I can't believe I wore that!

In keeping with the theme of being utterly horrified by my taste in clothing in the 80's and 90's, I thought I would share my prom dress with you all.

But this one is a double whammy! Not only my dress but my HAIR. Good gosh!! I look like I am getting married! And the pearls! The huge puffy sleeves! The bows! Ahhhh!

This was for my then boyfriend's senior prom and I was a junior.

I was wearing super high heels, I am just a little over 5'2" and he is just shy of 6'. What a looker he was, huh?





Although I look like a Madonna wanna-be, we did have a wonderful night! He rented a stretch limo as a surprise, we had a great dinner and danced the night away.

His name is Jason and he was the sweetest! He is now a firefighter, happily married with two gorgeous children.

What did your prom dress look like?

I can't believe I wore that!

We all have those photos stored away somewhere that make us cringe and think "What was I thinking?!". I thought it would be fun to do a series of my bad 80's 90's style and share it with you all.

From the big bangs, to the pegged jeans, the list is never ending. So to start this off, I am going to pick on what was my favorite outfit at the time.


This is the best picture I have of it, so I will do my best to describe it to you. The only thing cool about this picture is that it was taken in front Billy Idol's gate, my Uncle lived next door to him. :o)





Let's start with the fabric. It was nice, soft comfy, white cotton, with speckled pastel dots. It was puffy painted across the chest (yes, puffy paint) with aqua, blue, pink, and lavender leaves. I believe it also had a lot of glitter on it.

It also looks like I am wearing a Swatch watch. Joy!




Not to be outdone by the top, the pants had a gorgeous matching leaf at the bottom. I am pretty sure I was about 14-15 in this picture, so that redeems me a bit, right? We won't even discuss the hair. LOL We can't see my earrings, but knowing me, they matched.


Tell me, did you ever own any fabulous puffy painted clothes?
