not feelin it…

Ashanti and Nelly rocked it.

I love that this style is back I thought Ashanti looked cute.

i know. i been lookin for a rope chain since last year. i already had my bamboo earrings since ATL came out lol

TACKY. SOME THINGS SHOULD BE LEFT IN THE PAST

i’m loving it.. not everyone can rock it but its hott.. history repeats iself can’t wait to see the next FAD

I agree with number 2 I think Ashanti n Nelly are the lead trendsetters of bringing back the whole 80’s gold jewlery thing back. I think they rocked it best

the one who are the lead trandsetters ar definitely the RETRO KIDZ ushuld check their myspace

I LUV THE 80′S AND ASHANTI’S 80′S PARTY WITH HER MAN NELLY WAS THE CUTEST!!!!!!

NOW AS TRENDY AS THIS IS AND AS GROWN AS I AM-I WOULD DEFINITELY GIVE THIS FASHION TREND ANOTHER SPIN-JUST FOR NOSTALGIA SAKE!

I HAVE ALWAYS ROCKED NOTHIN BUT REAL GOLD ALL MY LIFE, BUT I WENT THROUGH A LIL SILVER PHASE BUT QUICKLY RECOVERED, EVERYONE LOOKS GOOD! GOLD IS ALWAYS IN, PLEASE DONT MIX IT WIT SILVER, COPPER, FOOL’S OR 25 CENT GUMBALL MACHINE GOLD, HA HA HA, LOL!

This trend is old…cute but still old…I’m surprised CL is just now covering this one…As much as everyone loves to hate Nick Cannon hes been rockin this look for a minute…I wont venture to say who started the trend back up though…

I never liked the big chains but gold hoop earrings will never go out of style for me. I always have a big ass pair of bamboo earrings for my ponytail days. Love them forever.

Im more of a 70’s fashion fan as far as clothes go……but 80’s jewelry is the sh1T especially the name plated necklace……..

For some reason I love the whole 80’s look. You know they say history repeats itself!!!!!!!!!!

me no likey. at all. it’s too clunky. the earrings, MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYBE. but everything else……put ‘em away for another 27 years.

Yeah its cute, but not at all times……..especially if your in a certain age(coughs) catergory. I mean dont be rockin this ish @work or to church…….trust me I’ve seen it. Nelly & Ashanti really looked cute takin it back………..but we all got to give props to Meaghan Good (the famous GOOD earings).

looks Played!!!!
Played out!!!!

I bought doorknockers last year for Halloween…but surprisingly I rock them on my days off of work and school….they are fun and funky to wear…just don’t swing your head much…might end in the emergency room…lol

I have a dope rope chain but I recently decided to retire it bc everyone and the momma got one now

Boring…Now everyone gon where this stuff and aint no one gonna have there own style. So unnecessary!!!

gold is never gonna go out of style i always wear gold always will

i think very few people can pull this look off but i definately liked how Ashanti rocked it! cute..

Never liked 80’s Gold, but at least it brings back some memories of those fly days when life was so much better, the world was happier and music was better than the trash out right now.

The 80’s style is definitely back.

I knew I was preserving my herringbone necklaces for a reason.

I can just go into my older sisters jewelry box for all of that

I’m sorry, doorknockas will never go out of style.

ARE YOU SERIOUS? THEY JUST STARTED. NICK WAS ROCKING HIS CHAIN LONG BEFORE ASANTI AND NELLY. NOT TO MENTION PHARELL, WHO’S BEEN ROCKING HIS SINCE WHEN?

Time to pull out the clear nail polish

#29 uz a fool!! Yeah the chinese got the dookey ropes for the dirt. I can get 1B silky straight and a fat rope for under 50 bones!!!!!

LMAO@ 30! I know thats right! lol

LMAO @ #29. You know the clear nail polish will preserve the gold from tarnishing. lol. I was just telling my girl I wanted to get an 80’s outfit. But this style is only for those you have style. You have to rock dis a certain way to pull it off.

