Fashion Friday - 80s style

Here is the outfit...

Description:

long Tinkerbell t-shirt, belted

black leggings and purple twinkle toes high-tops

The 80s is back people.

Last night I learned about 'jeggings ' at a CAbi show. Jeggings = jeans that look like leggings.

Anyway, the combination of El's heart leggings with a belted tunic top (or long t-shirt we just inherited from her older cousin) brought me right back to my childhood days. The pop of purple from the shoes gave it that extra edge. The only thing missing were the rubber Madonna bracelets I used to wear.

You too?

I know, those were so rock-star cool were they not? Check out this updated version of the Black Rubber Bracelet I found on Amazon. Makes me want to find that Madonna tape!

no, what is missing are those horrible and painful rubber jelly shoes that left marks on your feet. Oh, and the jean leggings....not having any part of that trend

fortunately the young ones can pulll off any look. I would die if they ever REALLY brought back that look...

Lovin' your blog. So glad I found you!

You are spot on. And we would have had to further complicate things with a side ponytail and chew lots of gum loudly. Just sayin'.

Her converse are right on, though. I remember an outfit I did in 8th grade. Loud, multicolored oversized sweatshirt, torn at the neck å la Flash Dance, a long flowy cotton yellow skirt, caught up to "poof" on one side, electric blue tights and red converse. My teacher actually told me I looked "stupid". I told her I rocked.

Suzanna I LOVE that you told your teacher you rocked! I definitely want these girls growing up to respect others...but know when it's ok to stand up for themselves.

If they want to express themselves in clothing, so be it. Better than repressing and letting it all come out in booze later on.
Thanks for stopping by!
