Weekend Assignment #149: Reveal Your Teenage Fashion Disasters! Yes, whether it's big hair, Nehru jackets, acid-washed jeans or an ill-advised tattoo, let us know what about your style as a teenager you would change today.Here I am again, working on one of John's weekend assignments on Monday morning, trying to squeeze it in before he starts updating. My teenage fashion disaster was one of exclusion. There was no fashion.
Extra Credit: Are you kidding? Pictures, baby!
My high school uniform was runners, jeans, and a t-shirt. In fact, if you check out the annual school yearbook pictures I posted in this old entry, you'll see that, so unadventurous was my wardrobe, that I was wearing the same t-shirt in both the 1981 and '82 photos.
No, if you want to talk about fashion disasters with me, you have to go back long before my teenage years. When I was quite a bit younger than that, my grandmother used to buy me outfits, for my birthday and Christmas, that were quite interesting. I'm sure they were the height of fashion...if I had been Austin Powers, maybe.
What's that? Evidence, you say?
Oh, behave!

Grovy, baby. Your parents and grandma had a sense of humor, eh? I don't have any photos of my child-self but I do recall a pair of hideous purple and white bell bottoms. Thanks for sharing the photo.--Cin
Oooh, Paul, you look like a character from the original Star Trek series, one of the people they meet on Gamma Cetii VI or some such. Maybe the head legislator: First Dorkus Plittle.
I still have a pair of sea-green bell bottoms hanging in my closet, just as a reminder. Maybe if I can dig up some weed and get high enough, I'll put them on, take a picture, and post it............

Oh God ,Paul I can not stop laughing!!! I have to ask, was that an all in one type tunic or was it a turtle neck and v-neck over it? My, how fashion savvy to belt-it! /are you sure that wasn't one of your sister's old jumpers?
Tee, I'm pretty sure that was all one piece, including the belt.

Obi Wan and The Early Days of Disco.
Not too many people could pull off such a look, Paul. I tip my hat to you!
