This tunic, from Guess for $98, incorporates many of the fall trends including tunic tops, the colour grey, jersey material, and the 80's influence because of it's wearability with leggings and skinny jeans.

This fall, the 80's is cool again. The most prominent 80's trend is the leggings with the baggy sweater (sans the giant shoulder pads). Here is a similar grey top, though of much poorer quality, from H&M for $50, which looks great on the hanger but makes me look absolutely ridiculous. And this got me thinking, the 80's trend is one of those things that make sense...in theory. In theory, leggings look great (if you have skinny legs and a great ass); in theory, bright colours are fun (if you're a super hip japanese girl); in theory, baggy sweaters seem to solve the bloaty problem (only if you're skinny, otherwise it makes you look short and stumpy). So yes, the 80's trend can work if you're 6ft tall runway model, walking down a 30ft long platform with artificial wind making your hairy go flying in the air, and perfect makeup...it's one of those things that are good in theory...Despite all of this bitching, I have to confess that I own two pairs of leggings and two rather long and large sweaters. I have no idea what I'll do with them, but maybe I'll be able to find a way to make them work.




And also, I saw this great red coat at Zara for $169. It's very Charlotte and I can totally picture Moomu wearing it. Let me know if you want me to pick it up for you.

I do LOVE LOVE LOVE the coat. But, the belt seems overly big don't you think?
