Do you remember how much the sneakers were back then? Looks great with the outfit too.

Good question, hmm I would say approx 170 quid, and I wasn't paid much more as well so was a big purchase for me 😅

£170 in 1987 would be £450 today ($544).

Chicky-poo was rich. Don't let that humility fool you. Do you know how much Vivian Westwood costs??

You don’t need to be rich to spend that sort of money on clothing that will last if you take care of it.

I don’t know why you think she’s putting on a show of humility, either.

Aww thank you that's very kind 😊 at the time I thought I was awkward and boney, as they say 'youth is wasted on the young' 😆

Most of the time the pictures on here are anything but cool.

This is cool. Nice trainers. Nice look.

Do you remember what you bought?

Littlemeggie OP t1_j2eaqzn wrote

You guys are really testing my memory skills 😅 I think it must have been either this red velvet dress (that I later sold when I was poor) or a blue armor dress that I still have! And some leggings that I have no clue what happened to! 😄

So those are not air max 90s that you were wearing?

I mean the date suggests 90s but these still look like Ones to me.

I think littlemeggie should get herself a fresh pair of AM1S, there's been some great releases this year
