The 80's return...

I know that since I'm in the Midwest, we get fashion trends a little late, so if you've seen this phenomenon already, just humor me, OK?

Today I was walking over to the campus publications office to get my photo taken, when I was overwhelmed by the shear "80-ness" of some of the student's wardrobes. Big, volumous hair on some of the girls. Hot pink was the major color on shirts, tanks, flip-flops, backpacks, as well as a not-quite-lime, not-quite-kelly green. Most importantly, I saw two, yes two, gals wearing a solid color tank-top, a gauzy blouse, a denim miniskirt, and most importantly neon biker-shorts.

I swear, I felt like I was in highschool again for a moment. Then I realized that I now probably looked more like my English teacher than any student. Jeans, check. Button up shirt, check. Tie, check. Scruffy beard, check. Bad haircut, nope - I just got a decent one two days ago. So I'm safe. For now.
