Mini mania hits 1981 in this Short Cuts fashion spread from Dolly Magazine July 1981.  Photography by John Pinfold.  This whole spread is exactly what I love about the early 80's - ballet flats, moccasins, colourful hosiery and just overall cuteness.  To me, ballet flats now just do not compare to 80's ballet shoes for some reason..

A fun and frivolous nautical themed spread here with photography by Bob Donaldson.  It's obviously very silly, but I happen to miss this kind of silliness in fashion nowadays!

Skirting Around The Edges - Dolly June 1982

Okay so clearly I'm obsessed with 1982!  The fleecy skirt looks here so remind me of Bananarama - in their early years of course, and especially when they worked with Fun Boy Three (love that band).  The red ruffly top by Jonathan Elliot in the fourth picture I would love to own, and I really like the shoes by Coral Lea.
