Leggings Flashback

March 22, 2008 by WendyB

Terri Berry, my gorgeous sister, was recently reminiscing about my college uniform of Danskin leggings and Hanes men’s t-shirts. She forgot to mention my denim jacket and red Gap cardigan.

Paris 1989

Amsterdam 1989

With family friends in Stuttgart
1989

Looks like I packed pretty light for that European vacation, eh? I can remember handwashing those leggings in a hotel sink.

    But you were very “of the moment”, so that’s fine. Can’t help noticing how tiny you were standing in between your friends 🙂

    Awww! Cutest Wendy Brandes ever! I want to ruffle your 80s hair and go to the mall with you in matching denim jackets!

    You look pretty hot in those leggings, and that is hard to do. I could totally see Vera Wang in that last outfit.

    Very chic. I love Hanes Men’s t-shirts, I wear them under everything, though I would never have the guts to wear leggings (and they look good on you too!).

    Ha ha, Becky, we can be the denim jacket gang.
    As for whether it looks current, I’m sure you young gals could look great in this outfit — minus the fluffy hair!

    do you think they’ll bring back the leggings with the lace trim?

    i thought they were so cool… esp with my babydoll dresses.

    oy.

    Awe so cute. I used to pair my leggings with neon shirts and matching socks. I’m totally thinking about pulling that look out sometime in the near future.

    OMG! Love it! I would have thought you were one of the coolest chicks! Heck – you still are! Remember the ones with the lace at the bottom? I kinda miss those 😉
