Hmmmm... We lived in different areas in the 80s, Tea, so I'm guessing that's why there are a few differences in what you stated and what I'm about to state. (I lived in central Illinois, not too far from the U of I Urbana-Champaign campus. I lived much closer to Danville, Illinois, though!)
Wow... This is a bit hard for me to remember. (I don't seem to remember much of the 80s, even though I was born in 78.) I remember striped shirts that were too big for me. People usually wore some shirts hanging off of one shoulder. Mismatching earrings were big, especially when one was a stud earring and one was dangly. Tapered jeans were in. Tight-rolled jeans were in. ack Bright pink lips were in, and they were usually paired with combinations of purple, pink, blue, and green eyeshadow. hehehe and triangles of funky colored blush. Rainbow bangs were in. (Big, crunchy, hairsprayed, teased bangs... *_*) Trapper Keepers were really big. (I know, they don't really count as fashion, but...) If you'd like to see some semi-80s fashions, I would reccommend watching the Baby-Sitter's Club videos, even though they were made in the early 90s. There really wasn't that much of a difference in fashion. Watch Punky Brewster... Ummm... Three's Company would be a better reference for the late 70s, rather than the 80s...
