Did you get it? 'Cause I have just the necklace. Coral (real) beads. A little on the pinky side but as versatile as pearls. One of my favorite pieces. (Love little second hand shops with good buyers.)

I like waist fitted pants because I have a smaller waist...all the other types off pants fall off and down...

What stores have you been spotting this trend at? I have seen some at the Gap--but want more!

They are cute but there's no way I would want the lighter color...those pants look like they would show everything....

I hope so...I'm so sick of the maternity look!!! Where I'm curvy and prefer to have a fitted waist.

The 80s are over for good at the moment.... other than skinny jeans, nothing 80s is in at the moment. The spring runway was full of 70s looks though....

Not yet. Between one daughter's Winter Formal this weekend and getting my cat spayed today, my wallet is hurting.

I will be next door to the shop tomorrow, though, and I will visit the skirt and maybe try it on.

Super high wedges are pretty much everywhere too... they go well with the wide leg/flare pant.

They wear out because you bought them at Old Navy.

Hmmm...you spend thousands on skin care and shop at Old Navy?

I find many good things at mass market chains. I just wish H&M would become go national.....I think even Texas got one. You can find cute things just about anywhere these days! Fast fashion is totally relevant.
