The other day, I was thinking about how amazing 80's fashion was! And, I'm not talking shoulder pads and running sneakers with suits! Sure, Working Girl was great and all, but I'm talking neon green tutus and acid-washed jean jackets!
Having been born in 1982, I was a little too young for many of these trends (i.e. Madonna's "Like a Virgin" white lace look and high heels with scrunch socks), but for some strange reason, I still yearn for those days. C'mon, who doesn't want to rock hot pink tights with a Gem T-shirt?
And, with the 80's back in style, there's nothing to stop me now! ("No, I am totally going to the New Kids reunion concert, Mom! I love Joey McIntyre and I'm gonna marry him!")
In all my giddiness, I started looking high and low for a website that might have a decent selection of tights in the absolute craziest colors and patterns. At first, I came up with nothing - lots of black, brown, grey and navy. Then, I came upon We Love Colors. They stock everything from polka dots to tie-dyed tights to your basic solids in 45 different shades! And, they don't limit themselves to just women and children. They even have a selection of tights for men!
During my journey searching for colorful tights, I ran into some other 80's accessories that are near and dear to my heart: leg warmers, stirrups and knee-high tube socks. American Apparel, a sweatshop-free manufacturer carries them in a plethora of colors.
Now, if only I could find one of those plastic T-shirt clips! Am I the only one that remembers those things?!?!
