I still have my beaded neck thing from the ’80s. Mine was a denim looking material with red/white/blue beads…I put it on my vicious 5 lb dog on election day this year! I only still have it cause Grammy made it for me.
Man I long for these days. I just know this is about the same time when I was an awkward pre-teen. I just look back at my photos like these and think, “What the heck was I thinking? Why am I wearing that? But man does that look comfortable and FUNCTIONAL.” Then I sigh and go into my room and put on my stretchy pants and t-shirt, tuck my pant legs into my socks, strap on some high top reeboks and I’m free.
I was not really a slave to fashion in the 80′s but I did have a pair of MINT GREEN stretchy pants that had stirrups, and I pulled my SLOUCHY socks over the pant legs and wore an over sized T-Shirt!! but I wore mine with keds!! I destroyed that pic!! it is only burned in my memory !! lol
This is my favorite aunt and me all decked out and ready to go to the rodeo. Looking back at our fashion sense, I have to laugh, but we sure had a lot of fun together!
Well that sign was for the 100 lb. dog that was somewhere on the other side of the fence. The little dog in the picture was not a dog to beware of at all. She was very sweet.
What I find equally funny is the beware of dog sign and then the cuddly little dog in the lower left of the picture who at first glance appeared to be doing a front paw stand with his back legs flipped forward towards his head

“A dog ranch?!I thought you said you were taking me to a DUDE ranch!”
Is THAT the dog they are supposed to beware of?
AH, the beaded neckerchiefs… I had forgotten those. Riding the range in pony bead style….
do they have matching fanny packs?!!!!!
This makes me want to snuggle with Molly Ringwald.
I think the dog is going to bite them.

This site has quickly become a favorite for me! Wow! HILARIOUS~
Beware of Dog.. because he’s about to write you a fashion citation.
LOve the ‘beware of dog ‘ sign…oh and the colorful ‘fannypacks’
Hey! That’s the neon fanny pack I lost in 1986!
I love your Aunt! Every kid needs an adult other than their parent in their life. She rocks. Awkwardly. But she still rocks.
Someone, anyone, let the dog out.
Ewww…is that even legal lol

I think it’s a great photo! Tell us about the dog and his signage, please.

What? No boots?
Ladies. If we are going for the look we have to have boots and please loose the little packs. Or at least lose the rainbow colour look.
You sure the one on the left isn’t a dude?
Beware of dog? Beware of FASHION!
So I’m loving the “beware of dog sign”…. that dog looks pretty vicious.
And I love how the sign is on the inside of the fence. Maybe the witch from Hansel and Gretel lives there?
Hahaha I love the Beware of Dog sign, and the dog standing there looking like he’s got them cornered. LOL
