Throwback Thursday (#tbt) has taken off on Instagram as a way to relive fond summer memories or reminisce about our days as toddlers and teens. We decided to have a little fun with Throwback Thursday by raiding our childhood photo albums and allowing them to inspire current looks. As babies of the ’80s, some things may change, but a lot of our style has stayed the same–Van is still rocking preppy classics and horn-rimmed glasses, and Lauren hasn’t lost her love for color. If you’re feeling nostalgic for Pong, side ponytails, and slap bracelets, check out the National Geographic Channel’s feature entitled The ’80s: The Decade That Made Us, airing this Sunday. Join the fun by tagging your favorite ’80s party pics “#tbt #natgeo80s” on Instagram and Twitter to be featured on their website.

The ‘80s: The Decade That Made Us, a three-night event, premieres Sunday, April 14^th at 8 PM ET/PT on National Geographic Channel.
