I played pogs for a long time. I remember going to a special store to buy them really cheap. Then I decided it was boring and started the fad of playing marbles at my elementary school. It was very exciting.
Oooo...I definitely did the slap bracelets too until my school banned them.
When I was in 6th grade, it seemed every girl had at least one of many short-sleeved, ribbed t-shirts from Limited Too, that just said Limited Blue Jeans in small print at the top. I fell for it. I think I had one in three different colors.
slap bracelets and french rolled jeans. why, oh why was I such a fool? When wide leg jeans came out, I was like, "why have I been torturing myself with this stupid french rolled things?"
also, when I was in Junior High, big cheesy rings were in...I had a few.
Oh, ladies, I feel old! I don't even know what pogs are! And I vaguely remember my little brother playing with slap bracelets. It's amazing how just a few years makes such a difference when you're little! When I was a kid, I collected Garbage Pail Kid cards and loved wearing anything "jelly" (bracelets, shoes) and neckties. Ah, the '80s!
I am having the hardest time thinking of something for this... I definitely had several pairs of leg warmers in the 80s... I also had a few different pairs of jelly shoes. That's all I can think of! And I was finished with both of those by the time I was 5
Stephanie- I do remember doing that for a short period of time! Maybe I was slightly more "fashionable" than I remember being... :) Or just a little bit dorkier than I care to remember!

ReplyDeleteI had snap bracelets and I had those slides that you gather the side of your long t-shirt and pull them through. and high tops
ReplyDeleteSlap bracelet, pogs, and leggings. Oh those were the days.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if being moody and rude to my family counts as a fad... shameful.

ReplyDeleteLaura, I feel the same! Pogs? What the heck are those! I was into jellly anything, and had my share of bracelets and shoes.
ReplyDeleteI was into acid-washed denim, too. And permed hair.

ReplyDeleteIn addition to the others mentioned, I remember the fad of wearing my sweatshirts inside out. Was that a common thing, or just at my school??? lol.
ReplyDeleteI remember wearing ties, maybe that was just my school... Do you remember the topsy tail ponytail?
