rising up from the grave!

i love how some trends die and some trends come back from the grave. Some come back with a new twist and some just come back period. Good examples of this are-

1. Leggings: I'll admit it, I own three pairs - black, brown and grey - and yes I do wear them underneath jean skirts. Now what era does that remind you of? the 80s!!! Got to love the 80s. Girls are wearing them left and right these days and I have to say they do look pretty hot!

2. Bows: I have no clue what era these are from but I do remember wearing them when I was younger which was the early 90s. I actually have the funniest story about my old "bow wearing days."

When I was younger, my mom, sister & I used to make these amazing big bows. We used to add glitter glitz and whatever else we could find. My favorite bows were the ones where we added the huge gems that you could buy at hobby lobby, Michaels, etc. I was wearing one of these bows one day while we were watching "Hook." I think it was 3rd grade. Anyways... I was bored to death and so I started to pick off the gems from my bow. I finally got one of the big suckers off and started to look at the pretty thing - remember I was in 3rd grade. So.. I decided to do the SMARTEST thing I think I have ever done in my life - stick in my ear. Well the gem happened to be the exact same size as my ear opening and it got stuck. I ended up having to go to the doctor's get it vacuumed out and be eternally made fun of by my family and friends.. hope that made you laugh.

now girls still continue with this trend, but they aren't normally as large as my palm or covered in gems. Instead girls wear tied in a bow on their pony tail following the "preppy style"

3. Popped Collars- as much as people might think this is a new trend, it really isn't. My mom sadly admits that she was quite the preppy gal when she was younger - wearing lacoste and popping her collar, which was around the early to late 70s. Oh boy mom, sometimes I wonder... nowadays people like Three 6 Mafia (rappers if you didn't know) are making tributes to the popping collar action. Interesante if I do say so myself.

4. Head Bands- Now I loved loved loved head bands as a kid. I was one of those goofy kids who used to always have that awkward haircut that was mix between a bull cut and a mullet. Yes you heard right - I always wonder what my parent's were thinking. Anyways, in order to make up for this disasterous haircut I would hide it with headbands - big, small, with bows attached, plastic, cloth, homemade and storebought - anyone would work. Nowadays girls have brought the trend back.and I will admit that I was never able to let go of this trend - although I think my hair isn't as bad as it used to be though. (Thats me on the right with the headband and yes matching dress with my sister)


Ok, well those are all I can think of right now but I promise you that if I do remember I will add more!
