As I was doing laundry this afternoon, I put away my 5 year old daughter's knit poncho and was reminded of how awesome my ponchos were (yes, multiple). So I thought I would share my fashion awesomeness from junior high and high school for Throw Back Thursday.
This first picture looks normal at first sight, but look down. Look at the awesome red roll up cuffs on my jeans. Awesome! Don't worry, I had a pair with aqua on the bottom too. I think this was the first day of 8th grade, so you realize I developed an awesome sense of style early. I think that was also the year I bought a shirt with a fuzzy duck on the front when I went school shopping. I'm a little sad I couldn't find a picture, because that was even more awesome than the pants.
Next is the poncho! Sorry, this is a one of a kind, made by me, poncho. Please don't be too disappointed. My dear friends lovingly referred to this poncho as "the rug." But I still wore it! I was dang proud of it, in fact! I put a lot of time and work into knitting it and I really didn't care what anyone else thought. It now sits in a box in my attic. It's just to awesome to get rid of!
And for your viewing pleasure, pancho #2! You don't get the full effect since I am sitting, but it was almost as great at the rug!
I think my very favorite fashion from high school was plaid! I owned two pairs of plaid pants and wore both regularly through college! Don't worry, I still have them as well. I don't wear them anymore, but I want to use them to make a quilt one day. Again, they are just to awesome to part with.
Now I can only hope my kids will be as fashion forward as I was!

Ponchos were all the rage when we were in jr. high! I had one, though I didn't join the trend until it was nearly over because I was resistant until my super cool aunt had one.