I think people are forgetting that missy started bringing this stuff back about 3-4 years ago.

Funny I still have my gold earrings and name plate. Never let them go b/c they reminded me of Brooklyn in the 80’s. Boy you would rock your gold and hope no one stole them. Ahhh the good ole times

Remember when you had to use pay phones to call you man
When you take your car radio out of your car
when you had your crew sprayed on your shirt

Remember the sherling jackets and the bubble leather jackets
the kangol hats
the fat laces on sneaker
wearing 54.11 (reebok classics)

oh the gold tooth (just one tooth)
the tight lee pants
the colored guess jeans (i had red, gold, green, blue, black)

ahhhhhhhh

we been wearin dat in da hood they late

I ADORE Nas’s chain…….

Ashanti rocked it well too.

Damn, I must be getting old…I remember when my sister had those horrid puffy gold door knockers and was rocking the three-quarter bomber gooses. LOL. JackieNicole’s items are the ish, I have done numerous shoots with her products.

That was a ugly style…that chunky look “looks” corny…i’m sorry, it’s not me at all…it’s not classy, it’s not unique, just look like a hunk of expensive garbage in your ears and/or around your neck…nope, not feeling it at all.

I lurrrrrrrrve the rope chains…..Im liking everyones chains, even Ashanti’s chain and Beyonce’s Upgrade chain….Im actually liking Rihanna’s earring got to admit LMAO..

Those Rope Chains are wack. Slick Rick never stopped rocking it. Love the Bamboo Earrings. Those are Timeless, but worn at the right time. LoL @ Nas Piece on his chain. I was looking for the 3 or 4 Finger Rings. LOL

stacy h you said it!

yh the rope chains look really good. ashanti rocked that look.

I am so feeling the gold coming back, especially, since, when it was in I was too young to afford it and now that I’m older I can.

[...] - ’80s-inspired chains rock the hip-hop community. But if it isn’t solid gold, it isn’t ’80s enough. [CONCRETELOOP] [...]

Wooow just like a couple of years ago. YAWN

@ #10 Get_Me_Bodied: If you know how to wear jewelry correctly you can wear silver and gold at the same time if you wear it spraringly; actually some expensive pieces of jewelry are made with silver and gold together.

im sorry but this trend has been over for the past 8 months……let teh gold dookie chains die.

im sorry but this trend has been over for the past 8 months……let the gold dookie chains die.

I’m with you #10….I hate to see people rockin gold and silver together. It really urks me! lol

And why are we just now making a post about the gold trend in October 2007? I dont know where yall from but this look hit its peak in the summer…..EVERYBODY wuz rockin the gold. All this post will do is let the followers catch to the trendsetters.

Meghan Good is the only one that can pull off the 80s gold look — it’s still ugly, though!

Why did everyone have to jump on the bandwagon, though! That is what I don’t get! Why can’t folks let folks be original! I bet half these people I see on the street with this look weren’t even thinking about this 80s gold look until their favorite celebs did it. Get some originality folks — good GOSH!

#10, you sound so ignorant saying: “I HAVE ALWAYS ROCKED NOTHIN BUT REAL GOLD”

AND … you want an award for that?

That comment of yours is so 80s! Where are you from — backwoods south! I am not trying to be mean when I say that because I am from backwoods north, but at least we have the sense to know that gold (real or fake) doesn’t make a person. I hate gold unless it’s small. Big bold gold is tacky to me. Even silver in big bold styles is ugly and tacky looking. I am classic: pearl earrings (black and white ones) or no earrings!

I’m an 80’s baby and I wouldn’t rock this shyt..to each its own though

Not a fan of the ropes but love the door knocker my lil daughter has had a pair for about 4 years now. If I want to wear something it aint played out I wear what I want when I want.

LOL @ this being a trend. Being from Brooklyn, bamboo earrings, nameplates & the like never really went out of style. I got so tired of seeing everyone else with their nameplates and shit that I retired mine about a year or two ago.

