Lost in Laundry

Can we all make a vow we won't start wearing shoulder pads?

I received this promotional email from Kohl's:

Is it just me, or does that outfit scream return to the 1980's? The shimmery fabric. The pleating. The navy blue skirt with black tights. All she needs is a wee bit more AquaNet. Or Rave.

You know you used it.
I spent at least 20 minutes each day in Jr. High with a curling iron and can of Rave,
getting the perfect "bang poof".

I make a vow to you my internet readers, that I will not embrace the shoulder pad, no matter what direction fashion may take. Although....the optical illusion they create would likely make my waist look smaller....

Anonymous had this to say:: I can embrace just about any fashion decade except the 80s! I can't think of one item from this decade that I'd wear again. I will firmly remain "unfashionable" until this trend passes. Long live jeans, t-shirts and tennis shoes!
