Peer Pressure: 80s Clothes

Peer Pressure: 80s Clothes

Tell us about a time you bent to peer pressure.

Remember the 80s? The music was good but the clothes were horrible. I cringe whenever I see a shaker sweater or a Member’s Only jacket.
I wore those clothes because it’s what other people wore. I didn’t really want to stick out. Really, what choice did I have? I was a kid that didn’t know how to sew. I wish I could’ve made my own clothes, like Molly Ringwald in “Pretty in Pink.” However, the odds of looking like a hobo would be much higher.
Since I was only a kid, I didn’t have a job. So I wore what my parents bought -sometimes under extreme protest. I wasn’t allowed to dress like Madonna. The outfit in the “Lucky Star” video was my favorite.
I’m so glad the 80s are over. No more big hair or shaker sweaters. However, I am old enough to dress like Madonna. Maybe too old.

“Just a small town girl – living in a lonely world.” Concert tickets are practically essential. Musicals are the key to life. I like movies, music,books, and corny jokes.
