My fav 80's girl and the first girl I wanted to look like when I was younger, and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone either. She was the girl that all the boys dreamed about and all the girls envied. Kelly Kapowski was the homecoming queen, prom queen and the aim of Zack Morris' heart. If any of you have seen Saved by the Bell you will know what on earth I'm talking about, if not, Saved by the Bell was an American television show in the late 80's - early 90's set in California. It told the story of 'cool guy' Zack Morris and his 5 other chums. One of them being Kelly Kapowski. When I was younger I was constantly wanting to look like her (I even made myself some pom poms) and now, with today's fashion trends - it's possible hooray!
Obviously there are still parts were I would probably suggest you stay way clear off *cough cough* lycra leotards! But other than that, this look is so easy peasy right now - I have selected a few of my favourite options from my favourite stores!
Kelly was always seen in a skimpy pair of high waisted shorts or skirts, try going for a light wash denim to really create her signature look.
CROP TOP
Forever 21 - £6.00
3 of Kelly's key looks all in one; off the shoulder, floral and crop. She very rarely had her belly hidden, and mind you neither would I if my belly was as toned! Floral print was a reocurring print of hers, as you see her wearing floral on tops, skirts, shorts, jeans and even jackets! Don't forget this is one of Kelly's statement outfits, and look how cheap it is!
WHITE 'SNEAKERS'
New Look - £9.99
Perfect for all them sports that Kelly used to play. It also adds a cute, quirky look to your outfits if maybe heels or dolly shoes are not your thing.
GYPSY TOP
Strawberry Lemonade Online - £20.00
When she wasn't wearing a crop top or an oversized top, she often wore a pastel coloured gypsy top. It's great for creating that playful Kelly look, as it looks so feminine and cute. This one is also perfect if you can't bear your belly being out, as it's not cropped!
DENIM JACKET
Forever 21 - £22
So popular back then, and still as popular today! Denim jackets are perfect with almost anything, and it also helps to casual down a nice outfit for days out. Make sure you go for a cropped jacket and maybe try it with that floral crop top. (Both Forever 21!)
OVERSIZED TOP
H&M - £6.99
Comfortable, simple and casual. Kelly wore oversized tops with almost every pair of jeans, shorts or skirts she owned. Also for that extra step, add a waist belt on top to almost create that peplum style look.
OFF THE SHOULDER
Strawberry Lemonade Boutique - £32.00
Off the shoulder was so popular back in the late 80's early 90's and nearly every piece of clothing Kelly wore followed this trend. It also adds that Kapowski touch to it by the use of stripes, as stripes were also a reoccurring print throughout the series. Create your own Kelly look with this dress and why not add a denim jacket and a pair of them white pumps.
And... Don't forget the crazy 80's hair
To create this look is so simple, one word: BACKCOMB. And a hell of a lot of hairspray - be careful to not spray too much and watch were your spraying (make sure no one is behind you!)
All my love,
Lily
