Inspiration from legwarmers!
I am a skirt and dress type of girl. I am also a coldest-person-in-the-room kind of girl. And oh my if these two things don’t always mix.
But thanks to 1980s fashion flashbacks, I have found perfection in the return of legwarmers. So much so that nearly every photo of me since about the first of October 2009 will include…legwarmers.
They are perfect for keeping warm on cold (and exceedingly muddy) coastal hikes.
They dress up, they dress down, they make you feel like standing on your toes and twirling along the seawall!

So as far removed from scrapbooking as that may seem, I’ve been loving the inspiration they can give, be it in texture or colour or the idea that the top half of the page could have elements that are narrower and more central with the bottom half of the layout having more bulk and texture. Okay, so that seems a stretch but that is exactly how the mind works sometimes!
And… just how many legwarmers were in the costume trailer for this fabulous gem?
I’ve come clean with my 1980s fashion love… is there any fashion item you love no matter how wrong it may seem?
