I love all of these, Bren, especially the ones you made! I used to save some that you could cut out from a woman's magazine that were all positive and uplifting with plans to laminate them in the future, but it is one of my projects that I never did just like my scrap booking plans, etc. So many unfinished and unstarted projects.....I still have the cardboard/hang tag clothing tags off of clothes that I saved from the 80's while working as a retail sales clerk with plans to turn them into a giant collage for the wall shaped like a hang tag. I can still see it in my mind.....

I love those zipper pants of yours! =) I remember calling them parachute pants and buying some for my boyfriend when I was 18 and he went away to college. HaHa! They were popular with the girls there! I told him so! He didn't think too much of them at first! I think I got him red ones too! HaHa! I had a mini skirt with zippers on both sides. I have a zipper dress that I saved that is a silver parachute material that I got at this cool store called Merry Go Round in the mall, but, no, unfortunately, I don't have many cool older 80's clothes left, since I got rid of most of that years ago. I regret giving away all of my old T-shirts that I wore, especially my Mork from Ork ones.

My Mork rainbow suspenders are gone now too, given away or sold at the flea market.........I still have at least one pin back button though, but sold/gave away my Mork doll.
