So there I was…reading my favorite guilty pleasure aka ‘US Weekly’ and catching up on the celeb gossip that draws me like a moth to a flame…when suddenly, I came to the page with Patrick Swayze. So young, so sad, so unfortunate. I chose to reflect on ‘That Time of My Life’. Oh, the Joy’s of the 80’s! For me, the 80’s represented a time of bad hair, braces and blemishes! As for style, I had a passionate love for the Forenza sweater. Everyone had at least one and the goal was to create a rainbow collection of colors-one for everyday of the week. Well, I had to wear uniforms during the majority of my trek through the Eighties! Despite that, I still had a Forenza wanna be from Belk which was banned to the inner dwellings of my very empty closet. My authentic Forenza was carefully tucked away in it’s own drawer-nice, neat and entirely overworn! My hair style was typical 80’s…it was my own ‘Big Bang Theory’ if you know what I mean. I alone kept AquaNet in business. My love for shoes did not exist at that time – not sure why my passion for ornamenting my tootsies didn’t surface until the Nineties. Nonetheless, I was a bit thrilled when I went to market last year and saw the 80’s had made a come back! Good news – it’s much more polised and wearable than ever before. Gone are the sloppy backward jeans hanging off men’s bumpers (thanks Kris Kross) and out with the cheap, rubber bracelets circa 1986 per Madonna! In with the leggings, brightly hued tights, and flowy tops which all started in the 80’s. Think 80’s with a tailored approach to fashion. And, I know what you’re thinking…are skinny jeans still in style? Yes, Ladies…hop on board…this boat has not left the dock! We have grown to love our skinnies…that’s all we wear now. James Jeans offers our best fit by far…higher waist so as to prevent from the dreadful ‘overhang’ that for whatever reason is enhanced the older we get (thanks, Sonoma Cutrer). And, our number one style for the season…James Jeans Denim Leggings! We’ve re-ordered 4 times already and are coming up on our 5th time soon! Don’t be afraid of the skinnies…come on in and play…’You’ll Have the Time of Your Life’!
