressed similarly.

Oh the joys of rush during the days of grunge.

Oh, for pref I wore a blue with cream polka dots short sleeved dress with cream hose and blue heels. I still remember my Rho Chi's advice of - NO NUDE HOSE! (nude hose were considered a "cuttable" offense by some).

I would post pictures, but I don't have a working scanner.

Gasp! The nude hose in the 90's were so wrong! Ha! I remember we wore sheer black hose with practically everything. White shoes were also completely passe even in the summer. During the same time period, I only remember what I wore for pref. We didn't have supper formal prefs, so you just wore a church style dress. I was into Yuppie style, so I picked a red dress that was double breasted with a white collar and blue buttons. It had a little blue pocket square so it looked like a little red suit dress. I paired it with white hose and a pair of navy heals. I had super curly hair down to my waist a la Nicole Kidman. My husband laughs when he sees pictures of my hair back then and says I looked like a Pentacostal (no offense to any one of that religion.)

I never did get the "nude hose = Satan" thing that was going on for a while. This all reminds me of my dad. He HATED seeing women wearing the cream colored hose and one day when I decided to sport them (with my navy suit and matching pumps, yeeesh) I got an earful.
