Georgina Goodman’s playful pop of retro-80′s color

If you are young enough to have missed the last round of neon and ultra-brights the last time they visited the fashion scene (not counting the rave/club scene) , you are probably the perfect age to enjoy Georgina Goodman’s colorful and funky shoes.

And, with the resurgence of,  guyliner, 80′s reminiscent fashions from leggings to lace & underwear-as-outerwear, puffer vests, and multicolored/new new wave/emo mullets that would do Flock of Seagulls proud, such brilliant, neon colors feel entirely at home added to the mix.

One caution: If you, like me, are old enough to have rocked any (or heaven help us, all) of the above fashions for any length of time during your personal high school or college jaunt through the  80′s, there is a good chance you should not attempt to do the same today.

But, if you must imbibe of the fountain of the 80′s, these Georgina Goodman’s are a low-risk way to, rather literally, dip your foot into the water of memory lane….How’s that for painfully mixed metaphors!?

I have to tell you. Those sandals with the color blocks of black, pink, turquoise, and yellow up there? They bring back fond memories of my first real ‘teenager’ outfit. Oh yeah.  This was no hand-me-down -  a common occurrence in a family with 4 older sisters. This outfit had not a single touch of little-kid frou-frou detail on it anywhere; it was just super-cool 1980-something goodness: a black button-down top with a turquoise collar, a just-at-the-knee colorblocked black, pink, and turquoise skirt, a pair of shockingly vibrant turquoise tights, and my first pair of ‘adult’ patent kitten heels with a bow over the vamp. Oh, baby.

I had those pumps for years.

Oh, yeah, good times & good memories.

These Georgina Goodman’s are just waiting to be made into somebody’s current fashion love and future fashion memory.

Let the good times start for both young and young-at-heart shoe-lovers.

    These shoes are dangerous! I see them making a comeback quickly followed by a fashion free-for-all a-la 1985…. in a good way :)

    I see 80's fashion more and more these days. I say 'bring it on!" I have hoop earings and brightly colored shape patterned everything stored away just waiting to come out!
