What to do on a rainy day ? Surf the net , and find cool images !
My outfit : A thrifted dress, 2 woven belts , my hubs Levi's, Tan flats.
Columbia rain hat.
While surfing the web , and wondering what makes certain trends come back around again, I came across the coolest images and had to share them. My first notion was to look at 80's fashion. I lived through the eighties, (barely!) and thought there was nothing really worth remembering about it . Then, I started downloading 80's pop song fav.s of mine and started to remember why this time was so inspirational. Then I got the idea to showcase my 2 most favorite Male Fashion Icons. Two who had STYLE. Creativity and started fashion trends. Here are my 2 favs. - One was definitely 80's , but one who came before, with Real style !
JIMI HENDRIX !
1942 - 1970
Way before the Eighties.....
Military Style jackets were Big as a Symbol against the Vietnam War.
The late 60's was so much more than tie-dye.
Lot's of Capes and Velvet and short boots.
And Scarves.
And just plain old Creativity !
Not to mention a lot of cool !
Jimi was like the effortless fashionista's , his cool started inside and just bled outwards !
NUMBER TWO :
Boy George
A definite 80's Style Icon !
Hats , Colorful eye make-up and oversized clothes.
Lots of High-waisted Harem-style rolled up pants.
Fearless.
The DIY styles always seemed to create fun Trends.
My next Inspirational post will be the 80's Girls.
I love the Clothes Pins Hair Accessories !
Honorable Mention , of course , Bowie !
