I remember when I was in junior high, pinch-rolling my jeans to make them tight at the ankle, and my mom laughed and talked about how back in her day the bigger the bottom of the pant leg the better. I just rolled my eyes. How could bell bottoms ever come back?!
Well, of course they did. Not exactly like mom's, but wide-legged and hip-hugging nonetheless.
Not so long ago, my sister and I were laughing over pictures of ourselves in our 80's velour shirts, flats, and one-piece jumpsuits. Surely, the 80's would never return! How could anything so ridiculous looking become cool again?
But everywhere I go, I see long sweaters with wide belts, button-up shirts with cap sleeves, and big plastic jewelry. And tonight, after spending time at the mall with friends, Hillary excitedly told me about a wonderful discovery! "They're like leggings, mom, but they don't go all the way up. Just to your knees. And if I wear them with the same color heels they kind of look like boots."
Those are called LEG WARMERS, Hillary. And do you even know how many jokes have been made about that particular fashion accessory? It reminded me of the time, when she was 5 years old and went to her first dance class, and she was trying to explain about the really cool thing that the teacher used to play the music. "It was like a cd, only bigger." "You mean a record?" Boy did I feel old then.
I know fashion cycles...and I've been known to wear things I swore I would never wear. But all I can say is...if hair "wings" come back, I'm drawing the line!
