Big and bold it’s ‘the 80’s’…again!

, , ,

It’s been impossible to ignore…even though I’ve been trying to avoid it, and that is the 1980’s influence on fashion near me. Try as I might I have not been able to ‘escape’…I’m not inherently against the whole of the 1980’s…but seriously it’s been tipped as the ‘next big trend’ for at least the past three years!

(Though thank goodness..no reappearance of shoulder pads yet…a truly terrifying thought…) and I’m ‘sorry’ to say…I’ve been getting rather ‘bored’ of 80’s references…there are other decades to ‘plunder’ so when I read it’s a ‘keynote’ this A/W I’m like really?…followed by a big ‘groan’…again! Oh well..I finally had to ‘give in’ though the jewellery featured here is much too ‘bold’ for my taste, and to be honest I could only really ‘stand’ dealing with the jewellery aspect….

sparklingly silver shimmer kinda ‘cheered me’ up…

Also when you look at it, you can really see the 1960’s influence shining right through this decade’s style, it is definitely jewellery to make an impact though not necessarily a ‘statement’ (favoured by those whose style is generally ‘rather dull’…?! Ouch! so I’m ignoring my style!) Any way I did enjoy discovering its re-emergence the colours and shapes and the diamante takes me back to my mother’s ‘gems’ so not all bad…in fact pleasantly better than I anticipated. I’ve not looked at the clothing yet, (basically too scared..!) I just had my ‘blinker’s on’ for scouting out the jewellery…and to be perfectly frank it was rather fun after all…
