I've seen hints of the 80's creeping in for some time, but as the back-to-school flyers started to come it seemed more inevitable. After class I took a research trip to H&M. Yes, this was strictly for...um..research purposes. H&M is based in Europe which starts the fashion trends, so you can always tell what's coming and start saving and gathering ahead of the US trends. It's clear that long shirts, leggins and the like are BACK.I have a hard time believing I will buy into some things like leggins...maybe just because last time Iwore those I was a little kid and it just seems childish to be back in it. But I think I said the same about flares. So, taking the plunge I tried on 2 straight leg pants (which on me appear more like pencil legs...just a tip for anyone else whose on the rounder side)
Last time these fashions were around I don't think I had hips or a bum, cuz I don't remember looking like a lumpy sack of potatoes on sticks. O well...just motivation since the coming trends aren't as forgiving...
Chilling in pencil leg jeans....yes, these very ones
(hmmmm now where are those leg warmers and pumps)

Rock on with your bad pencil-legged self. I'm trying to find a pair of skinnyleg jeans that I like, but so far I've only managed to convince myself to wear straight legs.
But I am SO rocking the legwarmers this fall.
