At least a fedora would have covered up my bad perm...

Spotted in the window display of a French clothing chain earlier today:

I'm not convinced.

The Michael Jacksonesque fedora,

the lace on the shirt,

the sloppy cardigan with too-long sleeves,

the baggy waistband on the pants...

Hmm.

Aren't the French supposed to be trend-setters when it comes to fashion?

Perhaps it's part of that whole "what's old is new again" philosophy, 

but all this outfit does for me is take me back
 to the late 80s/early 90s 

& high school

when I had 

braces,

glasses 

& a perm.
