Plus ça change...
"There's nothing new under the sun." My mom used to say that, and I would invariably roll my eyes. What did she know?
A lot, apparently. Recent years have seen the return (sadly) of bellbottom slacks, bangs, Spam (the kind in a can) as a viable meal staple, and even the popularity of vinyl records.
Today an online ad from J.Jill Clothing promoted a "new" boyfriend fashion look – shown at left. I say: "I've seen that look before." And by "before" I mean "in 1977."
Can you say Annie Hall?

Oh. My. God. You are absolutely right! (I tossed my catalog without even looking at it - it's better that way, believe me.)

Personally, I am waiting for sweatpants and flannel shirts to come back in style...LOL!

HAHA, I don't know if my everyday clothes were ever in style, but I'm with Elise!
I guess it dates me that I prefer that Annie Hall/boyfriend look to the bellbottoms, but my cardigans'll be happy to get out of the closet this fall...provided the moths haven't found them first.
