The Decadent Eighties Take a Bow

We have witnessed the eighties revival both on the runways and in our own closets, but this upcoming spring season, the decade of bold colors and severe silhouettes is beginning to share the spotlight with the softer silhouettes of the seventies. I can appreciate nothing more than a touch of romance in my wardrobe!

Feminine details like gingham checks as shown here in a Christopher Kane design, are so schoolgirl sweet and simultaneously sexy with its sheer top and cutout sides. It reminds me of something Terri à la Three’s Company would wear (Chrissie’s cousin on the 70s super sitcom).


As quickly as past decades inspire us then leave us, we can always count on a little romance to bring us timeless looks. Some of these include checks and plaids, polka dots, and large floral prints. Take the edge off your style with some pretty plaids or flowy florals and walk into the sleekness of the seventies.
