Other than that, though... well, same fine sense of style!

I SO owned the same coat that the brother on the right is wearing! In the early 80's, it transformed perfectly into an "Urban Cowboy" outfit with the addition of a good hat and tight jeans tucked into boots. <<And, uh, that's ME in the middle of this one: <a href="http://www.wahicols.com/apps/a...9&id=164>>" target="_blank">http://www.wahicols.com/apps/a...>></a> AHH! The plaid pants! I'd forgotten those! What a perfectly Bonaducci look!

Now, we just saw the pics above. When showed this picture, she said, "Oh, that's cute!" When pressed, she said that the waves and they way the guys were "layered" was cute. In a '70s way. So, there you go, DlandDug. You are vindicated in the eyes of today's Teenage Girl. xoxo <<And, uh, that's ME in the middle of this one: <a href="http://www.wahicols.com/apps/a...9&id=164>>" target="_blank">http://www.wahicols.com/apps/a...>></a>

The yellow polyester shirt I wore underneath it. My Calvin Klein jeans. Short shorts with contrast stitching. Clogs. Preppy wool crew-neck sweaters. >>> Are you SURE you weren't in the Village People?

Originally Posted By LadyKluck <---had to look up what a porkpie hat was.... Doesn't exactly go with tattoos and biker boots does it? Then again neither does a fanny pack!!
