Etsom·ni·a (/etˈsämnēə/), noun, 1. a sleep disorder caused by obsessive Etsy browsing. 2. The surprising arrival of weird handmade merchandise ordered when one is only half conscious. (True story.) 3. An excuse for me to be an obnoxious, snarky New Yorker once per week.

Do you remember the early days of Facebook (when it was still fun)? Everyone used to do something called Throwback Thursday. For those of you who don’t know, we’d all post pictures of ourselves when we were younger, the cringier the better. My school friends and I typically posted pictures from the seventies and eighties, and killed ourselves laughing at our terrible clothing and hair styles. I thought it would be fun today to explore some of the vintage styles we would have thought were wonderful – or terrible – back when they (and we) were new.
