Ahha - Baja - with a j I mean.

You know - loose fitting, straight cut tops that often had hoods or bright colors, etc?

I don't REMEMBER wearing them - but I have a photo, here, that was taken when I was 13 with my old cat and I'm wearing this huge bright green, orange and yellow striped baha thing.
Oh lord it's horrid!!

you mean something like this??

Yep I did when I was younger. My brother wore one so I had to..LOL It was just one of those fads back then

LOL - yep!
Oh, yeah, forgot about the way-through giantigus pocket in the front that was useless expect to keep your hands warm.

Wow..never had one those. At least I don't think??

I had some pretty ridiculous outfits though....complete with LA Gears.

no but my brother did. he lived for that thing. :no i wanna say it was in his California surfer years. :teehee

I never wanted to wash mine b/c I never wanted to take it off. Awwww I kind've wished I'd saved it.

I had a few...but living so close to Mexico makes that oh so not surprising! LOL!

ohh hahaha yeah, I wore those!!

Wow, that's a blast from the past! I stole my boyfriends... ;)

I recall wearing once but I don't think it was mine.

i never did but there's tons of pics of my hubby when he was a kid wearing these. haha. oh and dylan off of 90210 used to wear these all the time in the beginning. lol...makes me laugh.

I practically lived in mine during the summer I spent at the beach in the mid 90s. That was, quite possibly, the most fun summer of my life. Such good memories. :D

yeah uh, thats what the stoner/hippie kids wore when i was in high school...and thats only a year or so ago.

no... i never had one of those...

yep but we didn't call them bahas. I am drawing a blank on what we call them out here in AZ though sorry.

:giggle I wore them too. I am in the same boat with Berkley, my brother had one so I had one lol

No. I remember seeing them around though.

I didnt, but I have seen a picture lying around DH's parents house of him in one...

Sure, I had one in like 1990. We called them ponchos.

Yes! But we called them ponchos.

Old Navy calls them Bajas though! I just bought Riley one a couple weeks ago for summer nights! :woot

i dont remember those... haha. i had to look it up to see what it was. :lol

the ones at old navy are kinda cute.

I never did, but I remember all the hippies did and those things smelled SO BAD when they would take them off for any reason. I want to pass out remembering all that body odor.:lol

yeah uh, thats what the stoner/hippie kids wore when i was in high school...and thats only a year or so ago.

haha yea they wore them in my high school too, 4 years ago. We have one hanging around at work that has been there since I started 3 years ago, and I have worn that on days when I was cold, but I have never worn one out in the real world. But yea all my stoner friends wore them.

well, I am sad to say DB got a hideous one in the Outer Banks just this summer. I hate it and he keeps teasing me he is gonna wear it all fall and winter.....the colors are just so...clashy i guess.If it was more of a solid color, that would be better. But it is like black and green and red. Just a weird combination. And he is six foot five so it is huge...not my thing. But he loves it! It has turned into a joke between us.

I lived in those things in high school and college. That and flannel. :lol

Our drill instructor nick named me flower child. :neutral

:yes

Yep! I had one too! Mine was teal and purple :lol

um...no lol

OK...so none of you ladies are allowed to look in my closet. Because I'm certain you will see one in there. :blush

But in my defense I haven't worn it since high school...I don't think. :suspect

heck yes i did and it was long sleeved! it was bugle boy.....:)

No I didn't. But we called them ponchos.

Nope never had one.. I never liked them.

Gah! It totally reminds me of the old hippies in Seattle.

Yeah, i still wear one. And I do look adorable in it, if I may say so myself. :)

haha yep i did! but i sooooo went through a hippy like phase. and they were actually trendy for a little but where i'm from

i haven't seen new ones but back in the day i always thought they were a stoner look.
