Leg warmers are pretty high on the list (I was never a dancer, so you can imagine what sort of outfits they graced.) Giant slouchy shirts with low-slung belts were not the best look. However, I think the multiple earrings in each ear, that did not match any other earring, including those in the other ear, are pretty much the pinnacle of embarrassing.MommyTimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12860003098383600806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-42317148649660542012009-08-15T14:04:06.403-04:002009-08-15T14:04:06.403-04:00I'm totally going to list pom-pom socks as a r...I'm totally going to list pom-pom socks as a reason for my eventual suicide.Aunt Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12146687582842259611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455477065088022337.post-32785934253975463022009-08-15T13:05:50.712-04:002009-08-15T13:05:50.712-04:00Aren't these making a comeback?