Ehh, I think I’ll pass on this trend…………

yes we know it’s a trend and damn if everyone ain’t walkin’ ’round lookin’ exactly the same. I am kinda curious to see if this’ll die out anytime soon and if/when it does, what every1 will b rockin’??? Hmmmm…

dueces

I only felt it when Nelly and Ashanti rocked it at her party. It was cute then. But everywhere else? Nah.

[...] TIANNA put an intriguing blog post on RED CARPET TRENDS: 80′S GOLD.Here’s a quick excerpt:For a while now celebrities have been going gold with their jewelry on the red carpet. Rihanna with her bamboo earrings, Nas with his rope chain, Beyonce with the nameplate necklace - it’s clear to see that the 80s is back in this new … [...]

Yeah the 80’s style has been back for a minute, but like everything else it will go out of style again. Luv the earrings though (as long as they are not turning GREEN) lol.

wack. and retarded.how many dummies is gonna get a chain like beyonce?, but in fools gold .

smh @ a few people screaming GOLD never went out of style…THAT’S not the topic.

Anyways. I never was a gold wearer. I stick to the white gold & silver.

I had this SICK nameplate a good 4-5 years ago. Two silver hearts with my name etched between em…and an onyx backing. I was the ONLY one out my way rocking one.

I think the 80’s gold look is cool to rock on CERTAIN occassions.

I went to the jewelrybynet.com site and what in the hell are they doing selling these chains for $100,000…and any coon that would buy that should be shot 3 times.

@ #65, Yeah I saw that too. I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

@#48, SORRY U DIDNT CATCH ON LIKE #51DID, I HAVE A PAIR OF SILVER AND GOLD EARRINGS AND A BELT, I’M TALKIN BOUT SILVER EARRINGS WITH GOLD NECKLACE OR WHAT HAVE YOU AND @#54, NO I DO NOT WANT AN AWARD, BUT U CAN HAVE ONE FOR CLIT RIDAH OF THE HOUR, HOW DARE U TAKE MY COMMENT AND DISECT IT LIKE U KNOW ME. SINCE U ALLL OVA HERE, I ROCK NOTHIN BUT REAL GOLD B-C MY SKIN IS SENSETIVE AND CAN’T TAKE ALL DAT FAKE MESS, SO DONT GET MAD AT ME B/C I CHOOSE 2 SPEND EXTRA CASH ON REAL GOLD THAT WILL LAST SO I WONT GET A RASH, EVERYBODY IS DIFFERENT AND HAS DIFFERENT TASTE AND DIFFERENT SYLES, JUST LIKE U WEARIN PEARLS, UNLIKE ME WHO WON’T WEAR THOSE UNTIL I GET OLD….HAVE A NICE DAY!

That’s not a look I’m going for.

Exciting trend to bring back! Hope everyone tags along this one. But i wouldn’t go overboard with it with the dookie chains and all. But yea i can rock some over big gold earings, and some of the style trends back then!!

Um, #67., pearls just ain’t for the old! I’m 32, look 14, and I wear pearls. I don’t have to wait until I am old to rock pearls because I am classic. I will age gracefully because I won’t be all heartsick when I get 50 and gotta put the 80s gold away — unlike you.

PRETTY GIRLS WEAR PEARLS WHAT ARE YOU SAYING #67 MEANING ITS NOT JUST FOR OLD LADIES.

ANWAY, DOOR KNOCKERS ARE NOT THE ISH..ITS NOT CUTE.

The one who brought the rope chains back out was NAS when he was doing HipHop is Dead tour last December. So, really it was him and the RetroKidz from NYC doing it. Plus you have to look outside of the USA, like at London who has been in love with the 80’s hiphop and pay tribute to no matter if its in style or not. None of these artists are doing the real represention only NAS and the Retrokidz. Get your facts straight.

I’m feeling it.. I love the 80’s.

I rocked my rope chain and bamboo earings last Sunday and I know I was lookin fly.

Lol @ #65!!!!!!! $100k…..oh hell no.
