Go big or go home. This is the response Elle Magazine gave a reader asking if she should tone down the “80’s Madonna” trend this season. We are not sure we agree here as RLS. We say, go rich or go home. If you are reading this blog, you are probably old enough to have been around somewhat in the 80’s. You can do a trend the second time around, but you have to luxe it up this time. Scroll down for our modern, grown-up take on the 80’s looks for Fall/Winter 2015.
Happy Shopping!
