Remember The '80s??

Do you remember...

Cabbage Patch Kids; Care Bears
M*A*S*H; The Love Boat; Dallas
Working Girl; 9 to 5; Raiders of the Lost Ark
High-waisted pants; peplum skirts; shoulder pads

This journey back in time is prologue for my newest outfit. I found a retro-styled piece in one of my favorite stores. The style and print are pure Eighties. Even though leopard-print has survived the decade, this particular type of it mirrors what was used back then. I should know: I was in my twenties then.

Do you ever get nostalgic for the past?

Perhaps the reason my mind is travelling back in time is because today is my birthday. My *60th* birthday. Ouch!

Do I look 60 years old? Please don't answer that if you're gonna say yes!

  5. Happy birthday! Such cheeky shoes and cheeky grin.
    I remember the 80s well. I had just arrived in Australia from PNG and had western city culture thrust upon me. Culture shock or what!
    I hope you have no culture shock in this new land, but just fun and excitement and novelty.

  14. Since I was born in 1988, I only remember the 80s from TV and radio shows. I'm more of a 90s kid!
    Your outfit is so 80s, love it!

  15. *Gives you 60 shots, knocks you over, steals your shoes*
    I wouldn't do that.
    Maybe.
    You are a saucy minx Ally.
    I was an 80's baby so of course I remember all those things. I grew up on M*A*S*H and because of Hot Lips Houlihan, I wanted to be a nurse. True story. And so I became a nurse.
    Anyways, you look fabulous! Happy Birthday again!!

  18. Looking good birthday girl :)
    And yes I AM always nostalgic for the past and for the record I still have my Cabbage Patch Kid doll and my Care Bear.

  19. 80's child here! I had lots of Carebears and I detested the Cabbage Patch dolls! Also, I loved the Dallas theme!

    Whilst leopard print is really not my thing, I think it looks great on you here in your outfit!

    Happy 60th birthday dear Ally!!! You look fab, definitely not like you've reached that grand age! I hope you enjoyed some fab celebrations!x

  20. The 80s look suits you!

    I'm frequently nostalgic! But usually for much earlier times (1800s and earlier). Well, for a brief moment, but I do love modern air conditioning.
