"We’re constantly in a revival of multiple earlier decades — not just one. Fashion continues to borrow and recycle from the past — over and over again — like the looping space-time continuum in Back to the Future or Terminator."

Loved this! And something I've come to learn each time I read your posts.

I’m done with capris, Fawnia! I tried! I’m a short gal and they just don’t like me. However, bring on the bubble skirts! Pry them from my cold dead hands!

Fabulous as always, thank you!💕

I don’t blame you and I can’t do the capris again either — they don’t like many people! Love that you’re team bubble hem! The maxi length ones feel new and chic, too. Thank you for reading!❤️

lol the capri pants are so divisive! Aw thank you for reading as always and I did really enjoy reporting and writing it. And of course you partly inspired it with those shopping recs!🎈

💓 (I did have some blue pedal pushers in the 80s. I’m not sure they were a good move on me, even then! 😂)

Please bring on the capri pants. As a short, capris are just pants I don't have to pay an additional $15 to have hemmed.

How do you feel about it?

I am 5’2” and need a certain style style to not look like an Oompa Loompa! The Audrey Hepburn look - brought in at the knees - probably suits me best.

If you have brands you like that make good ones please share! I remember back in like 2008 when there was a slight resurgence, I had a couple from Zara that fit like right below the knee

That’s a good point! They are versatile. I do love that Audrey Hepburn look, too.
