Retro Cocoa: Get the Look: Rainbow Brite

The early '80s cartoon character Rainbow Brite wouldn't have looked out of place at a rave. She was so happy in her technicolor world where hardly anything went wrong. Rainbow Brite wasn't a superhero or a magical princess. She was just a girl who used her rainbow powers, and she could easily defeat any foe within twelve minutes.

When I was a kid I liked this cartoon. The show was fun to watch simply because Rainbow Brite was so colorful. I remember going through a Rainbow Brite phase in third grade. I had rainbow striped legwarmers, and neon bracelets that matched my jelly shoes. Seriously, I would not dress this way now, not even on Halloween, but since '80s clothes are kind of in right now, I have a few suggestions about how the Rainbow Brite look could actually work. I toned it down some, but this look is still a bit adventurous.
