80's Redux?

CrankyFashionChick is the first to avow that the 80's were the last truly original time for fashion and music. Everything since then has been basically redux. The 90's were the 70's. And not even well-done. But now, we've cycled back to the 80's in the '00's. (00's? Really?) And some of it is fab and some should have been ignored.

Harem pants. UGH! No woman who has EVER purchased those has checked her rear view. If she did - she's either deluded or myopic. Hammer, please hurt 'em.

Neon. Agyness Deyn is the only person who can wear neon colors. She's also the only person who can get away with suicide blonde hair and black brows.

Gigantic shoulders. Please. We all walked around in the 80's blithely unaware of the fact that we looked like really short linebackers. It was terrible. Stop now.

Rah-rah skirts. I had one. I loved it. It was absurd. Enough said.

Flat booties. They're adorable. They're fabulous. They make you look like an elf.

Tucking jeans into boots. This one is tricky. It's only for the very thin and very tall. Everyone else looks fat and stupid dressed like this. Especially if you have large thighs. Trust CrankyFashionChick, she knows of what she speaks.

For the sake of all that is stylish, please ban these horrors from your wardrobe and your body, buy a full-length mirror, use it and we'll all have a much better 2010.

Say what you want about harem pants....

Harem pants may well look like you're walking around in a diaper, but they do perform the basic function of pants -- they cover your legs. These specs, however, are a total waste of time and money ($325, to be exact!). The lenses aren't corrective! They're just clear plastic. And they're not even tinted.

Presumably, these are glasses for people with perfect vision. Which is a bit like wearing braces when you have straight teeth. Cranky Fashion Chick does NOT approve!

Proof of the Decline of Fashion as We Know It

This is one seriously stupid looking "shoe." I don't even want to categorize it with shoes because I love shoes and this one gives all the others a bad name.

Really - it looks like someone put plastic bags on her feet, cut out the toes and then put on the remnants of a shoe boot that was never completely cobbled.

It's awful.

And the best part is that the seller is actually trying to encourage people to buy them because "they're going fast!" The only place these things are going fast is into the dumpster.
