Fashions on the field
I had to share this one...
I work in an area where there are a remarkable number of people from differing backgrounds so everyday you tend to see something that just makes you stop and think 'you've got to be kidding me' or 'have I walked into a timewarp' or my favourite 'you're mother let you out of the house looking like that?!'
Now, I'm not the most fashionable person, pieces of my wardrobe are at least 4 years old but they are comfy, looked after and I don't dress to shabbily if I do say so myself (says me clad in maternity jeans which I think frankly look Hawt! (to claim Stephs word), black ankle boots and a rather saucy little black knit (hey, it was blowing a gale and freezing this morning!)). But as I was wandering through the corridor the other day, I had to stop and do a double take.
Cowboy boots in patchwork, yes, patchwork. Demin, red leather, brown suede and some black shiny material. All made into a cowboy book.
Then black tights to just above said boots.
3 tiered denim skirt with white lace underskirt, almost like a tutu.
White lace shirt, worn under a black cardigan worn under a denim bolero jacket.
Black teased hair.
Black raccoon eye liner.
Only thing missing was the black or white lace gloves.
HULLOOO WE"VE GONE BACK TO THE 80'S!!!
I fully expected to see a Michael Jackson look alike walk past shortly after, especially someone who looked like him before he discovered skin bleach and his nose fell off.

Ohh If the eighties come back i'll raid my Aunties wardrobe. She still has a teased fringe and "Go-Go" shirt!

Oh, balloon skirts are really coming back. And you just know a bunch of girls are going to go against what suits them and buckle up.
