Back to the 80's!
I have been out shopping the past week or two with a 'style consultant'. My quest was twofold - 1 to find smart casual wear for lunches, parties etc and the 2nd was to find racewear. OMG the 80's are back, certainly where racewear is concerned - She got me trying on some suits by Harry Who and George Gross and I just couldn't do it - for you woman who are old enough you will remember the 'pleat' around the waist with ruffles below etc etc 
she couldn't understand me when I said NO NO NO - Anyway got home yesterday and started sorted out some pictures from that era just to see if I was right and yes I was - I looked bloody awful then and this has not changed with time!
