I am proud to say that I was made in the 80s, 1981 to be exact! Anyway, I was not that into fashion in the 80s, because I was more focused on making sure that my Barbie, Christie, and Skipper dolls were continuously fly. However, I did take notice of all the clothes that the teens were wearing and wanting.

I will never forget the first time that I got my first pair of hot pink/black/white L.A Gears with three different color shoelaces and the cropped light blue L.A Gear jean jacket. You better believe that I will never forget about all those stone washed jean skirts I had lined in the bottom of my little walk-in closet, especially the one with the three tiers and I could remove each tier via a heavy duty brass zippers that wrapped around the skirt. Although they were pretty fresh and dope back then, I don't know if I would have the guts and glory to bring those items back.

If my closet saw me approaching with ANYTHING stone or acid wash, it would close itself and lock me out! I wouldn't be shocked, because I trained it to do so!

Anyway, notice my shock as I was browsing Target's website and wandered across this dress. Flashback to when I was around 7 years old and watching family friend's 'tricia and Tajuana getting dolled up for their junior high and high school dances. Basically, girls and women looked like walking wedding cakes in the eighties! Who wants to look like a big cake?? Better yet, who decided that this would be a dress to bring back?? Oh...Isaac Mizrahi.

Don't get me wrong, I have never had a problem with fashions from the yesteryears coming back ever now and then, however, some of the things need to say in the past. Example, this poofy, pastry party dress.

But ladies, the 80's flashback hasn't been to stifled to just the clothing department.

As I was indulging in my daily stipend of Hip Candy on day, I noticed that the always on fashion watch Chanel spotted that the make-up from the 80s is slowly creeping back; case in point, the hot pink lips that Miss Bee was rocking on The Today Show. I tried on a few shades of bright pink lipsticks this weekend thanks to M.A.C's Barbie collection. I must warn you, you might want to invest in a good teeth whitening system, because the color made my usually sparkling white teeth look "mother of pearl" white. Not a good look!

Ladies, seriously, are you ready to take on the challenge of having to be responsible for starting the whole fashion sense of poofy dresses, bright colored clothes, faces, and the stacks and stacks of cheap and clancky bangles that stop at our elbows? Well, I can't hate on bangles just yet!

Stay Stylish!
