As I was back to school clothes shopping for my two daughters recently, I couldn't help but laugh as the styles I wore as a teenager have come back around after twenty years!
This season's hottest feature is layers, layers, layers!
The top eight must have wardrobe essentials for layering this Fall and Winter 2007 are:
1- Leggings - yes they are back with a new twist! Available in more colors and with great lace and rhinestone accents, they are perfect to wear under skirts, or with a long sweater accented with a wide belt!
2- Long horizontal striped sweaters - definitely needed to go with the leggings!
3- Patterened over the knee socks and tights- adorable with a skirt or skort!
4- Hoodies - formerly known as the zippered sweatsuit jacket have been renamed and are now shorter in length and available in a variety of styles, patterns and colors.
Layered with a long tank top or cami underneath, they have become a new fashion craze.
5- Plaid jackets and hats - in black, whites and reds are perfect accessories with a great retro look.
6- Ballet flats - yes they are back again but better than ever!
From leather to patterned canvas to glittered and accented with bows they are adorable with leggings and skorts!
7- Wide embellished belts - a must have for the long horizontal striped sweater.
8- Leg warmers - originally only worn by ballet dancers, they became a fashion craze in the 80's from the movie Flashdance.
(They were perfect to my legs warm under my Catholic School uniform skirt)
Back again, they are a fashion accent worn low with leggings or pulled up high under a skirt or skort.
Available in adorable color combinations and patterns.
Of course no pre-teen wants to believe these wardrobe essentials are what their own Mom used to wear at their age - but it is true.
Glad I had saved some old pictures of me from the 80's!
The old saying "What goes around comes around" surely applies this Fall and Winter season!
