back in 1989



I could have pulled this skirt right out of my mother's closet in 1989.  Does that make it a Vintage look?  Or just another dated bringing-back-the-80's look?  Or a look that should just go back to 1989 and stay in the closet?

I don't think its a show stopper, but it was actually very fun to wear.  There's something that feels sexy about full body, head to toe coverage. The floral print is feminine, and it felt pretty.  I wore this to work.  Come summer, I see myself pairing the skirt with a silky strappy tank, flip flops, and strolling through a street fair.

Would you wear something that you could have pulled from your momma's closet back in 1989?  For those of you not born yet in 1989...  You can just pass on this question.  ;P

sorry about the slanted pics.

I wish my mom would have kept more of her clothes from the 70's and 80's... so much of it is back in style! Also, I am LOVING the maxi skirt look. Obviously. I have bought like 4 in the past two weeks. Looks awesome on you!

I would have given my left tit for her 70's platforms. They were yellow. My brother loved them at 2 years old. I like this M. You look very beautiful!
