She's Always Buzzin' Just Like Neon

Has anyone happen to notice that lately in every store, magazine, or reality show there is a huge presence of 1980’s fashion? If not, then I am here to inform you that it is literally EVERYWHERE! Don’t get me wrong I love me a little 80’s Saved by the Bell throwback style, but when I start seeing scrunchies, that’s when I draw the line.

One of the places you can find about 95% 80’s trends is American Apparel. I was hot and cold with this franchise for a while, but recently I have come to love it! A few weeks back I purchased this sort of “Dad” looking sweater as I like to call it. Looks great with a pair of cut offs or a pair of skinnys.

Speaking of scrunchies, for anyone out there that doesn’t know what one is here is said scunchie, yuck!

These bright denim shorts are so fun and I feel like the model in the picture makes them look a little like long butt jeans, but on the appropriate body type they would look fantastic!

Though I was born at the end of the 80’s decade, I have many pictures of me rocking some sort of tie-dye ensemble and I still like it despite the fact that most people detest this look. This Gypsy raglan cropped sweater is a favorite with just a hint of tie-dye on each sleeve.

If you wanted to go all the way and get a little crazy with the trend go for this psychedelic raglan top by Gypsy also.

Now again, if these high-waisted denim shorts were styled a little differently I think they would be adorable! Dress them up or down.

Another high-waisted option is the skirt. With the denim and fun color choices this screams Kelly Kapowski!

As I have said before I LOVE Wildfox and LNA and they both happen to carry many 80’s options. I need to get my hands on a Wildfox tee soon before I have a breakdown. This “Madonna” tee as they call it, is pretty damn cute and would look great with a pair of leggings or just shorts under it. I’m guessing the cross on the shirt is referencing the “Like a Virgin” song.

This Wildfox tube dress is a little ridiculous for me. Lisa Turtle would put this one on Daddy’s Visa card for sure.

LNA does a lot of cropped tops like this striped pocket tee, 80’s grunge!

I was recently in Miami, Florida with one of my best friends shopping on Ocean Drive and came across a boutique store called LF Stores. Turns out they have a few locations around the country and I wish they had a website because the 80’s trends in that place were off the wall! I mean that in a good way, I seriously wanted everything in the store. They have great bohemian chic pieces too!

Alternative Apparel is a great eco-friendly brand. Loving this cropped burnout tee and destroyed v-neck:


One last big trend that is back from this decade is harem pants, especially printed ones! I could see a big fashion risk-taker like Rihanna rocking these:


Fred Boutique has many options arriving weekly of cropped tops and other 80’s inspired pieces at a fabulous price! Be sure to keep and eye out in the coming months for our new and improved website that will offer a selection of merchandise to purchase online!!
