So my 20 yr reunion is just around the corner...July 17-19 weekend. I seriously can't believe it's been 20 yrs since highschool. The best thing is that I have kept in touch with quite a few people and now with MySpace and email and other methods, I have reconnected with so many more people. I dug up some pictures that I thought would be fun to share!

You still look great! At least you didn't have the 80's girl mullet like me!
ReplyDeleteIt's crazy how fast the years go by the older we get...have a great time! I had my 20 year in 2005 (yep I'm an 80's girl too!) and had sooo much fun!
Don't forget to take tons of pics...especially any old crushes, it's funny to see how much they've changed!
Visiting from SITS!
ReplyDeleteLove those old pictures, they bring back memories.
lovin the little bo peep dresses and poofy hair!.... and of course the popped collar.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it scary how the 80's style is trying to return?! I had big hair, leg warmers, twistabeads and parachute pants. I even had the Michael Jackson jacket! LOL
ReplyDeleteBut I love the whole flipped up collar thing! I still do it now.... is this a bad thing?
ReplyDeleteHey you look even better now! Way to go mama. Congrats on your SITS day!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day! It's great that you've kept in touch with people over the years!
ReplyDeleteLove the hair! I need to go back and look at mine.
ReplyDeleteLove your pics. Sad how fast time goes by. Enjoy your kids before they graduate. Thanks for sharing. Stop by and visit some time.
ReplyDeleteCheryl
Whoa. How did you manage to get through the 80's with cute hair? You look fabulous. Then and now.
ReplyDeleteI second that...getting through the 80's with cute hair? Unheard of.
ReplyDeleteAND you still look awesome to boot!
I'm visiting from SITS! My 20 year reunion is this year two ~ love the big hair!
ReplyDeleteWoo! Man, I have a huge soft spot for the big hair and bad fashions of the late 80s... probably because I was class of '89 myself! :D Yep, that means *my* 20th reunion is coming up in May. How did we get so....so.....so OLD?!?! I mean, we're like totally grown-ups now, you know? EEK!
ReplyDeleteCheers!
Awesome! I'm not far away from my 20th either...and I'm so glad to meet another single mom!
ReplyDeleteThose are great dresses! Ha! And I love the garters!
ReplyDeleteEvery time I see '80s photos, I am brought right back to high school!
ReplyDeleteBig hair, big shoulder pads, upturned collars, techno pop music ... what were we thinking?
I don't miss the hair or fashions, but I do love that you were/are able to stay in touch. :D
ReplyDeleteYou looked (and still do look) awesome. I just went to my hubby's 20th and they looked great too.
ReplyDeleteGotta love the crazy dresses. I think I got jipped going to high school at the turn of the millenium.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the dresses! Sadly, they'll probably be in style again soon. LOL
ReplyDeleteI am loving that while I am looking at this post you have NKOTB playing...how appropriate!
ReplyDeletehehe! Your senior picture is fabulous! And I dig the prom pictures. ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you had a great reunion...looking back at old pics is so much fun and it always seems like it was just yesterday!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your reunion! Mine was in April and we had a great time. Unlike you I am not brave enough to post picutures from that time in my life!
ReplyDeleteYou're a brave, brave woman. LOL
ReplyDeleteI don't think I could pull my h.s. pix out AND post. *shudder*
The popped collar is classic!
You do look great! The other comments are TRUE!
ReplyDelete:)
Nice prom dress, too!
That is so totally awesome! LOL! I graduated in 1987 so I can totally relate!
ReplyDeleteI love the dresses :)
ReplyDeleteI think your pictures look really pretty! I wish the girls still wore those pretty, frothy dresses. Today's styles are meant to be "hot," not young and fresh. I hope your reunion is great!
ReplyDeleteThe gloves were just the best! Loved 'em! And I think the term "better with age" applies here---you three really do look better 20 years down the road!
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day :)!
my 20-yr reunion would be next year; I still remember when my MOTHER went to HER 20-yr reunion...! where did time go?? hope you had fun! :)
ReplyDelete*MWAH!*
Tanya
Congrats on being featured today! Love the pics. My 20 yr reunion came & went I believe but no one contacted me. Hmmmmm.
ReplyDeleteYou look better than ever!
ReplyDeleteWe just had our 20th...it's nice to see others that went to school around the same time as I did.
ReplyDeleteyour pics are great!
~simply~
Happy SITS day! Love the photos...nice popped collar ;)
ReplyDeleteI love that picture in your header, it makes me homesick for Washington! *Sigh*. Hey - we have kids the same age -well almost - my son is 11 and in the 6th grade, my daugther is 9 and in 4th grade. I also have a 19 mo. old. Cool! BTW - Love the hair, AND the flipped up collar! ;)
ReplyDeleteHi Trish! It's YOUR day! Yea for you! You are still looking great!
ReplyDeleteLike the pics.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day.
I think the popped collar is making a comeback... ! I have to admit it makes me giggle everytime I see some 17 year old boy in his pink polo shirt with a popped collar and spikey hair, though.
ReplyDeleteI love the Madonna inspired lace gloves...girl you were rockin it!!
ReplyDeleteOMG the lace gloves were AWESOME.
ReplyDeleteHappy SITS day!
