Well there is officially only four more days until school starts. The shopping is mostly done and what the kids don't have now they will have to wait until after the first day.Has anyone else noticed that the cost of back to school clothes has increased every year. Maybe it is not so much that I noticed before but now that I have a Middle School-er in my house now it seems that the cost of everything has gone up. It could be that the cheap Walmart items that were good before are no longer acceptable. Now he wants the name brand of everything. We have had to make compromises. No skulls on t-shirts. He will not be looking like a hoodlum.
I don't quite remember this happening to me when I was in school. Maybe it was because I lived in a very small town and you had to drive 1.5 hours away just to get to a mall. The closest store there was was Walmart.
I do remember having to have a pair of Jordache pants with the bow and zipper on the back of the leg. Do you remember those? Well ladies and gents.They are making a come back! As a matter of fact I found Andrea a pair. They are so cute!As soon as she wears them I will make sure that I post a picture of them.
I so remember those jeans not to mention the peg fold,stirrup pants,slouch socks,and my favorite leg warmers.
What are some of the favorite styles that are coming back in style are you going to dig in your closet to find?

I can't believe the 80's are back! Remember the t-shirt buckle things that we put on to tie our oversized t-shirts off to the side? How about the neon colored jeans of the early 90's? I totally saw them everywhere while I was out back to school shopping. I personally don't really dig the 80's and 90's styles coming back though.... must be because I had some pretty hideous combinations. I do like the skinny jeans though!
I loved stirrups but wont be digging them out of my closet.....just a little bigger than what I was back then....lol.
As for the cost of school clothes....one of the benefits of school over here is all kids HAVE to wear uniforms...even the state schools - and I have never seen a brand name pair of green tracksuit pants......hehehe.
Stirrups! OMG! I totally remember these! And the slouch socks. For me it was boots. I wanted these cowboy-ish boots because all the girls had them. I got them and they were blue with silver studs! I thought I was so cool I wore them even with jogging suits (remember those)? I cannot wait to see a picture of Andrea in those jeans!
I do remember the jeans with the zipper and bow on the back of the leg! You'll have to post a picture of Andrea in her jeans - I'm sure she looks adorable in them! I remember the stirrups, t-shirts off to the side with a buckle thing, and the slouch socks - too funny!
