Welcome to the 80s (again)!

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping in and checking out my new blog! I'm berri (don't capitalize the b!!) and this blog will tell you everything going on in the Fashion District! I would just like to thank one of my friends, Thea, for giving me the idea and please check out her blog--The Incendiary Goat! Now on with the blog...

Upon entering any history class, the teacher will stress to you how history always repeats itself. What that teacher will probably fail to mention is that fashion is just like history; it is always repeating itself.
Yes, believe it or not fashion always comes back in one form or another. This season the 80’s are back! If you were to ask your mother what she wore when she yes your age, she would mostly likely answer saying how she would tease her hair, crimp it or wear it in a side ponytail. For makeup she would wear blue eye shadow, pink lipstick, maybe add a beauty mole, and of course the all important glitter. She would go out in an off the shoulder shirt, ¾ shirts, miniskirts, or a long tee shirt. All worn with either leggings, leg warmers, or thick belts. All of them ranging in a wide variety of neon colors. Don’t forget the high sneakers, beads, bangles, or the glitter!
Before you freak out about your mom’s old wardrobe, look in your closet. While rummaging through there, you will mostly likely pull out a couple pairs of leggings, ¾ sleeved shirts, long tees, minis, converse sneakers, a big belt to place on your waist, a few dozen bangles, and maybe even a pair of legwarmers. One designer who is going vintage is Betsey Johnson. She recently updated her site with her newest designs. Check it out at www.betseyjohnson.com.
So the next time you are about to tell your mom she doesn’t know anything about fashion, remember fashion always repeats itself. Right now we are reliving the 80’s but who knows what’s up for next year. Anyone up for revisiting the 20’s? I mean who wouldn’t want to wear a fringed dress?

Until next time loviees!
