The Past Is Haunting Us!



Who would have ever guessed that the fashion faux-pas of yesteryear would now be back knocking at our doors. Now, I know that history repeats itself and styles come back around, but I thought shoulder pads, tie-dye, and grannie pants were as good as gone.

Well surprise surprise. Designers sent their breathing hangers down the runway in almost every style that had been banned a few years ago. And surprisingly....I liked it! The new play with proportions gives fashion feins that freshness that we all long for. Cropped jackets are offset by high waisted loose trousers and sky-high platforms. Or, you can now see spandex mini-dresses once worn by the supermodel crew (Naomi, Cindy, and Linda), paired with boyfriend blazers, and oxford flats. And somehow...it works!

The way trends morph and become the opposite of the past seasons amazes me. The search for new will never stop, and this time around new just happens to be, old.
