^ Now I'm curious about this outfit. ;D I'll have to reread this part of it as I just read the rest of it last time and skimmed over it. I wonder if Ed saying she looked like her mom was a compliment or an insult??? ;D

It sounds kind of inappropriate for a corporate event. A nice dress or skirt and blouse would have been much better.
Zingys=punk? Her outfit sounded more a bad club outfit than punk.

I didn't think the outfit was that bad.... It'd be quite cute if she was going to a club. But it was totally inappropriate for a corporate dinner with dad's company.

If there was ever a time when a Laura Ashley dress might have been appropriate, this was probably it.
In my head, I always imagine the "fake" silk not being very high quality, especially in a color like hot pink. The brighter a color is, the worse an articifical sheen will look, IMO, especially in a synthetic (I'd bet the jacket was polyester, actually).

Yeah, I imagine it as polyester - very very shiny.

Agree about the Laura Ashley dress, alula. ;D Didn't the girls wear those occasionally anyway, especially MA and Dawn? I seem to remember a few mentions but they probably weren't "cool" enough for Stacey. ;D

^ I remember Dawn getting excited about the Laura Ashley store in New York, New York. Seems like I remember it being mentioned a few other times in the series. I don't think Stacey would be caught dead in one.

I have a "fake" silk hot pink comforter on my bed. Somehow, I can't picture myself wearing it. ;D I thought her outfit sounded totally awesome when I was a youngin', but even then I thought it sounded dumb for a corporate event.

I still think it sounds pretty awesome....for an early 90's outfit. I also never thought it sounded inappropriate for a business function.

lol I think it was the leggings. They just sound wayyyyy too casual for a fancy dinner. (I secretly coveted that jacket though )

I LOVED that outfit when I was younger, went through a period where I thought it was lame, and now am back to loving it. I can picture Stacey rocking that outfit.
