Going Retro

I don't know about the rest of you but every time I walk into a clothing store I am literally smacked in the face by the blast from the past retro 80's and 90's styles!!! Every year I think what in the world am I going to wear and where am I going to shop???
The funny thing is that with every new appearance of the retro styles I swear up and down that I will NEVER be caught wearing those styles again, they were bad the first time around and I will not do it again! But every time I seem to eventually find myself wearing these trends!
It began with the skinny jean and I swore that no way would I ever wear those awful pants, they reminded me way too much of my 80's days of "tight-rolling" my jeans and I was not going to make that fashion mistake again! Well, now I have a couple of pairs of skinny jeans and I love them!
Next came the "jeggings" and there was no way I was going to wear those, but then I bought a pair for my then 2 year old and she looked so cute in them and then my 3 other girls (7, 10, and 11 at the time) were wearing them and I decided maybe I should try a pair, maybe I could pull them off and now yes, I own and love my jeggings!
Well, today came the biggest fashion shock! I bought, wait for it....... leg warmers! Yes I know, I am stunned and a little disgusted too! Leg warmers are the fashion from the past that I've sworn off the most, I think my exact statements were, "I would not be caught dead in leg warmers, and when hell froze over" and yes today I went against all of my fashion standards and as I sit here blogging I am wearing leg warmers and of course my favorite jeggings!!!
