what about leggings and a minidress... think of the possibilities

My personal fave leggings were on a girl today in the mall. They were skull patterned AND lace trimmed. Gotta love an article of clothing that can express your morbidity and femininity all in one.
Sounds like you live near a Hot Topic!

I read that they tried to push legwarmers last season, but they just didn't catch on. The proposed explanation was that they make almost everyone look fat.

Sadly, I've seen quite a number of girls at my school wearing legwarmers.

This thread made me do a Daria flashback:

Tiffany - Ugh, stretch pants. Everywhere, stretch pants.
Stacy - Hey, these are stretch pants! I'm wearing stretch pants!
(Stacy panics and starts to hyperventilate; Sandi rushes over, grabs her arms, and shakes)
Sandi - They're leggings! They're leggings!
(Stacy lets out a high-pitched squeak of relief)

At least they're not Stirrup Pants...

I am having seriously scary visions of bold, primary-color, geometric print oversized sweaters paired with an equaly bold color leggings/stirrup pants with slouchy suede boots for this Fall season.

If you can't invision the outfit I'm thinking of, watch some 1985-1986 era Facts of Life reruns. You'll shudder...Trust me.

If anyone ever tries to bring back the "BIG" hair of the 80's, I will slit my wrists. I am originally from Georgia and I think that us Georgia girls had the biggest hair this side of the Mason Dixon line.

It has to be. No one in their right mind would smile wearing that tragedy of an outfit - no matter how much $$$ they were paid.

Excuses for bodysuits:

Cheerleading


Babies


Sports (although can be questionable still)


Superheros


If you do not fall into any of those categories...leave the bodysuit in the closet (in the far back with the rest of the 80's wear).

This thread makes me laugh. In all seriousness, keep length in mind. You'll be sitting, standing and possibly squatting at events where seating is scarce. You might even sit on the floor in some cases to play a getting-to-know-you game.

Dark or light denim is fine (dark is my personal preference-- more slimming and looks classier). Don't go with any crazy holes or distressed fabric. Ripped material is never appropriate for recruitment, even if the event is casual.

Urban Outfitters had stirrup pants on their website a few months ago It gave me flashbacks of my scary first grade teacher who always wore them with her matching Sam & Libby flats.

Oh, yeah, I guess it is. I didn't even notice.
