Not when it's sparking a new interest in flattering wide-leg trousers, super cute vests and blouses and my favorite cloché hats! I say, "Bring it on! ""Taking a cue from the grim economy, this fall's fashions at Banana Republic, Gap and H&M are featuring a distinctly Depression-era trend of cloche hats, pencil skirts, conductor caps and baggy, vintage-style dresses."
"'Given that we're in an unstable economy and an uncertain political landscape, it's possible that a retro style has come back as a way to connect with our heritage.'"
"'Even though we're in a recession, people still want interesting clothing... They're looking for more classic styles and subdued tones that will last a few seasons instead of one.'"

I would disagree with the writer - I find these new trends absolutely fascinating! I love to see old styles come around once more - they are the true classics that will endure.
The only thing that I do find depressing is the fact that GREY is the new BROWN. This is great for those of you with a cool skin tone (especially you Summers) but for me, a Spring, it's going to make it harder to find colors that suit me. Grey is one of my worst.

Not long ago I discovered this super awesome site called Polyvore, where you can create fashion collages and more using hundreds of images from the internet... or your own computer. I just jumped up and down and squealed when I stumbled upon it. You will love it, too! Check out my profile, watch the demo and get addicted! ;)
My first set was inspired by the subject of this post and is titled "Black and White". You can click to see all the items in detail - tell me which ones are your favorites!
