"How much to discover..." (Frank Sinatra)

I hadn't been to the mall in generations, so when I went today, I celebrated by spending too much on too little. But. Who could pass up corduroy khakis and a green hippie shirt and a killing leather(ish) jacket for under $70? Oh, and jewelry for Fall Fest too... being female is so exasperating sometimes. Maybe in heaven we won't have to accessorize.
I'm glad the 70's are coming back, but I wish they weren't creeping in with pseudo-vintage fad style. I wish... and I wish... and that too. Maybe Y2K didn't obliterate earth in a symphony of nuclear bombs and computer crashes, but it sure messed with fashion sense. The 70's are back... as are the 80's... and the 50's... and heck, why not throw in some Little House on the Prairie style? Or maybe we should take tips from the supermodels wearing tents and handkerchiefs? Or from the celebrities wearing nothing? Maybe we should all regress to fig leaves... but then American Eagle would create "designer" fig leaves and put them on sale for $49.99 (plus tax).
At least I know to keep all my old clothes for my children to wear when this fashion gumbo cycles through again.
