WIW - I lived through the 80's

September 28, 2011

You've seen this dress all summer long. Now that my crazy meetings are over, I can wear it with flats, hurray! I also tried to make it more fall-like by adding the shrug, but it got too hot and I had to take it off mid-day. Outfit features my shoulder-grazing gold hoops from my 16th birthday. Take a guess what year... quick hint, Salt n' Pepper had their biggest year ever and were sporting them in their videos! Now that's one old golden oldie!

    Nicely styled, I really like the flats here! A bright jacket/cardigan would also look fun with this dress. LOVE those sassy hoops :D

    I really love this look, gold hoops and all!

    You're obviously not old enough to have been 16 circa 1988 so I guess you don't mean the "Push It" year but rather the "Shoop/Whatta Man" year? What was that, like 1994?

    I like your outfit too - you look good in flats (good in heels too but I haven't seen you in flats before!)

    Fruitful, Your first guess was right :)

    Well I'll have some of what you're having then! :)

    love this with the flats, and I love the gold hoops. I have a similar pair and sometimes they are just the right accessory.

    Love it. Your hair and the earrings in Photo #1 are beautiful. I wish I had your skin!

    I am an '80s and '60s girl.

    Great outfit! I really enjoy when you can switch up a look with shoes. And I like Aida's bright color idea too. Nice hoop earrings!

    LOOOOOOOVE that dress. The hoops are great, too! They make me want to shoop.

About

Hi I'm modgrl and this is my blog. I work full time and have two sweet little ones. I have wide leeway in how I dress for my job but I know my youthful appearance and petite stature can make age appropriate polished dressing a challenge. On the weekends I like to have some fun with clothes that can take a beating while we are worm digging and puppy chasing.
