BLAST FROM THE PAST!

O.K. hold it. have you ever had that felling in the pit of your stomach like whoa. well, when i was searching vintage clothing on Google images i found this "prom" dress. my heart fell to the floor. the floral/ neon prints are amazingly in style and super fun. if you don't already know, vintage took a huge place in 2009 fashion trends. almost every designer was inspired by an early 8o's look; and in the beauty section, the red lips were seen everywhere on the red carpet. fashion is forever, trends are not. but trends come and go, over and over again. no trend is ever lost in a fashion memoir black hole; they just may not be the "it" thing at the moment. do not fear, almost every past trend finds its way back into style. so please do not be like my mother and toss every fashionable piece from the 80's, keep them! lucky i was able to snatch up some of her old jewelry, and let me tell you; i where them everyday!

So back to the dress. right when i saw it i knew i had to blog about it. it was a cause for a blog post. on the cover of the new Teen Vogue issue of February 2010, the star of Gossip Girl Jessica Szohr is on the cover. she is rocking the neon Hot 2 Trot dress designed by Max Azria and killer Alexander Wang boots. do not fear, you don't have to be stunning like her to pull off a dress like that, all you have to have is the confidence to wear it. Jessica said to Teen Vogue that the clothes she wore were " funky, fresh, and fabulous." They definitely were fabulous and it is o.k to wear funky clothes sometimes; like the 80's prom dress. which is defiantly a BLAT FROM THE PAST!
