Whatchoo doin’ tonight?
I’m going to Ice Cream Social at the Biltmore to experience live bands and DJs playing music form the ’50s and ’60s.
(Wink!)
Should be a good time.
As the year draws to an end, I like to think of nothing more than to not think at all. For one night.
In the words of Jim Carrey as The Mask: “P-A-R-T-Why? Cus I gotta!”
I gotta be nonchalant tonight.
Since I’m currently having so much fun playing with all my clothes gathered from the past decade, here’s my final top ten list for 2009.
Top most influential Fashion Trends 2000 – 2009:
- Military/Nautical (my personal fave…Double breasted! Rope tie! Gold buttons!)
- High-waisted pants/skirts (’60s and ’80s inspired/Mad Men)
- Shift dresses (’60s inspired/Mad Men)
- Leggings/tights (’80s inspired)
- Skinny jeans (also ’80s inspired)
- Brocade (Marie Antoinette inspired)
- Architectural clothing: edgy lines/artful shapelessness/balloon skirts (Modern)
- Bows, ruffles, cravats (Marie Antoinette)
- Neon: use of day-glo colour as high-fashion/sporty accents (Modern)
