Sifting through my formal dresses the other day, I felt a desire for the days when wearing long evening gloves was de rigueur, at least for the well-heeled, of course. For one, they felt luxurious because they were often made from silk, satin and kidskin. (Ouch. The near-vegan in me is wincing.) For two, they’re super sexy, especially with a strapless dress. For three, they’re the perfect accessory if you’re a germaphobe, which I’m not, just for the record. (In fact, I once ate dirt just to say I did it. This was not recently.)
So I thought, yeah, that would be a fashion trend that I’d welcome with open arms.
Then I wondered which fashion trend I would kick to the curb, and that was easy: pointy-toed pumps. Who in real life wears those things? I don’t know about you, but my feet do not resemble slices of pie, unless perhaps I were to detach my feet and put them on backwards.
Anyway, so what about you? Leave a comment and let us know which fashion trend you wish would come back — or one you wish would just disappear!
I say wearing hats everywhere you go! (Work–yes; out to dinner, yes!) They’re so fun and stylish — and I remember my mom saying you could not step foot in church without a hat back in the 50s 🙂
Hi Adrienne,
Love it! That reminds me — I need to get over to Studio St. Marie for a fun summer hat. Maybe we should go together, and we can each get one!
Bell bottoms, baby!
Hi Maria,
Weren’t they the best? They’re the closest thing to making one look like a mermaid — sexy!
I know. They helped me realize my dream of looking like a mermaid.
HA — LOL!!!!
I’m waiting for bellbottom pants–the REALLY wide ones–to make a comeback.
Hi Alex, wouldn’t we look so cool in them? I love bellbottom pants. I remember as a young’un my friends and I would slice our wide-leg jeans at the bottom and add extra material to make them even wider. (I reckon Mom did all the sewing.) I remember a yellow calico print in particular, which probably came from my love of Laura Ingalls Wilder. Fun memories!
