Let's talk about Stranger Things

First of all, if you haven't seen Stranger Things, I strongly suggest it be the next Netflix show you binge watch. But I just wanted to use this opportunity of being able to talk about whatever to fully appreciate the outfits in the show. 

So, the show takes place in the early 1980s and I need to give kudos to the costume designers because they did a really good job of making the characters look like they are in the '80s. And for someone who didn't get to grow up in the '80s, I could really get a feel for what it was like, at least fashion wise. For each character, the outfit they wore really reflected their personality and to which ever character I related the most to, I could really get inspired and think about which '80s fashion clique I would fit into.

I keep denying that the '80s are coming back but after seeing the show I actually wouldn't mind some of the jackets and overall outfits the characters wore. I will still deny the neon everything and power one shoulders but I can deal with the shoulder pads and the turtleneck sweaters with high waisted jeans. But now, I really need to hand on one of those corduroy or jean jackets with the wool lining.

So I guess I like more of the jewel and earth toned fashion from the '80s and not as much the '80s VHS tape jazzersize instructor lady with the big permed hair and the neon pink sweat bands.










Also, Barb made me really want a pair of those glasses even though I don't wear glasses so yeah. She rocks them.

Also I wanted to add that this inspiration behind this topic was from when I was going through my feed on SoundCloud and I came across a remix by Wiz Khalifa over the Stranger Things intro song so if you want to listen to it, here's the link https://soundcloud.com/wizkhalifa/stranger-things-ft-jr-donato
