As far as mall fashion, who knew that the 80s are back? There was an abundance of neon that absolutly blew my mind. I was shocked. One of the stores was so filed with hot pink, I couldn't tell which side was the men's section. I took some pictures. They were sadly, taken on my cell phone and while trying to not attract attention so sorry they are out of focus but...
More neon pants
Neon shirts
A little bit of both.
And...
In my opinion, the worst offense of all!
Back to the mall, there were so many empty store fronts, it felt creepy, especially on the JC Penny side. There was an arcade that could have had dead bodies piled in the back because NOBODY was in there. I remember back in the original 80s when arcades were where it was at but man, this place was scary.
Waldenbooks is gone. Instead, the store was set up as if there was a seminar scheduled to take place.
The food court has ONE restaurant. It's a burger joint. The other half of the court is just a display for a furniture store.
Every store had a version of that scarf that Rachael Ray got in trouble for wearing because it was "Jihadi-chic." See article here. Seriously, Hallmark probably had them. They were everywhere. Even dudes were wearing them.
The mall does have American Eagle, Dillards (split into two stores which is kind of bizarre,) Bath and Body works and a cute little Down East store that are all worth browsing. There is even a Hot Topic (Beastie Boys Tshirts!) BUT as I was leaving yesterday I thought that it will have to be a while until I can drag myself back into that place again except when I called Fluke this afternoon he asked if I could go pick up the ink cartridges he had dropped off AT THE MALL. Egads. I was in and out in a flash.
And because this is what you came here for...

This makes me very sad. How could Cache Valley allow our mall to take this downward slide? I have to have those hot-pink sunglasses with the line through them. I can't even begin to imagine how cool I would look.
OK seriously, I don't care hot your body is, no one looks good in tight neon pants. Remember when you used to have to go to Hot Topic for stuff like that?
Have you bought Abby a onsie there yet? We used to and then I realized spending that much for an outfit that is going to get puked on, pooped on, and stained the first time your child wears it just isn't worth the stress.
I'm with you all the way. I hate the mall. I try to never go in there. Usually I do pretty well at this unless I need a haircut and then I have to go cause I'm a creature of habit and have been getting my hair cut at Master Cuts for a decade!
I'm terrified that the two toned rolled sleeves are back in fashion. I think those should stay back in the 80's and in the minds of us who wore them the first go around.
Two words: striped leggings.
