1980's Fashion

In a departure from the more common "ultra vintage" items that I usually feature, I do occasionally find fabulous pieces from the 80s for myself and for my shop. Recently I found some earrings that were so "Eurythmics-esque" that I had to buy them.

Earlier this week the owner of mirror80.com, a blog about 1980s style and culture, came across the earrings and asked if she could use them in a blog post about 80's album covers. How awesome is that?

Here is the blog post: http://mirror80.com/2011/11/1980s-album-cover-fashion/

Here are the earrings:














She takes great care to credit all images and products used in her blog, which is admirable (and sadly less common that it should be). Check out her other blog posts as well, they're all quite entertaining.

It's hard to believe sometimes that anything from the 80s could be considered vintage. But it was 30 years ago! And anything "vintage" that is from my lifetime just reminds me that I'm...vintage.
