Life always seems simpler when you were a kid. I have loved something from every decade in terms of fashion, culture or music.. My least favourite decade for some reason was the 50's till I discovered the counter cultures of that time. For me the 30's were a transition from 20's to the 40's. The economic slump had brought in a lot of restraint in clothing as well. An element of rebel and/or free spirit is all that is needed to please me. Here are some photos that represent that.

| 1970's-80's glam rock icon David Bowie in an androgynous look..it was different from the androgyny we see today |

| Love the vintage-y 90's feel |

| The horror punk inspired dark vibe is so cool here |
Right now there's a major revival going on when it comes to our clothes. The kind of music we listen to, the shows and movies we watch influence us in a major way. What you wear is the easiest way to let someone know who you are or at least give them a glimpse of that. I was too busy running around in my sneakers and flat platforms and raising extra hell for my mom throughout the 90's and 2000's (Y2k, that didn't stick..it sounded odd to me then also).. The anti fashion era is what I grew up seeing, loose grungy attire and attitude is what I was mostly around. And the TV shows back then were so awesome. Now most of them are unwatchable. I also wore these rubber sandals with ankle straps and loved them to pieces.
Which is your favourite decade and why?
And here's a parting photo..found it funny..

I realized a few years ago that I like the 60s, but after seeing posts like yours, I really love older fashion. I too grew up around the 90s grunge and I think that that style couldn't possibly be more different than my own.

great post!!really interesting and so true!!
ReplyDeleteLMFAOOO at the bloggers collage! That is so true Debi! LOL I really enjoyed reading this post. I don't know if it's because I was so close to my grandparents, parents or more but I have a love for a couple of the past decades. It's like I soaked in all of their likes. It's really interesting, because I see a lot of these styles reappearing in fashion today. I have three favorites. I love the 1920's structured short bobs, flapper style dresses and hats. I love the suits and dresses of the 1940's. I adore the full skirts and full dresses of the 50's. I sometimes wish I was born in one of those decades. They are so me!!! Thanks for making my mind go on a blast from the past fashion trip. I love it girl! ((HUG))
ReplyDeleteI love looking at style through the decades. In some ways, it has changed A LOT. In others, not so much.

just love your review :it is interesting to see how fashion evolve throughout the decades. As for me, i prefer the elegance of the 50's :)
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures you chose to illustrate this. I love fashion through the ages, even going back to the Renaissance and beyond! There is always something to admire in each decade. Except perhaps the '80s. I can't think of anything I like from that era. Oh wait, I guess I loved the colorfully creative punk look by ladies like Madonna which was counterculture to preppy folks like my family! xxx
ReplyDeleteLoving this post girl and specially to see how style keeps evolving and sometimes or most of the time comes back!! I love everything but definitely would of loved to live in the 50's!
