At least it’s not all 80’s neon. I think they ARE trying very hard to ressurect all things 80’s. Some things should stay dead.

BTW, I think you look best in the colors you say you like. Your hair in particular just goes with autumn. Yes, the entire season.

I would rather see a girl in a swimsuit than a power tool, any day!

Luckily, there’s always black.

Ooo. My favorite types of colors are back in? Maybe I should go do my once-per-decade shopping now…

I’m like Tania in that I look awful in earthtones (chocolate brown being the sole exception). Cool jewel-tones are more my style. Some of the colors shown above (NOT the pastels) might work for me, but the excessive ruffling and skinny jeans will definitely not. Sorry that you’re striking out in the shopping “department”!

PS – Love that the eye candy you put at the top is a realistically sized woman!

Yeah, I’m thinking more sewing this year as well, but the last time I sewed my own clothes patterns were about $5, now they’re $15!! Yikes!

I headed over to my favorite Macy’s Womans department right before Christmas and half of it was dedicated over to the winter coats. Hmph. Some of my favorite brands were not in evidence and the prices were outrageous. The color palate of brights & flourescents definately not to my liking.

Next stop was Coldwater Creek & Talbots, a little better, they’re at least showing decent colors, but didn’t have my size in a couple things so will have to wait for their sale that comes up soon. Finally managed to find some slacks when I was in NC over the holidays at a Belks, will have to check the stores here to see if they’re carrying the same line.

As for colors, purple & teal are my alltime favorites, but I prefer the darker conservative shades to the super dagloey brights. Pair them with an assortment of neutrals and I’m a happy camper. Blazers are either multi colored tapestry or solid/tweedy basics.

Since I work in a business casual office, I only have to worry about dressy business suits for days I go to court with the boss.

Some of those colors would look nifty on a Ford F-150! (Do they still make those? D’oh!)

How very disappointing. I suspect this means that my “I’ve reached my goal shopping spree” is going to be more shopping and less spree…

Earth tones don’t work for me. Some of those colors are a bit much for my tending toward conservative tastes, but this might luck out and be a year I get to buy clothes in colors I like. Yay!

(sorry Jeri)
