Sequins everywhere, yes, and just weird colors and patterns. I like the new style of the fancy pattern skirts, but there aren't any tops to go with them!<br/><br/>Though I did find jeans that fit, it was quite the issue to find them in a non-acid treated, hand sanded, almost got holes in 'em look like they had mud ground into the fibers treatment.<br/><br/>I'm getting to that point where the things I've been wearing since college either just don't fit or are falling apart.<br/><br/>I choose to blame this phenomenon on the laundry mat uber-dryers and not on my second baby - who is now 5 - or the exactly zero hours I have available for excercise. :)<br/><br/>I hate shopping.

Though I did find jeans that fit, it was quite the issue to find them in a non-acid treated, hand sanded, almost got holes in ‘em look like they had mud ground into the fibers treatment.

I’m getting to that point where the things I’ve been wearing since college either just don’t fit or are falling apart.

I choose to blame this phenomenon on the laundry mat uber-dryers and not on my second baby - who is now 5 - or the exactly zero hours I have available for excercise. :)

I hate shopping.

But I'm not sure how that's the new look for spring? Hmm. Confusing. I have been a little gobsmacked by the explosion of sequins, too, but I am just ignoring them. I don't spend enough money on clothes to reoutfit myself every year. And I can count on one hand the number of times I've bought clothes WHEN they were in season. Sales racks only please! I will be happy when I can just fit into the same cute skirts and tops I was wearing last spring and summer. <br/><br/>If I want to update my look, I'll just buy new <a HREF="http://www.dswshoe.com" REL="nofollow">shoes</a>. Peacebang,

If I want to update my look, I’ll just buy new shoes.

They're downright autumnal: chocolate and rusty browns, deep purples and reds. And can I just complain that the PETER PAN COLLAR is back? Very big on kind of military-esque jackets. Hardly flattering on anyone, and then the other blazers are all cropped to just under the bosom, for heaven's sake.<br/><br/>And sequins on everything! Why the sequins? Who do they think they're dressing? Vegas cocktail waitresses? Dolly Parton wanna-be's? This is NEW ENGLAND. We don't wear sequins on our t-shirts. But it's not like I want to wind up in TALBOT's Nightmare Prep Look either.<br/><br/>Good thing I have some good basics that fit okay from the last few years. I think this is just a disastrous season. Hafhida Sofia, they’re not even grimy pastel (although some of them right,and you’ve nailed it perfectly).

And then I will buy three pairs of them.<br/><br/>Gauchos are horrid. Especially when people wear them with knee-high boots, ichhhhhk.

Is this the faded and slightly grimy looking pastel? I haven’t seen the vomitous autumnal hues just yet. Is this the faded and slightly grimy looking pastel?
