STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK: 80s Revival

Style and trends always find their way back around. We always question what our parents wore when they were young, yet we have similar items in our closet that are secretly some of our favorite pieces. Madonna created a buzz with her outfit choices and this Fashionista is very reminiscent of that style icon.

Today's Fashionista wore lace fingerless gloves, a short-sleeved black and white polka dot shirt, contrasting leggings, leg warmers and TOMS shoes. Everything about this outfit reminded me of the '80s, but rejuvenated. I liked the contrasting patterns of the shirt with the leggings, which had tiny flowers on them and were only noticeable with a closer look. Black is a color that will always be in. Adding a pop of color to a mostly black ensemble helps to break up the darkness and let the wearer’s personality shine through.

The addition of the legwarmers and the Ray Ban sunglasses, or Ray Ban-like sunglasses, give this outfit an edgy punch to it and makes people do a double take to see what this Fashionista is really wearing. Adding a studded leather jacket would have taken this outfit to a whole new level, also making this outfit ready for nightlife.
