The Weirdgirl: Flashback to the '80s: you're getting ready for a concert. Maybe your first concert. Maybe a concert with that special someone who doesn't yet know you think he's special. You want to look trendy but with a little edge, like you could hold your own if a throw-down happened, if you weren't already too cool for anyone to mess with. A look that said you thought about it, but not too much. And you especially want the ideal light wash that highlights your derriere to perfection as you dance the night away. So what do you grab?Acid wash jeans! One of the defining forces of '80s fashion. It was in the '80s that designer jeans really took off, yet jeans still represented the working class and rock and roll rebellion. The look of negligent coolness was in, and almost everyone (even you) fell for it at one point or another. Secretly wearing out your jeans until they were so exquisitely pale you had to sit down carefully behind your grade 10 desk, so you didn't bust out the butt.
