Hive 5: Retro Roller Rink Looks

Lisanne Silverman on Aug 6, 2008 7:18 PM PDT

As a kid, a trip to the roller rink meant two things: an excuse to eat Now 'N Laters (stashed in my fanny pack, no less) and the unavoidable counting of the bruises upon returning home from hours upon hours of making friends with the pavement. Nowadays, it's taken on a different meaning as the perfect setting for getting decked out in all of those quirky, retro little pieces you can't seem to get away with anywhere else. Had to have those sequined shorts for a reason, didn't you? Show them off along with your moves as you make your way around the rink, or bring back the 80s with an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt top for the ultimate in casual cool. Either way, you can't go wrong, and at the very least, you'll be remembered for something other than the time you spent hugging the floor. Check out my SLIDESHOW for five roller rink-ready looks!
