I heart the 80's

It strikes me how the decades reappear after some time.  I am speaking in terms of fashion and styles.  I guess we've either a) hit the peak of awesomeness or b) we can't think of anything else, so we have to recycle.

If you've done any clothing shopping this year, you've learned that the 80's are back in FULL FORCE.  Obviously I am ecstatic about this. (I am not being facetious)  I looove the 80's, and some things never went out of fashion for me.   For example:

Denim. I love denim. I always have. I particularly love denim overalls. I've continued to buy them despite ridicule and jeers from others and GUESS WHAT? They're back, and i couldn't be happier.   It's funny too because last year i was totally ahead of the game. I searched high and low for denim shoes and could find hardly a scrap of anything.  This year? Oh yeah, they're everywhere.   I totally had denim sneaks in elementary school, for the record, and they were so cool. 

Know what else is back? Harem pants, i've come to learn is their name. Aka "MC Hammer Pants" as a friend mockingly said. Well guess what, in your face! Because they're all over, and super cool.

I just bought pants similar to these.   Love 'em.

Also something that's back? Jumpsuits! Rompers!  I loooooved these as a kid! I had the cutest--UMMM,  i'm pretty sure it was denim(!)-- romper and i wore it to smithereens. It had a belt too.  Ohhh it's all coming back.  Closing eyes...*bask, bask, bask*

Ok, so obviously when I saw this at Uniqlo i had to get it: 

I was totally that kid, that wore a favorite outfit to death until it's just gross and "stood up by itself" as my brothers used to tease (bite me!)  Well, i'm still that kid, and proud of her. I told a friend that this romper thing is the kind of thing I would wear every single day. And now, I have to make sure not to, and i'm so careful that i hardly even wear it. Because seriously, it would be worn out before the week's summer's over.

What else is back? Tying your shirt in a knot if it's too flowy. Oh yeah. Totally did it the other day, not even thinking about it. I feel like it was just an instinct, an instinct that's come back with the style. It's just there. Too bad I didn't have any of these, because then the look would have been complete.

I'm also loving those oversized shirts.  And the leggings.  Especially leggings that look like denim, which i'm not sure existed back in the day, and is a genius concoction.

Tie dye? Yes.  Have a tie-dyed shirt.

One thing i can't get behind, and never could, is the stone wash jeans.  No, no no.  Few things in this world are uglier.   Sorry, A.C.  (as in Slater)

 I don't know, though. If anyone could bring back a style trend, it would be AC.   

Tell me what you love about the 80's, and if you don't, a curse be upon you and your family.
