I wore the classic style K-Swiss back in the day.  And, Uh.. er.. um..  I have a fresh white pair in my closet right now- and ain't no concert coming through town!  LOL!!

I'm from surburban North Jersey (just outside Manhattan, NY).  Like many people from the area, I always wore black.

Colored jeans (Flavored Lee's) with a name belt and permanent sewn in creases were in style then.  Tight designer jeans were also big.  I wore skin fit Calvin Klein's at the time.  The skinny jeans of today would work well with WigWam cheerleader slouch socks.  An off the shoulder oversize top that is cut up (horizontal slashes) with a beater underneath was also in style. 

Accessories- Big Bamboo earrings, name rings, 2-4 finger rings, name plate necklaces, rope chains - everything in yellow gold and diamonds.  You can get that stuff at a dime a dozen in the Asian shop where you buy hair and pony tails.  Also, asemetric hair cut with color.

That's the way we carried it at the NY teen hangouts.

Please take pictures.  After the initial embarrassment, it is so fun going back and remembering the crap we use to think was "the def"..  (I can't believe I use to say that!)  LOL!!!!!

You could look at Wet Seal, Deb, H&M for one of those tops that have the knot on one side and hang down on the other.

As far as makeup went-  Girl, I wore a deep Fuchsia (Not the matte or gloss finish, but the irredescent) and blue eyeliner was a must!  LOL!!  I almost feel like going to my mom's house and scanning some pics in. 

..I really need to calm down.  I'm having way too much fun with this.  ..

I'm useless since hip hop clothes were never my style but that concert is going to be awesome.  I'm so jealous.  Note my green eyed monster.

You should have gotten you a fresh pair of shell toe adidas and an adidas sweat suit and a fat azz rope chain and you would be in there.

OMG this took me all the way back to the early '80s. I remember sporting all of that stuff back in the day. I'm on the West so we wore Nike Cortez and Adidas alot.  We also wore a lot of flats too! We didn't do classic KSwiss till early '90s out here and they were my fav. I always keep a pair in the closet till this day.

I hope you have a great time. I'm so jealous!!!
