I Have Found My People

I was at my happiest in the 80's when argyle and monogrammed sweaters were all the rage. I lived in layered polos with the collars up, my sweater thrown jauntily over my shoulders and docksiders. I never embraced acid washed Guess jeans and IOU sweatshirts~I wore turtlenecks with college sweatshirts and pearls. Ah, those were the days. So imagine my unadulterated JOY when I entered the mall and found THESE for my little man.



And THESE for my big man.


And THESE for my girls.






And for me? Nothing. I still need to lose like 30 pounds in order to wear this~~and yes it IS that tiny!


I am SO thrilled to see preppy coming back in a big way this spring. I just adore it and probably always will. So what's one thing you'd LOVE to see come back. A whole look or just one piece you loved? The banana clip? Tight-rolled jeans?

I'd love for big hair to come back. Dorky as it may be, my hair has not looked good since the 80's. I think I still have it in me to use a gallon of hairspray a day!

Now the whole family is going to match! It wasn't enough for the girls, now the boys and you have to get in on it - just imagine what the family will say when you arrive at Christmas this year all of you decked out in your matching Christmas outfits!!
What do I want to come back? Criss-Cross Jeans - I have always wanted to wear my jeans backwards! Maybe even the overalls where you wear one strap or both straps down!! Just kidding :-) I don't care to see any of it come back really - guess I'm not old enough yet since I'm only turning 29 again this year :-)
