80’s flashback?

Yes, it’s true… 80’s fashions are making a comeback. When I first heard this insane rumor, I was transported to my bathroom in the house where I grew up. The visual goes something like this: Wham! blasting “Wake me up before you go go, don’t leave me hanging on like a yoyo…” trying desperately to maximize my hair’s height and volume, over a hundred rubber bracelets on my wrist, wearing a florescent pink off the shoulder sweatshirt, and a pair of tight Fiorucci jeans. Ahhh… the memories. The 80’s were all about being big and bold. Big shoulder pads, big hair, bright florescent colors, lots of jewelry, and of course… Madonna. It’s one thing to look back, and remember the time fondly. Quite another to want to revisit it. I’ve been there done that, and probably won’t go back. However, if this is a style you haven’t tried then give it a go. It’s perfectly suited for the younger crowd, my nieces and nephews are on the verge of a huge transformation, currently wearing brightly colored Ray-Bans, for example. I’m not entirely sure I can see the over 25 crowd wearing these fashions. Having said that, there is a way to do it tastefully. Don’t go all the way, pick one or two things to incorporate into your existing style. Like with any fashion flashback, modernize it. Good luck girls, and don’t overdo it!
