Nothing like meeting up with a friend you haven’t seen in ages and discovering your bond is still strong. For me, the experience also applies to long lost shoes: I found these super platforms hiding in the back of a closet I was cleaning out at my parent’s house and it was like we had never separated. Brown leather gladiator straps? Major height? Yes and yes. I first wore these bad boys as an 8th grader (seriously, how did I manage to walk in them while also balancing all that clumsy puberty?) but they totally play now with the 70s being back in full fashion force.

I treated a suiting vest as a sleeveless top and paired it with distressed skinny jeans for something cool + casual. Leather accents came next: brown hip belt, wrap watch, and those killer sandals. Not a bad outfit, complete with shoes sourced from the 90s.

Shop the look:

I couldn’t find the exact vest for you to shop (blasted Victoria’s Secret and their decision to stop selling clothing, argh), but would suggest a cheaper option: hit the men + boy’s suit section. Depending on your size, you could easily swing a boys L-XXL or a men’s S-M vest to recreate this.

  21. I love it when I find old clothes or shoes and they are back in style! I would have thought they were new! I love the vest look on you, I have never tried that… but, how fun!

  42. What a cool 8th grader you were no doubt!! I kind of wish I would have kept more stuff from my teenage days. I think I have a box of prom dresses around somewhere, but not much otherwise. Love how you styled them for today!

  47. Love this! Such a cool vest and it looks amazing on you! Those shoes are so awesome too. I’m seriously impressed that your eighth grade self could handle those. I’m pretty sure I would have taken one step in those and fallen flat on my face.
