Went to Starbucks for a meeting with a potential business partner. I saw a woman there who was clearly blind about her outward facing appearance. Her hair was styled in a manner that resembled the hairstyles from the late 1980’s. The bangs were curled and sprayed to look like a poodle puff. Her eyes were UNDERLINED with black kohl pencil. My eyes didn’t travel much further below her neck. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS SHE THINKING? Why isn’t her hair stylist telling her it’s time for a change? Or even her friends? How is it that this woman doesn’t seem to notice she is the only person still wearing her hair and makeup in this fashion?

Some people get stuck in a style like a security blanket because they felt their most wonderful at that age/year and are still psychologically longing to be back in that time. It doesn’t matter that they see style evolving on the outside. It’s the way that time-warped style makes them feel on the inside.
Yeah but c’mon! She needs an update. Badly. And I bet once she quits the Aquanet she’ll start feeling connected to now and not 1987.
I’m still waiting for the pre-hippie 1960’s fashion and style to return.
