Now I don’t know about you, but I don’t believe in spending a lot of money on the latest fashion that would probably go out of season in a few months, and MIGHT come back in a few years (or not. Begone for good, you shoulder pads!) I do believe, however, in investing on classic pieces like a crisp white shirt, a good pair of jeans, etc.
Anyhoos, I digress.
Today is about more good finds which I managed to get when I was in the city a couple of weeks ago. They were at 50% off the original price (yay for me).
Now these aren’t the tops I’d normally wear, but for some reason the psychedelic colours attracted me. I really like the second one (love the colours).
I wore these with calf-length leggings. Now I know this doesn’t suit everyone as it tends to make people look stumpy. But funny enough, I looked pretty good in it :p The black leggings made my legs look slimmer and somehow the top was flattering on the figure. Oh, and I bought the leggings for only AUD9, so no complaints there.
This look (wearing a longish top with leggings) was actually an IN thing back in the 90s. I remembered wearing something like this to church when I was about 12. Give it a good decade or so, and the fashion returns.
I’m just praying hard that shoulder pads never, EVER come back.
*whimper* I love the tops/dresses! And I love the prices even more. I echo your sentiments about shoulder pads. We don’t need to look like amazons again!
Paris: Haha, my sentiments exactly. I can’t believe during that time, women had to look stiffer with the shoulder pads. Ugh.
Great new look. Great new tops. *Brrr* to shoulder pads!
