Make your own Flashdance-style sweatshirts. I cut up my summer camp hooded sweatshirt (before they were even called hoodies) and my mom was horrified.

Classic Ray Ban sunglasses
Vans with floral patterns. We had to drive to Sunshine House in Ocean City to get those. Others have mentioned my first thoughts - Britches Great Outdoors (I wish I hadn't tossed the rugby shirt!) and Jams. Commander Salamander anything. Pins with sayings on them pinned all over the lapels of thrift store blazers. High top Chuck Taylors. Scrunchy socks. Even better - two pairs of scrunchy socks in different colors, preferably worn with the Chucks. Piling on - 2 colors of those socks and Chucks worn with camouflage pants (socks showing, camouflage rolled up or tucked in). At the peak... Everything above, with two layered polo shirts (Polo, Izod, or Britches acceptable, nothing else, and you never mixed brands when layered) with the collars up. Or was that just me? |

Reebok high tops (with2pairs of slouchy socks)
Jordache striped jeans with ankle zippers Gasoline two- toned jeans Bongo jean minis Santa Cruz madras pants and skirts Those web belts that doubled as headbands- like Madonna wore Panama Jack tees White jazz oxfords as regular shoes I Ski sunglasses And I'm pretty sure I was the lone lemon in my school group who wasn't a member of Members Only. Still scarred. |
| And I'm doubly nostalgic tonight- Pretty In Pink was on cable today. Ah, Blaine... |

Layering outback reds, with guess jeans, and scunchy socks to match the shirts, over your jeans. Calvaricchi jeans too!

I loved Tweeds. I also loved allen + allen. And many more brands already mentioned. Good times! |
| I still have -and use- my jewelry box Caboodles. |
