About this challenge
Style trends have their way of coming back around when we least expect, no matter how old-school they might feel today. Wherever new-age runways take us, we can count on the influence of former decades to make a reappearance sooner or later. Trends manage to come back around more than once, and we're looking forward to taking a stroll down memory lane this week.
For this Challenge, tell us which fashion trend or fad brings back a flood of memories and that you can't wait to see come back in style. Are you a sucker for the baggy jeans look or crop tops? Or maybe you're somewhere between the Victorian corsets and new-age grunge? What makes this one of the most notable trends of all time? Is there a style that you're still hanging onto and can't let go of - despite what today's fashion tries to tell us? Be sure to share photos of these fashion oldies-but-goodies in your story by embedding images so we can revel in the sweet nostalgia of past seasons together!

From across the room (or rather, the screen), the Vocal Team fell head over heels in love with nearly 3,500 poems submitted to the Vocal+ “From Across The Room" Challenge. Inspired by the idea of love at first sight, the Vocal creative community once again delivered with heart and soul. After a month and a half of reading love poems, and with final judging by Kirun Kapur, esteemed editor of the Beloit Poetry Journal and creative writing professor at Amherst College, we are thrilled to announce our winners.
