HEE! Forgot about these! I remember a specific L''oreal lipstick that was iradescent (sp?) blue/pink ... "Sealily" or something ... I was obsessed with it ''cause I thought it made me teeth look whiter! (Funny - cause I don''t bleach now -- guess I should!!)
The "SunIn" was a whole orange-tinted tragedy for me. And stank to high heaven. Home Perms anyone?

OMG...SUN IN...I had totally forgotten about that!!!
I had a total hair fiasco with that when I was 14 and a freshman...I put some in my hair and used the hair dryer, but it hardly made any change. So I put the whole bottle in...and then went outside into the sun.
Yep, hair turned orange and my Mom was so mad, she made me GROW IT OUT rather than letting me get it colored and cut...WAH!!!!!

Leg warmers...anything neon, jelly shoes (sweaty feet, gross)...anything from the movie Flashdance or the first Madonna movie Desperately Seeking Susan (or any attempt to look like Madonna)...stripe streaks in the hair (chunky and totally a non natural shade)...black lip stick or nail polish, pinning your clothes together...gaucho pants or skorts or culottes...not that I did any of these (ahem)...

Oh my gosh, I tried that crap and ended up with platinum blonde streaks. Luckily, it only lasted a few weeks. It was horrible though.

Huge shoulder padded glamour dresses with a peplum waist worn with 5 inch stilettos

I have a good story about acid washed jeans.
I thought I would just do it myself. BAD IDEA.
I put rubber bands in, and tied up, a pair of jeans and left them in a very, very concentrated bleach solution (50% bleach?)
OVERNIGHT.
I washed ''em and wore them to school...they looked ''SO COOL'' but halfway through the day, when I bent over, RIIIIIIIP.
I went to the home ec teacher and got a bunch of safety pins....pinned up the crotch and various other areas...tried to squat ever so slightly to see if it would hold.... more RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIP...
I had to wear my bright hot pink gym sweatpants for the rest of the day. Talk about mortifying! There''s a fine line between fashion and ruining the integrity of the cloth.
I forgot that I also did the scrunchies and banana clips. That sun-in turned my hair a nasty shade of orange. Not exactly the color I was looking for!

Those midcalf boots with the scrunchy tops that you tucked your pant legs into.
I have to say, I have been around for a few decades and bar none, the 80''s were the worst fashionwise. I would have to say that goes for the decades that I wasn''t around too. Shoulder pads. Oversized, long sweaters. High top jeans. Those high necked blouses with the string ties...
I know there were more but I have chosen to block them out of my memory.

This thread is cracking me up, esp your Sun In disaster Mara...I did something called "Summer Blonde" and boy was that a disaster. My mom did let me get it colored again, but I think she told her stylist to really give it to me because he dyed it back to my natural color and then "highlighted" it with BURGUNDY thick stripes. I had to live for a few months with purple striped hair instead of the summer blonde pumpkin orange disaster. Sigh.
Ok here are mine:
80s:
Jellies
Coca Cola watch
Neon from head to toe
Leg warmers (blah)
Shoulder pads
Crazy belts...low slung V shaped belts worn low on the hips, telephone cord belts
Feathered hair, then BIG hair
Acid washed jeans
Reebok color high top gym shoes
BIG bow barrettes in my hair
Suede half boots with skinny heels
Banana clips
Adding jeweled studs to my jean jackets and jean pockets
Wearing an oversized t shirt and gathering the ends in a knot so it made it like a cutoff shirt
Stirrups
Crimping my hair!
90s:
Spandex shorts under a pair of denim cutoffs
Pegged pants of all kinds (jeans, black Cavaricci pants, blah)
Wearing lots of scrunchies at once in my hair
Big hair still
Flannel lumberjack shirts
Spiral perms
Long ankle length flower pattern skirts (sometimes with very matronly patterns
)
i could go on forever...heehee
It seems like so far the 00''s havent had any really crazy fashion trends that we will be seeing on VH-1s "I love the 2000s" in like 10 years, unless anyone can think of any!

FG, I seriously just laughed outloud at your story. I remember trying to do my own bleach too, not overnight though
I read this and realized that this trend is back. I''ve noticed girls wearing leggings under denim mini skitrs ...I actually thought i was cute. The next fashion trend.

''Long ankle length flower pattern skirts (sometimes with very matronly patterns)''
I still wear those if I want to be poetic and wistful
LOL. I still love long flowy skirts with flower patterns, I think it was probably more the terrible patterns I was thinking of that were the trend i fell under back in the day
