What my mum and dad wore...

I found some old (very old) photos of my Mum and Dad from the 1980's. Check out the outfits (and the hair) but i think they look rather stylish.

Both these photos took in 1984. Top picture from left to right Katrina Jarvis (my mum), Marry Jarvis (My Nana), Harry Jarvis (My Gaga) in my Nana and Gaga's kitchen in Abingdon. Botton photo is my Mum looking beautiful as always.

Top photo is Paul Jarvis (My Dad) and the little baby is my older brother Joe Jarvis.
Bottom photo, which i love the clothes, is my Uncle. Those glasses! Typical fashion of the 1980's.
The bottom photo is one of my favourites. My Aunties and Uncles near the beach i think. But great photo for showing off the fashion. I know 'The Girls' want crazy colours and things that sparkle, but i do want to incorrupate some classic 80's styles. The stonewash jeans, washed out jumpers with small patterns and collars out the top.

Not sure who the women is in the red and white stripey dress but its really nice! Another classic style and also her babies all in one knitted baby grow.

This is my Dad, showing off his lovely range of jumpers (the bottom one which i have now adopted) and his fashional mustache.

These photos are really helpful for me to see really life fashion, not just from magazines from that era or looking at Madonna! The 1980's werent all that bad after all. After seeing these photos i asked my mum if she had any old classics left. So i had a rumage and this is what i found.








Cant wait to start wearing them!
