It’s still repulsive
Apparently there’s a resurgence of 80’s “style” going on. Some broken mind somewhere decided it’d be fun to make the 80s happen again. I was out earning boyfriend-points with Emily on sunday while she was clothes shopping, and some of the stuff that was on the racks there was pretty dreadful. Below is an example (clicky for larger):
Yes… Jeans with day-glow tips. Who decided that’d be a good idea? Also on the plate were: pants with stirrups, oversized trashbag sweaters, and black stonewashed jeans (I guess these never really completely disappeared, but they were at stores other than hot topic). I don’t think anyone wants to remember how they dressed in the 80s. Perhaps it’s novel to some people that were born in the 90s… but dammit learn from the mistakes of those before you!

How much would I have to pay you to get you to buy/wear those pants?
surprisingly little I bet, I do embarrassing things for laughs all the time.
Then I’m putting in my bid at 1 dollah. Suki suki.
How much are the pants themselves, incidentally?
I’m not so up-and-up on the price of girl’s pants. and my pride (lol, good one right?) keeps me from looking it up on Filene’s website (I think that’s the store we were in).
I am heralding an initiative to revive ’90s garb.
Bike shorts, Umbro shorts, scrunchy socks, oversized overalls with the straps crossed, plaid overshirts with the sleeves cut off, hi-tops, high-waisted mom jeans, DEP hair products, Keds, blouses with shoulder pads, and Oliver Peoples eyeglasses like Christian Bale wore in American Psycho.
Fuck the 80s; in with the new, baby.
Wow. I thought for sure that the 80s would be the ONE decade that no one would ever again touch in regards to fashion. Let’s just pray to God that MC Hammer/muscle pants don’t make a comeback.
Were the day-glow tips also color-change?? Remember that?!?!?! Oh yeah I had a color-change shirt!
They weren’t. I was disappointed at first, but then I saw that they had thermal color-change hoodies in a rack right behind me. my faith was restored.
for real? wow. just wow. x_x
