DJH S1E8: Nothing to Fear
Airdate: 1987
Alright, it’s LD time. Her signature tomboy look has some elements of the “grunge” style that would later appear in the 90s. I admire her cap, plaid flannel, skinny-legged jeans (mom jeans?), white tennies, or the occasional converse.
Somebody please explain this to me. Are those her socks pulled up over her pants? What is this? I’ve never seen it before. Except for when I was in Girl Scouts and didn’t want ticks to get to my skin. After I’ve seen LD sporting this look, I’ve started to notice this trend here and there, so I will add a “Trend: Socks over pants” category.
I never realized how much the silhouette of today’s TOMS shoes is reminiscent of the 80s.
And I love these pants to no end! I was lucky enough to find some at a thrift store recently.









I do recall there being a thing where you’d tuck the bottoms of your pants into your socks but it was more of a preppy thing. In her case, maybe she’s trying to keep her pant legs out of her bike chain?
Love the blog!
