We Love The 80's!!!!! Fashion & Hair Revive an Era

BY SAM BONNER

Raybans, studded leather belts, colored dennem, journey....if these things sound all too familiar you are most likely a product of the 80's! Don't cringe but they're back!! I know you've Probably burned every picture of yourself with big bangs, a bad perm, or a mullet but don't worry, this time around the fashion is much more functional and fashion forward.

Things like mixing bright colors and prints have been turning up on runways everywhere. You may see some extreme versions of this trend in magazines but don't count it out. Adding a splash of color with a scarf or a belt can be an amazing toned down version of this trend. A pair of hot pink shoes can update that little black dress (just don't match your lipstick to them)

Accessories are big this season. Real BIG! The future is so bright you better wear shades. Think Tom Cruise in Risky Business. Fashionistas Nicole Ritchie and the Olsen twins have been sporting this look. Earrings, Belts, Bracelets...you name it. Have fun experimenting with different colors and styles.

Many of of were traumatized by the 80's and with good reason. I still can't see a pair of wigwams without crying. Incorporating small pieces of this fashion flash back can keep you looking trendy without going retro overboard.

So put your Styx album back in your CD rotation (like you ever took it out) and embrace the 80's!!!
