Non.
At this point in the year, my wallet has become Fort Knox and I the $15-an-hour Rent-A-Cop assigned to prevent its breach.
That's because I know that come end of August, the stores are going to be brimming with an entirely new season's crop of cozy knits and suedey boots and tailored pants and woolen caps and unless I want to spend all of October de-pilling last year's sweaters, I must start saving my . . .
. . . wait a minute.
What's this?
Crap.
I knew it, just knew it.
I knew there would eventually come a time when, in response to 1982 calling yet again to ask for its shoulder pads back, designers everywhere would simply decide to hang up the phone.
If ever in your life you've wondered whether your wardrobe simply would NOT be complete without a Pepto Bismol-colored, shipping crate-sized "cocoon coat" in which to drown your fashion challenged sorrows? Well, wonder no more:

Thank goodness the wedding already happened and my needs for fancy duds is back on DefCon 5.
Say it isn't so! #1 would be cute if not for shoulder pads or bubble skirt (if that is what it is called). And I thought I saw that pink coat on Prince once back in the day.
P.S. I thought that Photo #2 was Alice Cooper. Seriously.
J. Crew gives 70 percent off? Can I get another one of those flowy knit skirts? Our Fall doesn't start until December.
I'm glad I'm a guy. A straight guy. As long as I keep myself looking clean I'm ahead of the game.
gah!
I just threw up in my mouth a little. You could block the entire Dallas Cowboys offensive line with shoulder pads like that. BUH!
Dang it, how'd I miss a Fashion Post???
I have a deep love for new clothes and August.. I think it goes back to the "back to school" daze and the great feeling of buying a new personality. But this year? Yeah, it ain't working for me and it's no surprise that when I needed something to wear this past weekend, I reached deep into my closet and pulled out something,
classic.
Shamu: Threat Level: Blue. Or is that, Whew?
Pam: Photo #1 would be cute if it didn't exist :o).
Wendy: December? That's cruel. Although I loves me a year round bit o' sunshine, I actually prefer fall/winter dressing. Illogical, I know.
NYD: Add to that: "and don't wear mandals . . . " and you're good to go!
Aunty: Ja!
kmwthay: Bwahahahahaha!
Boxer: Yup. When all else fails, go with a little black shift and some bling around the neck.
Hysterical. For the wonderful world of Devout Fashionistas this must be truly one of those Palinesque WTF moments.
Ok,I finally realized the potential power of fashion.
For the first time, the clothes are so bad that I don't even want to know what they look like naked!
Is that second one a female?
Doris Rose: I can see those shoulder pads from my house!
Gnome: Good god, man. Quick! Look away!
Gnomey - I think it's Adam Lambert's sister?
suddenly the Goodwill has a ton of in vogue jackets.
well, my wallet has been fort knox as well until i went by the apple store and stopped into anthopologie. uh oh. i bought: a little hen kitchen timer, some embroidered kitchen towels i plan to use as curtains and some candles that smell like angel food cake, the book boxer recommended animal vegetable mineral by barbara kingslover and some oven mitts and some pretty measuring spoons.
ive been on a baking binge so...it all makes sense. not economic sense, but kitchen sense. trying my damndest to turn the cabin into a farmhouse. grrherha
Anthropologie and the Apple store? Ahhhh, makes Shamu happy.
Tipper invented hip pads.
this new trend.. it's all a plot by the drug lords...its easy to store drugs in the shoulder pads and thus avoiding a strip search or exploding condoms of cocaine
Boxer: Or brother?
K9: Oooooo, Anthropologie! Definitely a hurt so good store. I LOVE their tea towels, bed spreads, and morning robes.
Shamu: Both are located within a few steps of each other in Moi's city, too. What's THAT about, I wonder?
Al: Bless her heart.
Emma: Oh, Lord. Cocaine is so 1988.
