| Cropped Pants-Gap; Tank- Swapped; Blouse, Belt, Shoes, Rings & Hat- Thrifted This thrifted chapeau is bucket-hat-meets-fedora and as soon as I put it on my head, my man said I looked like Debbie Gibson. She was a popular singer in the 80s (who I'd never heard of before because I was just a wee baby at the time), and besides her vocal chords she was known for her sassy black hat (kind of like this one). Although I don't remember anything about the 80s, it's fun to see some of the era's fashion staples come back in style. My favourite looks from the 80s are legwarmers, shoulder pads & fashion leggings. 80s styles I hope to never see again? Smiley face t-shirts, high top sneakers & scrunchies (see Berger, Carrie's not the only one who thinks scrunchies are a fashion atrocity!) |
(You can't tell in the photos but these shoes sparkle and shine!)
What's on your list of fashion hits & misses from the 80s?
as teen of the 80's i wore all of those fashions but i think the smiley face t's were more of a 70's thing
ReplyDeletei hope to never see acid wash jeans again or pants with super high waist and tapered legs
love the hat!

emily, i used to own debbie gibson's tape it was called out of the blue. i own a couple bucket hats. i bought in the 2000's. 80's fashion misses for me were the bad hair, totally guilty, & shoulder pads. i was guilty of that too.
ReplyDeleteOhhh Debbie Gibson! Like Teddi I totally had the cassette tape!
ReplyDelete80's misses for me, since I was young I'll forgive it, but I was totally into crimped hair. There. I said it. Ugg.
I got so wrapped up in 80's nostalgia I forgot to tell you I LOVE your shoes!
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in that hat! I can commiserate with the teasing: when I wear my trench coat B calls me Mary Tyler Moore :) On my hit list from the 80s...oodles of pearls, thanks to madonna. I agree with you that scrunchies belong on the miss list!
ReplyDeleteLike you, I was very little in the 80s and don't remember them at all - sadly , there are far too many photos to remind me of my fashion atrocities of the 80s. And, I couldn't agree more - scrunchies are the worst. I actually made a joke during the olympics that women's gymnastics is the only thing keeping the scrunchie industry alive - but, it's true.
ReplyDeleteLoved the whole outfit, but especially the pants and red belt! Just saw the previous outfit too and you look really classy!!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this outfit and you totally look like Debbie! I love 1980's fashion and movies. The red belt with those pants gives the overall look a fun pop of color. Sparkle shoes are always the best!

I'm old enough to remember Debbie Gibson! She was like a very innocent Britney Spears but Debbie was known for writing her own songs. I totally used to rock out to "Out of the Blue". Ah, good times. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't have a list to be honest but colourful leggings were a huge hit in Estonia in the 90s when I started going to school :P but hey, shoulder pads are cool when worn right! and how cool is that hat of yours. I totally like it!
