I know I sure did. I embraced it fully and rocked those mall bangs, side ponytails, and neon clothing. It suited my personality--loud, vibrant, excessive. I want someone to ask me what I was doing this day 21 years ago so I can tell them I was wearing the brightest neon outfit you've ever seen and posing on my old fireplace, getting ready to dance in the school talent show with my cousin and best friend. We thought we were hot stuff for sure. I can almost hear the Paula Abdul music playing right now.
These photos are pure blackmail but I feel comfortable posting them on the blog since there's only a handful of people that visit here. Posting these on Facebook would be a different story. Karen & Alexa would probably want to kill me.
Alexa and I were inseparable at this age and we acted like we were twins, wearing matching outfits and doing our hair the same. Those were some really fun, carefree days. I have amazing memories of being a kid and it was fun that a chunk of it fell in the 80's so we can have some great laughs when we look back at our awesome wardrobe choices.

OMG! You had totally awesome bangs!..and the side pony? Love it! I crack up remembering how cool we thought we were! Isn't so funny to think that your girls will look back at old pics and cringe like we do? I love it!
I loved the '80s too! They were such a special time for all of us - I'm sure for me because my three kidlings were so young. I miss those days!
