Found: 80s Glam

The resurgence of 80s fashion makes me think we may be just as apt to regret 2010’s adaptations as we did bulging shoulder pads, stirrup pants and socks with pumps a la Borderline. Unless you’re an LES hipster, proceed with caution.

But I enjoy a little flamboyant 80s fashion in small, flashy doses and these recent finds fit the bill. I have yet to wear the sparkly round earrings—but I’m working up the courage. The bangle I was obsessed with, and when it sold, I was a bit crushed.  And the geometric earrings? How hot would those look with your hair in a high, slicked-back Robert-Palmer-girl bun?

It all takes me back a bit to childhood—waiting for my mom at the tanning salon or aerobics class (take your pick), with Pet Shop Boys on the speakers and a Barbie coloring book on my lap. *Sigh*
