Man all I can think is that she needs to eat a sandwich. Her hair is cute though. I think Tom Cruise must have a few things wrong with him.

Incidentally, I got my hair cut this weekend and the stylist cut my bangs in the style that was popular around the same time as these pegged jeans. Let’s just say that some things were meant to stay in the past.

Oh the French rolled jeans…LOL!!
Yeah, we definitely did the layering slouch sock (as bright as you could get them) technique in my “neck of the woods” for sure (you weren’t the only one Katie!!)
It’s really weird to see it come back.

We called them French rolled jeans in Ohio. I was only allowed to wear two pairs of socks. My mom thought three was tacky. Because two is totally normal.

I don’t remember having to buy my shoes a size up, but then I never really could pull off more than 2 pairs of slouch socks. Maybe the girls who wore 3 or 4 had to buy their shoes big. Ah, slouch socks!!!

Slouch socks ruled. My mom would never buy them for me so I had to covet other peoples. It must have been pretty bulky wearing three different colors at a time. Did people have to go up a shoe size?

I can not believe pegged pants are coming back! I loved the style in the 80s, but I don’t think I’ll be conforming this time around.

We definitely called this “pegging” your pants!!! I can’t believe it came back. Soon they’ll be pegging them up even higher and wearing multicolored slouch socks underneath. Or was that only in my neck of the woods?

I was JUST talking about the return of pegged jeans! (Peg roll- in my mind, French roll is a classic up-do hairstyle) It actually was a flattering look for my short legs, plus I didn’t have to shorten my jeans, either. This could be the start, or rather, return, of something good.
