Post a CommentWow. I can't believe I actually onced owned most of these items. Although I do have to say, there are a few I wouldn't mind having again!
I'm so glad I'm not only enough to really remember the 80s LOL
Paula, you can find them in stores or online :-)
I wish I still had my leg warmers.
Yes, yes some of these are back in - leg warmers, bracelets...but to those of us know, or remember, they are so 80s!
Aren't leg warmers back in? But I have to say NOOOOOOOOOO to the fingerless lace gloves. I'm NOT a Madonna fan!
hmm, too bad I cleaned out my closets...LOL
I miss leggins and big hair.
These might be retro, but most of them have made a serious comeback.. my 14 yr old LOVES beaded necklaces and rubber bracelets and strange may it be, my old collection of jewelry has mysteriously dwindled. ALL of my daughters (ages 14, 16 & 22) LOVE leggings and have several pairs.
I had to laugh at the mascara. I had blue too, but I wore the purple mascara most of the time - paired up with a pair of purple sunglasses...LOL! Thanks for the memory.
GREAT ARTICLE :)
Wow, the rubber bracelets. I totally forgot about them!
Thanks for the reminder about Desperately Seeking Susan...I need to watch that again. A similar movie (also starring Rosanna Arquette) is After Hours.
