Yes folks. You heard right 80's fashion is back!

If your about to throw away your ra-ra skirt, those tops and dresses you've got with those horrible sholder pads and your old Stelletoes and your old legwarmers, then don't bother.

Even these awful hair do's are back too. Yuck!!!

I've been noticing these sorts of things for the past year or so. In particular I've noticed big loopy earings, some of them in bright, almost fluro clours, mulit coloured wire bangles, BIG brightly coloured headbands and T-shirts with tanks tops over the top. And it aint all such a bad thing, but ra ra skirts, OMG! :-http://image.inkfrog.com/pix/magnolia3/balloonskirtparty.jpg

As long as the dreaded pirate/puffy shirt never comes back.... I'll be happy.  ::)

Friends, it is worse than what we thought, the dreaded baloon/bubble skirt is back!!! :o :o :o

Oh my god! I remember wearing one of those frocks, but only mine had sholder pads on them. My twin sister had one with the annoying sholder pads. God they were so annoying!

:)  YAY!!! 80s fashions have never left my closet, but Im very happy to see them re-appear at finer stores everywhere.  And I know the "rah-rah" skirt isnt to everyone's liking.  But I happen to ADORE that look!  I still have several of my rah-rah skirts from the 80s as well as some newer ones Ive recently purchased.  Add these to my other 80s dresses and skirts, and I may have to open my own fashion museum. (I also have lots of 50s things)  Oh yeah, I also have men's clothes from the 80s (after all, I AM a guy!)  But being a crossdresser was a blast in the 80s simply because of these fun fashions!  Bring on the crinolines...the bubble skirts...the rah-rah skirts...the striped tights..the leotards.....the colorful tights...and prom dresses!!!  80s fashions were...I mean  ..ARE the best!

Well, Todd -or is it Tahlia? At you you don't have to tuck when you wear a balloon skirt. ;) :)

I never thought the 80's fashion would return. While waiting on my daughter I saw one of her classmates wearing legwarmers with flip-flops and a skirt. Now that was a look!!  :D

  LOL  Another great thing about 80s fashions..for crossdressers...youre right...with most skirts no tucking is necessary!  Actually, Ive never gone THAT far..no tucking for me! I heard its painful and uncomfortable.  And my name IS Todd LOL  Not Tahlia!   :D

I've been hoping for this for years and still haven't seen it like the 1970's comeback in the 1990's that's still with us today. One can only dream....

I never thought the 80's fashion would return. While waiting on my daughter I saw one of her classmates wearing legwarmers with flip-flops and a skirt. Now that was a look!!  :D

All good thing will return sometimes. ;)
I see here some colors of the 80s returning. Some of this eye-shocking Neon-colors. Next time i have to search in the roof for the old neon-green muscle shirt. *lol*

I can't belive I didn't notice this before now.  Just had to jump in and say hey there, Todd!  Long time no read. :)

  Thanks Dag!!   Go Cubs!!!

I couldn't help but notice Jessica Simpson on Tv the other night, wearing skin tight stretch jeans, with the legs rolled up -very 80s. Waste-length beads also seem to be back -and lots of them. On a scarier note, I've been seeing deelyboppers in the shops too and the other day, I saw a young kid wearing them! :o

Yesterday I watched a mens fashion parade on the FashionTV station. The designer was not familiar to me, but the words he used to describe his collection were, "Retro. 80s, but not really 80s." The models paraded down the catwalk to mostly 80s music and some of them wore lip gloss, blush and eyeliner. The collection featured alot of tight pants, big studded belts and meshy Tshirts. I can't imagine the average guy wearing certain items that were featured, other than to a very gay nightclub, or for Mardi Gras. High fashion is not necesarily about practicality! :D
