They could be back in a marginal way for mainstream fashionistas, but I don't see it getting as crazy. Certainly not seeing the hair or the big shouldeers yet. ------ Needle Needle Straight and Slim, Dust and Sweep the House for Him! --Grimm Fairy Tales

I did the 80's the first time around and it was awful for me. Having said that, now I'll just wear whatever looks good and suits my figure instead of forcing myself into something because it's "in style". ------ A bad day in the sewing room is better than a good day at the office.

Do not miss the neon colors or huge geometric jewelry (which, if it comes back, I am perfectly prepared for since I STILL get a pair of large purple triangle earrings or something every year from my mother)

Wild hair styles, bright colors, geometric shapes, loud makeup, Mad Max inspired snaps, studs, and straps - I loved it all! I really wish I'd gone overboard dressing like that back then, but unfortunately was too restrained/self conscious to do much of it. Beth
