I am an 80's kid.
My favourite movies were all written by John Hughes.
I like Duran Duran. Depeche Mode. Dead or Alive.
Madonna. Well, I love Madonna.
I wore crop tops before all of the kids who are wearing crop tops today were even a thought.
I would not wear one again.
Unless of course, it was layered over a crisp white shirt.

ReplyDeleteI, too, am a child of the 80s. And oh my gosh, yes, Madonna. Not so much now though... Love the crop look!

Yes. The problems of trying to remain current. Not sure what she's thinking!
DeleteLOL love the rubber bracelet comment. I am out too...well most likely...
ReplyDeleteYou look so chic! Love the black and white combo with a punch of hot pink. And, of course, I love Madonna! :)
ReplyDeleteMiss you!!!
DeleteCompletely chic and gorgeous. So sophisticated. And just say no to rubber bracelets, blech. I didn't like them in the 80's either.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of layering a blouse under a cropped top! This looks fabulous :)

How about Rainbow Loom bracelets? Are your kids into those? They're like the rubber bracelet of today. :)
ReplyDeleteLoving this crop top on you!

ReplyDeleteP.S. my mama was young when she had me...I mean young...my childhood was the soundtrack of Madonna. :) favorite song?
So...I read this comment and have been thinking about it on and off all early morning. I just can't decide. I liked her Lucky Star/Like a Prayer phase. How's that? :o And I want to hear more of your story...have you shared on the blog?
DeleteDearest Susan,
ReplyDeleteYou wear a very cute cropped and boxy sweater over your crisp white shirt! I always loved cropped sweaters, but not the boxy ones for wearing solo.
Madonna I liked for her singing but NOT for her morals.
Hugs and stay cozy inside with that much of snow. It is now icy here with lots of icicles.
Mariette
I heard about the snow in Georgia! Crazy!
DeleteAnd amen to not loving all of her decisions. xo
I'm totally an 80s child too and so proud of it......missing my Pet Shop Boys, Duran Duran and my crop tops back in the day! Love that Madonna is still around!

Deletehaha, didn't those rubber bracelets come back not too long ago?? i definitely have to pass on crops now, too...which is kind of a bummer, because i used to love them!
ReplyDeleteI love that clutch so much!!!
ReplyDeleteNever say never!!! I bet you'll be in rubber wrist bands before you know it! Lol! I love cropped tops over longer tops & it looks fab with a shirt under it! Go you! Ax
