Throwback Thursday: Geek Chic 101

Happy Throwback Thursday folks! This is me in second grade... 

(*waits for uncontrollable laughter to stop*) 

Yes I had coke bottle top spectacles back when they weren't cool. When the phrase "Geek Chic" didn't exist. When cardigans were corny. And sponge roller sets were cool. Oh how times have changed. I went from four eyes to fashionable and it only took 20+ years. Get my throwback look with the following pieces...

 Cardigan: Alexander Wang ($224) | Oxford, Marc Jacobs ($450) | Bowtie, Elite Solid ($37.50) | Spectacles, ASOS US ($34.49)

Get The Look (For Less):

Guess what? I wanna see YOUR throwback threads! Send an email with your Name, an old school Picture of yourself attached, and the Year to luvbrownsugar(at)gmail.com with "Throwback Thursday" in the subject. Promise I won't point and laugh! (Ok maybe I will, a little...)

LBS Fashion Throwbacks

My mom, circa early 1980's

 This weekend, I went back to my parents' home to spend quality time with the family and to play with my adorable nephew, who you guys met last fall along with Ralph the Russian fur.While home, I went rummaging through some old photos and stumbled on the vintage pic above, of my mother on vacation. It just reminded me of how cyclical fashion is. I don't see anything wrong with taking that dress and those sunglasses right off my mother circa 30 years ago, and wearing it today (minus the jheri curl). Don't you just love that about fashion? I wanted to know from you guys - what are some of your favorite old school trends? Soundoff below!
