ACCKK! You take that back! Next thing you know you'll be predicting the return of stirrup pants! |
:hurl: Stirrup pants were just not flattering.
Paula, you described the peg thing well, also, picture the high top sneakers with big scrunched up socks that connect the top of the sneaker to the bottom of the pegged jeans, maybe with a little of your shins showing. Oh what a look that was.
We used to wear these long knit shirts over them. Or, in my case, a Whitesnake t-shirt or something like that.
Oh yeah, and in the early 80's it was pointy shoes with little socks that had lace trim, another fantastic look. Oh we had tons of 'em.
