Rockin The Eighties in 2012
There’s nothing wrong with going a little 80’s!

Bright neon colors are big right now. I know a few of you are some what scared to visit your retro past, but don’t fear this new trend!

  • Bring back your past and your youth simply by keeping the style modern. If you go bold with your neon colors then keep the rest of your style simple.
  • Take a bright pant and pair it with a neutral top or blouse, shoe, cardigan or a blazer. Or vice versa, if you have simple jeans, pair them with a fun blazer, blouse or shoe.

I promise you ladies we all can incorporate this trend at any age. It’s all about what retro look you are comfortable with.

Whether it’s your see through knitted sweater or printed fitted pants. That doesn’t mean to pull out your MC Hammer pants and your bright scrunchies. Yes, i am really taking us back!

It just means take some time to do a little research and keep your neon brights fun and easy to wear. Subtle is the key!

Have fun and enjoy your youthfulness minus the big hair! That will hopefully stay in the past. Who knows?

Ha! I secretly would love that big hair. Shhh!

This is what you don’t want to wear for your 80’s style…
