Yes.. I remember stirrup pants also.. and those bells aren't really that huge.. I remember some elephant bells that were much more pronounced and larger than those. Anyone else remember the Palazzo pants.. talk about huge legs....oh my I also remember having a pair of platform saddle oxfords in brown and beige...

All we could do but wear what is in style at the time, not much else to choose from. Kids now will look back and wonder what they were thinking, just like we do. My kids now in their mid - late forties cringe looking at their younger school pictures.
