The 80's have been back, as scary it is to admit. Honestly, the trend is not bad at all. I have to say, I have come to love the Fall 2009 and Spring 2010 80's revival. I do have a favorite for work: mixing black, white, and red structured pieces. I think it screams confidence and fabulousness. I need that in my line of work. How to work this trend for your 9 to 5 is by making sure you have a few key pieces:
A pair of patent peep-toe heels
Crisp white boyfriend blazer
Leather black and gold croc clutch
Belted one-shoulder dress (yes it does have a sleeve)
Rolled-up trousers (herringbone or tweed are perfect)
Sequined wool vest
Collar necklace
Grandpa cardigan
Big resin bangles
How to Style:
The white blazer will look striking with a black camisole, the rolled up trousers, peep-toes, and collar necklace (make sure the color of the necklace has pops of red in it). Tie it together with the leather black and gold clutch.
Dress up the grandpa cardigan with black leggings, a white lace blouse or cami, slouchy boots, and layered black and red resin bangles. If you have a little pouch around your mind-section that you feel uncomfortable about, I would cinch the waist with a skinny black belt (you're doing this over the grandpa cardigan). That way it creates a the illusion of a small waist.
The one shoulder dress speaks for its self. Pair it singularly with peep-toes, resin bangles, and clutch. If you are feeling chilly, throw the white blazer over it.
The sequin vest would look great over a black and white blouse, with rolled-up trousers, and leather clutch. Don't forget your heels!
