Cant touch this!

This is an 80s classic and we can see a huge revival of such fashion. Horrors! Harlem pants that looked like diapers, the stiff shoulder pads and others are making a comeback. Though there are improvements of the cuts,it's still unfriendly to the body shape of a common mortal like me and this is one of the moments when I dont follow such trends. Well, there were occasions where I donned these outfits only in the changing rooms of the fashion houses to satisfy my curious mind. Only to leave in disappointment. I will stick to my basics instead.

PS : Hope this video brought you the wonderful memories of the 80s.

80s is back

I'm watching The Wedding Singer at this moment and all the soundtracks in the movie have nostalgia effect on me. Most of these songs still give me good vibes and a couple of sing-along such as Madonna's hit Holiday and Boy George.

In my opinion, shoulder pads will be in rage for at least 2 seasons . Argh! Nightmare came when I wear my first jacket with 'huge' shoulder pads. It was a hand-me-down from my auntie. Then there was a DIY moment when I removed the shoulder pads and sleeves so that I could re-create a vest fashioned out from a picture in a magazine. That was my prom look. It's was very 80s and these items (vest & shirt were thrown; skirt was lost; shoes were platforms) were in my wardrobe no more. Dr Martens boots (8 eye type in black) were in trend, too. I had a pair and wore it till I didnt wanna wear it anymore. Of course, my mum threw them away.

Oh dear, I couldnt imagine wearing shoulder pads again. May try to source a bf jacket from thrift stores. However, thrifting is still not cheap in SG and I will give Dr Martens a miss this time.

Currently, I'm too excited to sleep coz I'm visiting The Christian Lacroix - the Costumier exhibition and it's on display outside France for the first time. So looking forward to it. Have a wonderful weekend, everybody!

Ta!
