I love everything 80's. The crazy shoulders, ruffles, garish prints, batwing sleeves--I love it all!!! One of my favorite 80's designers is Flora Kung. Her pieces capture everything 80's, and the fabrics she used were totally saturated in rich colors. Here are a couple of my favorite Flora Kung pieces...
This is a great Flora Kung jacket I found at the thrift store. Worn with Levi's skinny jeans, Laloon elephant belt, and Balenciaga sandals.
This is a great silk Flora Kung mini dress I found on E-bay. It would look great as a dress in summer for someone a little shorter than myself.
After the Christmas holidays, Jane and I will be going through our vintage collections and pairing things down. We own so much vintage between the two of us, that is overtaking our home. We are working on a website where you will be able to purchase items along with some of the Atlantis pieces. We'll keep you all posted on the progress.
Beautiful outfit Judy! Glad your blog is up and running -- I will have alot of fun reading yours and Jane's. :-)
Have a Merry Christmas with your family!

I love how you make these 80s pieces look totally modern by balancing them out with jeans and casual hair and makeup. And, those shoes!!! Amazing.

I totally understand about the paring down thing. I live in an apartment in Manhattan and I have so much stuff, that I am constantly paring down and re-evaluating my wardrobe. I just had all my closets maxed out by a closet designer so I can get them to hold twice as much stuff, but I still end up selling some of it on ebay. It will be interesting to see what you put up for sale. Best wishes for a Happy Holiday! And if you are in NYC again, please contact me- I know every store and small boutique in the city, and I know just about everyone in Barneys, IF, Opening Ceremony, Acne,
etc.

Thanks a lot for such intellectual facts connecting with this post ! You have to establish your dissertation, I guess. Just because some custom thesis writing services do that and you can accomplish really good thesis topics likewise.
