This was an extensive post I was supposed to put up a long time ago, but just never quite finished it.

You know, we all know – the 80’s have returned.

Tight jeans are back, pumps are back, even neon colors are back.

Especially pink.

Shades of colors from pure, primary red to pimpin’ purple are everywhere. Cute pink, hot pink, and pretty pink have not only returned, but are back with a vengeance.

그 걸 아시죠? 당연히 아시겠죠 – 80년대 다 시 돌아온 걸. 이 사진을 보시면 원래 Halloween 복장 가게의 사이트에서 찾은 “Shoes from the 80’s”이란 사이트인데 웃기는 건 모든 예날에 인기있었던 신발은 인제 리바이벌 패션이 된 거잖아요. 신기하며 무섭다고 생각해요. 80년대에서 벗어 난 줄 알았는데… ㅠㅠ

ㅋㅋ

For example, each and every one of these shoes – from a costume shop featuring them as “Shoes from the 80’s” – is back in style. The shapes are a bit different, but the animal prints, pink and other solid colored pumps, and even white are back in.

Put some stirrup pants and a cheetah-print top on and we’re Back to the Future with a quickness.

The young lady spotted below was in veritable pink overdrive, and exuding girlish coquettishness in a way that is hard to convey in writing or even through photographs. She was trying to meet someone – male, I guessed from her tone of voice and expectant eagerness – and was dressed to kill. From the way she walked, she wasn’t taking any prisoners.

이 언니는 너무나 이쁘게 나오려고 했고 그 super-pink구두로 성공한 거예요. “우와! 대단하다”고 생각할 수 밖에 없었어요, 첨 봤을 때. 어떤 남자를 만나려고 나온 건데 – 막 귀여운 목소리로 통화하고 끊고 통화하고 위치를 성명하고 또 찾아보는 걸 보니까 – 그리 걷는 모습을 봤으면…야아아아…일단 대단한 겅Uㅆ어요.

근데 제일 눈에 띈 건 신발말이예요. 이 신발을 인터넷상에서 못 찾았는데 (아마 무슨 동대문 작은 개인 디자이너의 가게에서 샀을 걸) 내가 봤을때 좀 화려하면서 특이하고 좀 이쁜 것같아요.

누구 더 멋진가요? 이 윗언니는 좀 괜찮은 거아닌가요? 밑에 언니는 좀…뭐랄까? 촌스러운가? 오바인가? 웬지 위에 신발 맘에 드는데 밑에는 좀…아줌마스럽다고 할까?

Inevitable, we have to deal with the question of whether anyone can ever be too pink. Ya think? Is it possible?

Well, in theory, yes – too much pink is definitely possible. But if you can pull it off, well…
What do you think? Crazy cool or totally tacky? I am leaning towards tacky…

어떻게 생각들하시나용? 이 패션에대해서? Comments좀 쓰시지오!
