NEVER!!! It was okay to wear them when I was like 10, but no, they need to stay back in the 80s along with the leggings under the mini skirts and bangle bracelet trends!!!

Between stirrup pants and skinny jeans, fashion is going nowhere fast. I dont know why skinny jeans are so popular. Nobody looks good in them unless you're a size 0-2 with no body fat and no curves.

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

I don't even dare you! Those are THE worst fashion trend to come out of the 80s! I will NEVER wear those hideous things again and if I catch anyone wearing them on the street, I will throw tomatoes at them and call Stacey and Clinton of What Not to Wear.

Don't do it!

Oh wow, you're kidding? There's no way. I probably owned a pair in every color in elementary school. Once is enough. :-)

Hmmm... Buying anything only for comfort is usually disastrous. I would say a big no to stir-up pants unless you are an equestrian and going horse back riding.

Although, done right, some of the 80's fashions are pretty darn cute. The leggings under the mini is adorable. Too bad I wasn't 21 with very long legs, otherwise I totally would attempt it. And this winter I will try the skinny jeans with the tall boots and over-sized sweater. I think that is a very cute look.

Y'all keep mentioning the eighties, but I know I was wearing those things up until I graduated college in '99.

I think some of the fashions making their comeback are cute, though I wouldn't necessarily try to pull them off.

But if we have to start teasing our hair and spraying it with AquaNet again, I am going to drop dead right here.

Oh, wow.

They say if you wore the fashion the first time around, you shouldn't the second. I definitely had stirrup pants in grade school/middle school (as well as frost pink lipstick, big hair, knee-length tops, and acid wash jeans), so I guess I'm out. {{Shudder}}

AJ, enjoying life with C.

INTERVENTION ALERT!!!!!!!!!

OK, everyone, gather around Shy and link hands.

Shy - we are only doing this because we love you. Put down the stirrup pants. They can only lead to bad things. You say it's just one pair for "comfort" and then suddenly you have another pair and then another. Before you know it, you will be wandering the streets in stained sweatpants and only buying things with elastic waistbands. Stop now while you still can.

Thanks for the laugh, Jules.


Don't worry.
