I Love The 80s


I didn't chose this photo so much for the hair as the outfit. I have such vivid memories of this windcheater - I thought it was the coolest thing. Tight, banana, and a khaki palm tree. HOT!!!! And tell me you had shoes like these! They were 'ice cubes' and I had them in about 3 different colours. Jeeez they must have been uncomfortable. A slave to fashion way back then. By the way this is 1981.

You look like I could only ever have dreamed of looking. Too cool. My absolute favourite 80s outfit was lemon too & bought from "centrefold".

Ice cube shoes were so hot - my mum never let me have them -she thought they were bad for your feet because they had no arch or something.....I always wanted a pair!!!I need to go to my mums and find some christmas photos for you!!

I think they might have been call ice cubes because walking in them was as dangerous as walking on ice. Slippery as Hell.

Funky, though.

Love the shoes - I had completely forgotten about those! I had them in a few colours as well, but remember my lemon pair which I used to wear with a lemon towelling dress, with a strap that joined in the front and split to go over my shoulders. When I look back, I am sure I should have been wearing it over my bathers or something, but I had it for "best". What was my Mum thinking??
Great hear in that photo!

I had also forgotten about those shoes! Walking in them was just awful, but they were so COOL! And, in keeping with the '80s: NOT...
