Plaid was popping up everywhere after the release of this film & 80's prep style was on the rise! Pleated skirts that sat just above the knee, colored opaque tights & ballerina flats all topped off with a fitted padded shouldered jacket. I remember this style all to well as I have to confess I actually dressed liked this!
I haven't seen this style make a return since it was once popular, but you just never know..It will probably come back on racks in the not too distant future. One lesson to be learned from following fashion trends is I always make sure to hang onto pieces that were once all the rage because "what's old always becomes new again....eventually."
