I started out the decade "clubbing" at the Dixie (for any of you from Dayton) and ended it "Married with Children" by giving birth to child #3. Wow!
Sounds like me. I was a college coed at the start of the 80's, and by the end, I had two kids and another on the way!

Where I lived, fashion meant: PREPPY!

Laura Ashley floral dresses that looked like tents (they made great maternity dresses after college)

Mexican dresses (ditto the tent look)

Skirts or walking shorts (denim or otherwise) with button down shirts and cumberbunds,

And flat pumps and hose (yuck!).

We even wore this type thing to class every day - with lots of makeup and big hair.

I had one of those Mexican dresses too! It was bright blue with heinous pink and yellow flowers all down the center. My mom brought it home from a trip to Mexico but I never wore it...I loaned it to my friend to wear who wanted to wear it for an "Alpha Phi-esta" theme day for her chapter's rush, and she never gave it back. My mom is still asking me where that dumb dress is!!!

What concerts did you see in the 80s?

I saw Steve Winwood, Thompson Twins, Berlin, The Kinks, The Clash, Rush. I'm sure there were more.

Chicago, The Bangles, Mister Mister, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers, ... U2 on their Joshua Tree tour, which still ranks in the top 10 of concerts ever.
