[...] the ‘80’s. I wore so much of the colour back then it was frightening. Recently we saw Fuchsia come back as a fashion colour along with other shades of pink and there is no stopping it for Spring 2009. Fuchsia is fast becoming the “it” colour this [...]

Pink is a color I general avoid, first because I don’t look good in most shades of pink, and secondly because it is my sister’s signature color. I have found myself buying a few pink things lately, but no hot pink for me. I love brights, but hot pink (and other brights of that intensity) washes me out.

I have already bought several bottles of hot pink nail polish and have been asking myself if it is something I think I could add beyond that, like would I wear hot pink accessories, etc. Sorry to say I’m not sure I would. As much as I love the hot pink retro thing it is very much in the past for me. But then again, if I saw something really well designed I’d think about it.

Sure-est sign that the 80s are coming back is not the color pink but the model wearing a NECKTIE with a hot pink skirt. We do not need to revive the Annie Hall look, in my opinion. What’s next? Rouge in a bright straight line up the cheekbones?

I like pinks that have purple tones in it.

I’d be happy if turquoise is an “it” color. It’s one of my favorite colors and is my birthstone. I have a lot of turquoise jewlery that has been given to me over the years.

That skirt is exquisite. Well tailored, just the right shade. Reminds me of a favorite cashmere scarf I have. I hadn’t checked out the retailer selling it, so thank you for posting it.

More pink cult followers.

Tanya, a winkle-picker is a pointy-toed, classic pump with a narrow heel. The styles we wore in the ’80’s that looked awfully plastic-y. Similar to these:

eeep! Brights don’t work for me at all, I’ve got very soft colouring. If 80’s colours are coming back, does that mean 80’s shapes are coming back too? If so, I’m in trouble. I blame the London 2012 Olympics logo that was released last year – turquoise, hot pink and jagged! Graphic designers drooled over it at the time, I guess the fashion designers loved it too.
