10 Fashion Fads From Past Decades That Millennial College Girls Brought Back

Pixnio

While many fashion choices were meant to stay in the past, some were just meant to brought back...

So get ready for a blast from the past. Here's a list of ten clothing items that were popular before many of us were even born that every college girl with style has worn at least once.

1. Body Suits

While brightly colored body suits were all the rage in the 80s, they have made a comeback in a very different way. With all different styles and colors, it's easy to throw one of these under a pair of ripped jeans and you're all set to go.

2. Flannels

The '90s were a time of grunge and punk rock, so a big flannel tied around the waist was a must. Now, a flannel worn with simple leggings is a fall must-have.

3. Doc Martens

Doc Martens and any kind of combat boots were super popular in the 90s, so it's no surprise that today they are a staple boot that any girl needs for her closet.

4. Flared Pants

What's more iconic than 70s flared bell-bottom pants? These are my personal favorite. Toss the funky patterns and go for a solid colored pair of flared pants with a short boot and you might as well go to a disco club with this outfit on.

5. Vintage Band T-shirts

Ahhh, the good old vintage band tee. Honestly, these can be the comfiest things ever and you just look super cool if you have one on. 10/10 would recommend buying one of these classics.

6. Crop Tops

Most of the time I'd think we would want to forget early 2000s fashion, however, the crop tops of that time have had a fashionable upgrade and these are super cute with some high waisted pants.

7. High Waisted Pants

Another one of my personal favorites. You just really can't go wrong with these. Not only are they comfortable, but you're less likely to have that little bit of extra fat roll over the top of your jeans. Yeah, you know what I'm talking about. Don't pretend that hasn't happened to you.

8. Leather & Denim Jackets

Both leather and jean jackets were popular in the past. They're now a stylish way to look cute when that chilly fall air hits.

9. Ripped Mom Jeans

The "mom jeans" of the 80s and 90s can stay in that decade but cut a few holes in them and all of a sudden you got a new fashion craze.

10. Mini Skirts

The mini skirt of the 60s inspired the mini skirt of today's age. High waisted zipper mini skirts are perfect to go out in, plus the checkered pattern is essential if you want to make a bold statement.

You might've thought these clothing items were gonna stay in the past, but sometimes old things just need a new twist to make them worthy of bringing back.

11 Things Summer Nannies Can Relate To

There are plenty of obstacles that come when taking care of kids, but it's a very rewarding experience.

University of Wisconsin Branch Schools

As a college student, being a nanny over the summer is both enjoyable and challenging. Underneath the seemingly perfect trips to the pool or countless hours spent playing Monopoly are the obstacles that only nannies will understand. Trading in your valuable summer vacation in return for three months spent with a few children less than half your age may seem unappealing, but so many moments make it rewarding. For my fellow summer nannies out there, I know you can relate.

11 Struggles Of Having An “Ethnic” Name

You'll never find any souvenirs with your name on it

There are a lot of really easy, common names in the U.S. and while many of those simple names have different spellings, most of the time, pronunciation is not an issue that those people need to worry about. However, others are not as fortunate and often times give up on corrections after a while. We usually give an A+ for effort. So, as you could probably imagine, there are a few struggles with having a name that isn’t technically English. Here are just a few…

11 Things You Should Never Say To A Puerto Rican

Don't Be That Person

Puerto Ricans. They are very proud people and whether they were born on the island or born in the United States by Puerto Rican parent(s). It gets even better when they meet another fellow Puerto Rican or Latino in general. You’ll know quickly if they are Puerto Rican whether the flag is printed somewhere on their person or whether they tell you or whether the famous phrase “wepa!” is said.

To The Girl Who Falls Too Fast, Never Be Ashamed Of How Hard You Love

Love hard, every day, and never be ashamed.

If it hurts now, it'll hurt again. Not because you're gullible or naive, only because you fall fast, hard, and you do it every time.

We fall each and every time with the complete and utter confidence that someone will be there to catch us. Now that person we SWORE we were never going to fall for has our hearts, and every time we see them our palms start sweating. The butterflies in our stomach start to soar and our hearts are entirely too close to bursting out of our chests.
