2010’s is in 👩🏽‍🎤🖤

OMG, I can't believe the 2010s are officially making a comeback! It feels like just yesterday I was rocking some of these looks, and now they're back with a vengeance. As someone who's a little older now, I'm actually thrilled because I get to revisit these trends with a more refined eye and an 'adult twist,' as I like to call it. Let's talk about 2010s makeup first, because that's where I feel like I can really unleash my inner party girl again! Back then, it was all about strong eyes and often a more subdued, sometimes nude, lip. Think heavy black eyeliner – winged, smudged, or even a full-on graphic line. I remember experimenting with bright eyeshadows, especially blues and purples, for a really bold makeup look. Brows were becoming more defined, moving away from the super thin brows of the 90s, but not quite as bushy as today's trend. For a modern take, I'm thinking of softening the liner slightly or playing with different textures, like a glitter liner instead of just matte black. And for lips, a classic nude lipstick or a glossy finish would be perfect to balance out those dramatic eyes. I've been eyeing some coral blushes too, as they were super popular in 2010. Now, onto 2010s fashion trends for women – where do I even begin? The original article mentioned skinny jeans, and honestly, I'm so ready to pull mine out of storage! But there's so much more to popular fashion in 2010. I recall a huge craze for peplum tops – remember those? They were everywhere! I'm thinking of pairing a more structured peplum with high-waisted trousers for a chic, updated vibe. Statement necklaces were also a staple, often layered over simple tops, adding a touch of glam. I'm excited to bring those back, maybe with a simpler, more minimalist outfit to let the necklace really shine. And let's not forget the rise of combat boots with floral dresses, high-low skirts, and even bandage dresses for those adventurous nights out. I loved the versatility of DIY fashion back then, too. Customizing denim jackets, adding studs to everything, or cutting up old band tees – it was all about expressing yourself. For my 'adult twist,' I'm looking at incorporating these elements through higher quality fabrics and more tailored silhouettes. Instead of a cheap bandage dress, I might opt for a bodycon dress with strategic ruching. And my DIY fashion will focus on upcycling existing pieces with a more sophisticated touch, like adding pearl embellishments to a denim jacket or dyeing a plain white tee a unique color. The beauty of the 2010s aesthetic is its playful yet bold nature. It was a time of experimentation, and I think that's what makes it so fun to revisit. I’m thinking about incorporating tribal prints that were so prevalent, but perhaps in accessories or a single statement piece rather than head-to-toe. Colored denim was also huge; I had a pair of bright red skinny jeans that I adored! I might try a muted tone like burgundy or olive green for a more current feel. The key is to pick elements you genuinely loved and integrate them thoughtfully into your current wardrobe. It's not about recreating an outfit exactly, but rather capturing the essence of the era and making it feel fresh. I can't wait to see how everyone else puts their spin on this fantastic return to the 2010s!
