I’ve got a Dad/Daughter Dance tonight with my older girl. It’s 80’s-themed. So happens, I was there: the decade encompasses my high school graduation, my college graduation, and my wedding.

Which leaves the question: do I dress according to what was fashionable, or according to what I actually wore?

(Answer: I’m making a very weak attempt, within the confines of my current wardrobe, to sort of vaguely mimic the “Preppie” styles that were popular when I was in college. In a mild sort of way. Which is to say, I’m pretending to wear what was fashionable then while really wearing what I actually wear now.)
