The 80's Called...

... they want their clothes back!

Yesterday my little sister and I went to Gateway to see if we could find her a little cover jacket for a cocktail dress she has. We started off in Forever 21 which has really interesting clothes for starters anyway. Don't get me wrong, I have found some great stuff there, but most of the clothing is ridiculous. Anyway, this is when I started noticing a trend. Fluorescent colors. Tight pants. (I find it interesting that tapered pants are now called "Skinny Jeans" instead of "Mom Jeans".)

Then in Old Navy I started noticing more Fluorescent colors. Hot Pink, Spearmint Green, Electric Blue.
We finally ended up in a little store called Wet Seal and we found this:
I was busting up laughing in the store. Acid washed tapered jeans in Electric Blue, Spearmint Green and Hot Pink leg warmers (look on back wall), tank tops that looked stretched out, paint splattered shirts and jewelry, stretch pants, and high top sneakers. ARE THEY SERIOUS!!!

I was looking frantically around wondering were the bejeweled Tee-Shirt Slide was for the V-neck, paint-streaked, off one shoulder shirt (with sports bra underneath of course).

I am just waiting for the 80's hair to come back so the look can be complete:

You know, I may be a little "Out of Style", or "not trendy", but this is one "Far Out" "Rad" style that I will not be participating in.

Oh come on, Lisa. Just think how awesome you would look with big 80s hair. Actually, I'm a little concerned about the return to 80s clothing too--I think that's a decade best left behind (fashion-wise).

Oh, no. I don't shop at Forever 21 very often because it's SOOOO trendy! And some of the stuff is ridiculous.

The little tweens and teens coming in to my office are always sporting these styles. I just laugh at them in my head. Can't wait until the rockin' 90's flannel shirts and huge jeans come back ;)

I'll race you down to SuperCuts to see who can get the biggeset perm first.

I think I still have a banana clip somewhere...

Yuck. I will not be participating either. But if they bring the slap bracelets back then I will definitely get me one of those for fun. :)
