the 80's called

{gap jacket and tee/ h&m pants/ bakers sandals {similar}/ aeo sunnies}

and they want their jean jacket back.

that’s what my husband said to me when i walked out of our room the other day. you know, if he knew fashion really well, he would have also included my green pants in that sentence too.

you know what else? not that long ago, a phrase like that would have sent me back into my regular garb. but i’ve just stopped caring about things like that when it comes to what i wear. i was comfy, i looked good {sorry for the horn tooting, but i’m proud of myself for dropping all my baby weight}, and i didn’t look like every one else when i went to walmart that day.

i read a quote by adam lambert, of all people, about a year ago that changed my perspective on fashion. he said {to paraphrase}

the only thing you need to “pull something off” is the desire to do so

and so, i will wear my denim jacket and colored pants until they fall wayout of style again. and then one day we will look back at this picture and laugh just like we do at the lovely folks of the 80s. but at least i’m not wearing black.
