Whip Out Your Slap Bracelets People

A proud Gen Y-er, my first tapes were Whitney Houston , The Bangles (Eternal Flame , anyone??) and Belinda Carlisle .  I rocked sweatbands, stirrup pants, Body Glove, acid washed jeans and Hypercolor t-shirts.  My hair was permed, and for a while, my eyeshadow was blue (until Aunt Peggy told us it was a no-no).


So you can only imagine my glee over seeing the resurgence of 80's fashion.  Shoulders, neon, asymmetric hems, even Hammer pants...it's all back!  And I'm loving it!


Here's a video from Harper's showing the trends at different shows.   



Some of these trends may seem a little hard to pull off, but just don't try to do them all at once.  Think a great neon shoe or a cute cropped jacket with strong shoulders (à la Ferris' love, Sloane).
