QotD: Looking Back...

What part of your childhood do you miss the most?
Submitted by Maretta.

You know.....I decided that when I thought of my childhood, I thought of the 80's. Yes, I am an 80's child. I wish I had pictures to show (YGRS  has them), but I do not. I loved the 80's. The movies, the music, THE CLOTHES! Which funny enough are BACK!! The 80's fashions are SO back in style! Makes me giggle. I feel like I am too old to be dressing in these fads, because once they are gone, I'll be left with crazy looking 80's clothes (I don't outgrow my clothes anymore). My daughter, however, CAN.....and does.

I remember I used to have those black lace gloves with no fingers (just like Madonna did). I WORSHIPED Madonna in the 80's....wasn't she just the coolest?? Oh and let's not forget Micheal Jackson in the day! My sister had the glove and I had a jacket like his. I adored Prince and has his pictures (from Purple Rain of course) on my walls. I would wear "clashing" patterns (polka dot shirt with striped pants), mix matched socks and converse sneakers.

Man...those were the days! I am sort of jealous my daughter gets to relive these fashions....and yet at the same time, I am over it. But I STILL to this day prefer 80's music over other music!

So, I salute you 80's decade, with these great pictures! Enjoy!!
