A lot of the fashion choices we made in the 80s weren't out finest moments, but you know what, we have to live with it. The fact of the matter is, the popular styles were very different than they are now. We should probably just embrace our bad choices right? Own up to the embarrassing memories?
Well, let's get into the biggest fashion mistake we are all guilty of: Shoulder pads. They were big, they were excessive, and they were everywhere.
All of our favorite stars wore them, our friends wore them, and of course we wore them as well. Looking back, I'm not sure what about large shoulders seemed like a good idea, but we all did it and it's time to face the music.
When I said excessive, I meant it
They absolutely made a statement
And that statement was "Hey, have you noticed my shoulders?"
It was never subtle
Even in a crisp white suit they were a lot to take
Whether you dressed them up or dressed them down, they were ever present
Perfect for work...
Or an elegant night out
And they just keep getting worse...
Even our Working Girl had to pump up those shoulders
Even our sweaters weren't free from the accentuated shoulders
There must have been a reason for the crazy shoulder pads right?
You know what will make them better? Add some jewels to them...
There was no escaping the shoulder pads
I mean, even capes had padding?
There is no point in trying to avoid it, shoulder pads will forever be a part of our past

It was always so hard to roll out of bed, get to school, and try to stay awake during morning classes. But there was always one thing keeping us going through the lessons and work: lunchtime. There would be trades around the classroom, sometimes someone would be nice enough to let people have a scoop of their Dunkaroos frosting, but if one thing is for certain, finding any of these items in our lunch would make any day better!LunchablesMemory GlandsThese were the bomb. What could be better than pizza, snacks, and dessert in a box? Being the chef to
Growing up, there was nothing better than a slumber party. You got to eat all the best snacks, watch all the best movies, and stay up all night long with your very best friends. There were a lot of hours to fill at these slumber parties, so we needed a lot of games to keep us busy. Sure, they drove our parents nuts, but we had more important things to do!NBCDid we get told to quiet down? Of course, at least ten times! Did it stop us at all? Not in the least. Our parents always wondered what we
