lately i've been thinking a lot about how certain styles seem to fade out for a few decades years and then circle right back around and find their way back into our lives.
so today we're going to reminisce on some fashion trends from the 80s/90s
that have somehow or another reincarnated themselves in our closets.
granted, we've not completely lost our minds and gone to the extremes that we did back in the day...
but i have a feeling we're headed in that direction.
and if that happens ... let's just hope to God we've all already found our husbands and they love us dearly enough
not to judge us for our wrong doings in the closet.

culprit #1: bottle cap, plastic, (and sometimes neon) glasses.
because we all know that contacts are a hell of a lot easier and more attractive. the wayfarers are already donning a lot of pretty faces so let's just stick to those and not let these plastic neon bad boys back into our lives. please and thank you.

culprit #2: bangs and big hair.
you know, the bangs with the wings on the side and the extra hairspray to keep them rolled back on to the top of your head.
and the hair that could trap 50 bugs in it in a mile.
the bangs, or "fringe", are everywhere... again.
and don't get me wrong, i rocked some for about a year recently and loved 'em.
i also love me some big hair.
but ladies, there is a fine line...

culprit #3: multi colored leggings.
ahhh, leggings. i love em and my guess is so do you.
but if you bishes start wearing neon leggings. i may just scream.

culprit #4: parachute pants.
this i just don't get. and probably never will.
i guess because my butt and thighs are so big i would need something along the lines of a tarp...  not a parachute. but whatever.

what are some fashion trends you've noticed coming back around?
i would LOVE to hear what you've caught back in your closet!
xoxo.

  5. The 80's 90's had some of the best trends/fads and music. The clothes not as much. I remember the big hair. I was just looking at old family pics from the time period and laughing at the big hair and glasses.

  6. I had a hard time accepting that skinny jeans were back, it took me FOREVER to get on that bandwagon but now I love them!

  7. The worst one I've seen come back was last summer and it was CROP TOPS! NOOOOOOO!!! Lord help all of us who don't have six pack abs (ugh, sorry tummy!). It just isn't flattering! Also, as not hip as it sounds I cant wear the high-low shirts (although Iv seen people who look great in them) I think the "low" part makes me look shorter than I am!
