Cavaricci

In the moments when I think I look my absolute worst of all time (Heres an image: first thing in the morning, wearing purple velour pj pants with my husband’s oversized t-shirts) I look in the mirror and think I have hit rock bottom. However, this little ad I came accross today reminded me that, oh no my friend, you have done much worse. In public. When you thought you were looking hot. When you were trying.
Remember when Z. Cavariccis were the MUST have item?! They were as cool as Jordache jeans but perhaps just a bit cooler because they were “imported”. They were italian and super expensive. Seriously back THAN those things cost like $80. $80!! That is like $4000 now. For pants that made you look fatter. Seriously. The way those things were cut, they gave you the widest hips…Ever. Look at the girl in the ad – you throw her into some low-rise jeans and she goes down at LEAST 2 sizes. Cavariccis are proof positive that there were a lot of drugs in the 80s – cause you would have to have been on crack to wear something that makes you look worse. Our carb starved asses would NEVER pull some nonsense like that now.
But back then, I owned 8 pairs of Cavaricci’s at one time. Seriously. Eight. Olive, black, tan, this odd lovechild shade of pink and peach, blue, jean, gray and beige. The only thing sadder than this fact? It was the year I was voted “Best Dressed” in my NJ high school yearbook. Saddest fact of all? I was not doing crack in the 80s.
So next time you are feeling like, “Wow, I really don’t look as hot as I used to”, remember sometimes you really did not look as hot as you thought you did at the time. Or you did, it was only because you were on crack.
