For Halloween Emma had it in her head she wanted to be an 80's girl. So back in the summer I thought we best start hunting for treasures for her costume. Well, little did I know that those fun bright colours of the 80's, tacky plastic jewelry and fishnet stockings are ALMOST back in style!!! We went into the store Claire's and hit a JACKPOT!!!! 10 items for $10 and they were all that rockin' 80's fashion!
So, please fill me in, do I live in a bubble, is it truly back in style (please say no!!!) She had so much fun wearing all the jewelry, the high side ponytail and the makeup that Emma is really hoping it does come back in style and that she'll be "allowed" to wear these clothes year round!
Again, this page was created using the My Digital Studio program but you can easily adapt this to a scrapbook page with paper and embellishments or even a card layout! I hope you like it and I hope you have a wonderful Friday!
Take care,
Heather

Yes, it is definitely back in. My 16 year and 11 year go with me to thrift stores so they can out "vintage" their friends. LOL
And when they are into the 80's Punk/Goth type attire...I make it. Just like I did back then.
My 16 year old even made me buy Aqua Net and teach her the Mall Bang!

I teach high school and I just shake my head every time the kids come in the room, I think to myself "those were ugly in the 80's and they are still ugly now", LOL! It is so back in style. I love this page!

What about you and the baby? That's one thing that I always had a hard time with as a parent was the "fads". My kids were pretty much "preppies" all through school. She sure does look good though, and how I remember those years, and yes they are BACK! as Arnie would say! Stay well, I wish I were as proficient at MDS as you are. Have a wondeful day.

Before you got to the part where you said you went to Claire's, I thought to myself "she should go to Claire's!" LOL
My daughter wanted leg warmers for a cheerleader's costume - Claire's had 'em!

Oh Heather, it's back!!! I have a 14 almost 15 year old, and if she could have everything in hot pink she would be so happy. It's one trend that I thought would never come back. Hope everything went well yesterday with the arrival of baby Summer's. Hope you guys post a update soon, I can't wait to hear if it's a boy or a girl.
Best Wishes,
Amy Kendall
