Karrie and the City

When I think of shoulder pads, oversized blazers, tight jeans, and Reeboks, I think of the totally tubular era known as the 80s. If you asked me which decade was characterized by baggy jeans, flannels, oversized tees for guys, and baby tees and tanks for women, I would immediately think of the grungy, yet cool, 90s. Of course, we all are aware of the equally iconic and horrific styles from the early 2000s, some of which we hope to never see again. But my love for low-waisted
