The ’80s are coming! The’80s are coming! Well, actually, they’ve already arrived for their second fashion go-round. And while those of you young enough to have missed the first era of leggings, shoulder pads and general excess seem to be embracing the revival, there’s a whole group of older fashionistas who are saying “not again!”

But we can’t really characterize any fashion era as good or bad. Each era has its triumphant moments and also has those items that are best left unresurrected. And really, if you find a great 1980s suit and take out the shoulder pads, there are no fashion police going to arrest you.

Of course, some over-the-top 1980s pieces can be fashionably over-the-top, like today’s VPOD. This 1980s evening gown by Lilli Rubin has it all: lace, velvet, fox fur and sequins. Yet, somehow that mix works itself out beautifully.

It’s a foxy find for a vintage fashionista!
