Let's go back in time today

Eleanor, Nancy, Alma 1989 U of Chicago visit
How many sartorial tragedies can you find in this 1989 photo of me with my mom and sister? Let's see... I'm wearing loud capri pants, orange socks, fake Keds... and a fanny pack! Fortunately, my sister is showing equally bad taste with her high-waisted acid wash gianto jean shorts and tucked-in beefy-T.

As for Mom's clothes? I'm pretty sure she still has (and wears) both the tee and white pants.

Incidentally, this photo was taken on my first trip to Chicago. Mom and Dad showed us around their alma mater, and we ate lunch at the Med.

Five years later, I would be a first year.

The pants are bad, but I'm not so much a fan of the floral dress you wore in the dorm either. :-)

I am starting to be as embarrassed by my nineties pics as my 80s pics. The chunkiness of the jewel-toned sweaters. The wearing of t shirts that would fit someone who weighs 50 lbs more than I do. Oh my.

What, are you hating on my baggy Laura Ashley inspired rayon sundress and NAOT sandals?

Oh yeah, they do kinda suck.

Oh, too funny! We all have those photos hidden under the bed.

Those colors are back in. Going to Target and TJMax (I know, not the epicenters of high fashion)--flashbacks. Black and jewel toned checked jackets. total 80s and it's back.

Maybe we'll see the high waisted jeans, but I doubt it.
