"Worst 80's Fashions," Lovelyish? Try "Best!"
I have just read the post 10 Worst 80's Fashion Trends That Keep Coming Back! (Pt. 1/2) and was just slightly offended by the post. Sure, some of the things mentioned in this post are terrible trends, but what about the ones that actually aren't that bad?
I personally don't think there is anything wrong with neon. Sure, maybe you don't want an entire blinding outfit, but some pieces are ok. Like maybe you do like the coloured denim trend. I'm actually wearing purple jeans right now, if you must know.
And spandex pants are perfectly fine. By the way, what you call so rudely a "'yoga' trend" is actually a calming sport that can help relieve you of stress in your life and help you get in shape. Yoga pants are very comfortable and people enjoy wearing them. Also, it makes people butts look good (mostly) and that's good. Sure, fat people shouldn't wear tight clothes, but that what plus sizes are for. Whatever you feel comfortable in you should wear.
Acid wash jeans may not be the best choice of legwear, but it's part of the distressed trend in a way. I would wear jeans that were a little bleached, maybe not bleached all over, but a little. Maybe you just need to read some fashion magazines.
Crimped hair can look good if you do it properly. You shouldn't be crimping every single strand, but just some to add a fun flavour to your hairstyle.
What exactly is wrong with legwarmers and socks over pants? My school wears red and gray socks over their pants to show team spirit. If you repeatedly have issues with stepping on your pantlegs, there is nothing wrong with tucking them in. And legwarmers really do keep your legs warm! It can look cute with short heels and a dress for a casual Autumn day.
So, please. Stop bashing us fashionable people and pick up a Flare or a Vogue and get in style. We'll all appreciate it when you are no longer insulting us, but joining us instead.
What's your take on this debate?

just like relient k I too am in love with the 80's :]
I'm pretty sure that everyone is entitled to their own opinion. That being said, I think that Vogue is beyond overrated and I doubt I've ever seen acid wash jeans or spandex in an issue of it.
@coffeeishappinessinacup@xanga - haha, I agree.
Just cause it's in vouge doesn't mean it's cool. Though you are entitled to your own opinion and you can like it if you want
uh oh, i smell another lovelyish catfight brewing.
(:
I loved some of those trends and hated some as well, who care everyone has there own taste that's what makes fashion fun and creative.
it's never a good idea to blindly follow fashion trends though...
Number 1, you say some things in the post are terrible, but then you defend all of them. So I'm confused.
Number 2, not everything in fashion magazines looks good or is practical. You seem to like these things just because you believe that they're fashionable, which is lame. You shouldn't defend things by citing Vogue. Acid wash jeans are unflattering just as this dress (http://tinypic.com/r/2ibfh2b/4) would probably be unflattering on most people. I personally don't want to dress like an idiot because it's supposedly fashionable.
looove 80s fashion. i agree with you :)
Ilike her fashion, and I really, really like vintage
usually, the clothes featured in vogue are couture or runway pieces that shouldn't be worn in real life, because it honestly doesn't look good on people other than models in a show.
just 'cause it's in there doesn't mean anything, it's just another person's view on what's hot or trendy.
and i agree with @shutThe_doorBaby@xanga, this post is almost like an argument against itself.
you should also watch your wording. :x
"Sure, fat people shouldn't wear tight clothes, but that what plus sizes are for."
that's going to get some comments for sure.
@cornyonacob@xanga -yeah, seriously. Everyone has their own opinions, and not everything has to be defended. That's what the comments are for. If someone wants to stick up for the eighties trend, do it in the comments on that post, not on a whole separate blog bashing the other person and their opinions.
Not saying you were entirely wrong. I mean, some things they said were rude, but hey, you weren't exactly any better !
The end of your post makes you sound very "holier-than-thou" because you read fashion magazines and know what's in "style".
Your bluntness amuses me. I agree! 80s <3
Im too lazy to read this lol, but uh her outfit is cute.... but if only she got rid of that pink thing. It would looook better,
i don't know if you and i are looking at the same Vogues, but jeez. heaven help you if you actually wear some of the ensembles in that magazine.
It's all opinions. Fashion is about expressing yourself. Intentional or not, the clothes you wear tell people who you are, what you want to be. They are your expression of yourself...what you disclose to the world in a glance. Don't be hating on each other for being different, that's what we should be celebrating. <3
Yeeeeeeeeah, I still don't like the 80s.
@emmaleaaa@xanga - Here, here! ;D
Um...I really couldn't care. Those of us who were alive in the 80's don't want to see a return to that fashion. I don't care how 'in vogue' or 'in fashion' something is, if it looks utterly stupid I'm not going to wear it, and that includes all the things you mentioned above.
i <3 neon. esp. yellow
when we got acid wash jeans in at work, I squeed and giggled maliciously trying to figure out what sucker would be the one to buy them. I think recycling trends isn't always a bad idea, but some things just need to be left alone. If your older friends, or parents are ashamed of wearing it the first time, do you really think they feel like rocking it again the second time around? Fashion isn't just for young people.
I agreed with the other post. I think it's fugly.
i agree. leg warmers are the cutest fashion accessory during winter, and neon, if not used all over, is great. sure, bleached LONG jeans might look a bit too much, but idk whats wrong with bleached shorts and miniskirts. i didnt quite agree with the worst 80s fashion post, personally.