Nice to look at the old photos and remember when you were still skinny and cute. :) I keep one of mine on my desktop for days when I feel down.
ReplyDeletecongrats on your SITS day! love the pics! The 80s were fabulous... =)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your SITS day! Such a cute blog and so fun to read!!!
ReplyDeleteThose are some great pictures! Isn't it funny how you feel so mature at the time. The you look back and realize that you were SUCH a baby and didn't even know it.
ReplyDeleteLove the hair and those dresses.
Girl, the dress and the hair are FAB!
ReplyDeleteIt sure is amazing how fast the time goes by. My 20 yr was last year. Missed it though. I don't feel like I'm old enough to have been out of HS for 20years!
ReplyDeleteLooks like you had fun though! Hapy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteI loved the 80's...and you had great hair, honestly. Usually you see terrible hair-dos of that era but, not you...lovely. I love the prom dresses!
ReplyDeleteWell Maverick, it appears formal dresses didn't change all that much after I graduated in '82... I see the 'Ball Gown' look was still in with a lot of ruffles and satin. And the hair, Oh Yes, the hair!
ReplyDeleteOver and out!
:-)
My husband graduated in 88 too, and we were going through his old yearbook this summer, laughing at the hair and fashions that were "so cool" once upon a time! Honestly though, you have the best 80's hair I've seen-your senior pictures are very pretty. The homecoming picture brought back memories of my peach saatin & lace Jessica McClintock formal dress! :)
ReplyDelete1988, I was in the process of getting a divorce from a terrible abusive ex! I moved from CA back to my home in FL! All I took was two kids 1/12 and 4 1/2 along with three randomly packed suitcases! I feel like I missed the whole decade of the 1980's!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being spotlighted on Sista's! Big hugs to you, raising two kids alone is not easy!
You girls were rocking that lace! You remind me of 80s teen movie stars in those pics. You so could have been one :) My 15th would be this year. It's going too fast b/c I still feel like I just graduated...
ReplyDeleteLove the dresses. Time does fly by. I'm glad some of the days are gone like the pegged pants thing. I hated that!
ReplyDeleteWow...those were the days!! Congrautlations on your SITS Day!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cutie you are! Those dresses are fantastic!
ReplyDeleteI still put my collar up once in a while in the morning... just to bring back memories. I always put it back down before I leave the house. But, haha... I loved the 80s.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your 87 Homecoming dress. I'd wear it now (if I had an occasion)! Happy SITS day!
ReplyDeleteYou guys are CUTE! I love the 80's pics and I LOVE that you all are still friends. Really cute post.
ReplyDeleteIt seems surreal to think that I have been out of school for 20 years...I can't tell you how many of the "boys" are bald...if only we could tell our 16 yrold selves that those guys are not worth the tears...Great blog
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the lace half-gloves!!! Too funny...my 20 year is creeping up also; gosh that's scary...feels just like yesterday!
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why did we do this to ourselves??? ;-)
ReplyDeleteCongrats on being saucy!
First of all...we always say, "Talk to me Goose!" over here! LOL!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'm loving the pics! Love the garter belts...nice touch! ;D
You totally make me want to go post of old pics up of my friends now!
Happy SITS Day!
We didn't have a 20th reunion...unless THEY did and didn't invite me! ;) LOL! LOVE the 80s pix, though! Happy SITS day! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's so awesome when you are able to continue those great friendships from high school. Sometimes they are the most important ones.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your SITS day!!!
I can't stop laughing. I think I had that same hair style... the garters...bwahahahaha
ReplyDeleteI love you all your girls coordinated the color of your dresses each year, lol.
ReplyDeleteFunny how I remember those 80s styles only because of the TV shows I used to watch. I apologize to inform you, I was in elementary school in the 80s!! heehee!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a feature on SITS!!
Those dresses were fabulous! I love the garters!
ReplyDeleteI love the pictures. It's always so much fun to see that I wasn't the only one looking silly many moons ago!
ReplyDeleteWhat memories! I just had my 20th last year (which I did not go to) and have such great memories of the 80's. Thanks for the fashion reminders!
ReplyDeleteI think the only thing missing in those photos is the hoop skirts! That's what I had at my 85 prom, my SITSter!
ReplyDeleteI am having flashbacks with the dresses and the hairdos!!!
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a fab time at your reunion!!
Happy SITS Day!! Bask in your comment love!!
The lace! The hair! The garters!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd do I see baby's breath in the hair!
;)
Your the second blog in two days that I have been on talking about their 20th reunion. I am said to say I didn't make mine. It was either south Beach or Saint Joe MO! You can guess what I picked! Love your dresses.
ReplyDeleteMy 20 year reunion is NEXT year, and I absolutely canNOT wait, it is going to be so fun.
ReplyDeleteDon't you just love seeing your old pals from school?!?!
SOOOOO many memories.
ahhhhhh.
This made me nostalgic.
I loved being a teenager. I miss those carefree days!!
You still look amazing! I love how you girls were swimming in all of that lace and taffeta. Very Footloose.
ReplyDelete20 years have been good to you. How time just slips away from us though. Happy late SITS day.
ReplyDeleteWhat fun pictures! Loved the trip down your memory lane. :o)
