Is going backward fashion forward?

The other day I almost bought a sweater that was called “the 1988 rollback.” 

The sandals my niece wore to a recent school dance were practically straight from my sister’s 1990s closet. 

Today I did my hair similar to how my mom used to do it when I was around 10. Take note, I very much disliked the hairdo as a child. 

What is my takeaway from this? Never give anything to the DI or Good Will. Or, continue to dress like you did as a kid or teen and eventually you will look good again. I think my uncle did and he’s always looked classy. Then again, he lived during the fifties.
