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.
