History Through New Eyes

I'm on a quest for something old. I am bored with the present, with the customs of now. Experiencing "new things" is your average cliche, it's what we are expected to want as we mature. I guess you can call me a rebel. In high school, I dreaded walking to history class. It became a place where I would be forced to study the past through text books and lectures,inattentive  classmates and frustrated teachers. I swore that once I was done with history I was never going back. Years after making that promise, I am now eating my words. I am studying history, but in a different way. I am studying it through fashion. 

I have been captivate by the 80's. A Decade that has no marking of my existence. I am drawn by the bright and vivid colors, and I am now finding ways to incorporate it into my wardrobe. 

Into my mother's closet I go.

 I even made a few stops to the Goodwill to further my 80's journey.

Floral Jacket: Grandmother's closet
Pink Blazer: Mother's closet 
White Blouse: Goodwill
Sweater: Goodwill 

I think the colors capture the 80's Perfectly

  1. You look GREAT! It's not the clothes that make a woman! It's the woman that makes the clothes. As long as you remember that, you will always be a fashion statement.
