Are the 80's back? Here I am watching one of those TV talent shows and one of the acts is in a fitted leather jacket tight black jeans and BIG WHITE high top tennis shoes with the laces hanging out. WOW. I mean what is happening? Not the era I thought anyone would want to re-live but what do I know right?

| This is me if you were wondering.. |
The other day Mark and I were out for a walk and I saw this teenage girl in stone washed jeans and a hot pink t-shirt that looks like she took a weed whacker to it. She was popping her gum too and was walking down the street with her i-pod in this "I am cool and you are a nerdy mom" kind of way. I am not making any apologies for my fashion sense. I still like boot-cut jeans and flip-flops, that is high-fashion in my book. Sometimes I go for clogs...but those are more my winter shoes. These days I can't even go to the Gap without them trying to tell me that skinny jeans and (aggghhh!) jeggings are what I need! Nope. Definitely not what these hips need...maybe spanx but NOT skinny jeans. I am venting, and feeling kind of old. I am also realizing that I am two weeks away form my 30th birthday and that feels impossible to me, I think I was 20 like two minutes ago? I even remember what I wore on my 20th birthday and it was cute too...boot cut jeans and flip flops maybe a red sweatshirt too...like I said high fashion! So the 80's are back and I am stuck somewhere in the year 2000 as far as fashion goes. As long as I don't descend to the low low depths of jean jumpers and mom-jeans I think I will be ok.
Ha! Hilarious! I, too, did not think we'd be going back to the 80's style. Please not the hair!
ReplyDeleteYou'll be happy to know I was in American Eagle today and they had only one rack of skinny jeans and many racks of various types of boot cut jeans. It made me feel in style. ^_^
Oh, that's me (Jill) up there! ^_^
ReplyDeleteI do not like skinny jeans. I do not have skinny legs.
