We all know fashion cycles. If a style or piece of clothing becomes worn out, save it, it's sure to be in again. Right now I'm seeing eclectic mixing of several decades, from the 60's to the 90's being incorporated into a single outfit. I am a child of the 80's and will always think that Clarissa Darling knew everything, especially about fashion, when she "Explained It All" on Nickelodeon. If you haven't seen the movie version of the musical Rent, watch it. It takes place in the late 80's. All the fashion is fabulous; its very realistic and has a strong bohemian feel. Mimi is my favorite character and at least one piece of every outfit she wears could be incorporated into a modern woman's wardrobe. Couture designers are taking note as well. If you notice, most designers are including pieces reminiscent of previous decades in their collections. Draw inspiration from current looks and go vintage shopping to find pieces at extreme discounted prices. If you need a modern example of a woman who makes this work, think Sarah Jessica Parker ah la Sex and the City...notice how she can pull off the craziest outfits because she incorporates trendy pieces with the more off beat ones. Be brave. Think of fashion as art and you're the canvas. If you hate the outfit you concoct, you can always change clothes!
