My friend once explained why she liked pugs so much, "they are so ugly - they're cute!" Is that how people feel about the 80's right now? The big haired, magenta-colored, leggings and shoulder-pad wearing era has been considered one of the least flattering time-periods in fashion. Just a while back, calling something "so 80's" was a bad thing. Now, we ask if it's 80's enough. But, it's not only the leggings and clunky shoes, and short floral cotton skirts that frighten me. It seems that the uglier and less flattering an outfit is, the more it is "in." You can say, today's fashion is very ironic. So, next time you leave your house, ask someone if your outfit matches - if it doesn't - you are "so hot right now!"
