Well, there's always Neiman Marcus. Cost for this outfit around $800+

They are replaying the midnight presentation right now. The jeans don't resemble this outfit at all. It is TRULY 1980s acidwash, in a bunch of "interesting" colors.

Thanks for the heads up on DG2. This line is supposed to be on TSC next week sometime but I have no idea if the acid wash stuff is coming to Canada or not. Geez, I think I'm officially over this line of jeans because I haven't bought any DG2 jeans in about 3 years. I only buy the tops or jean jackets.

Not to worry. You'll be able to get your acidwash fix in a vest! They showed these acidwashed vests over top of slouchy boyfriend sweaters. It was like a time warp.

Favorite Son,

Will you be getting a new pair of Reebok high tops in a fashion color, or just adding leg warmers to complete the look? {#emotions_dlg.ohmy}

Well, I'd really like to have the whole ensemble and I would complete the look with that shiny banded bottom top from Kathleen Kirkwood.

dooBdoo, thanks for the link. But I'm not wearing those things no matter what. I am a contrarian by nature and don't need any clothes. I guess I'll just have to be out of fashion. The very mention of those things gave me a flashback to an acid-washed flounced mini skirt purchased for me by my ex-husband. And it was during the 1980s. Never going there again.

Remember the ripped jeans?

Acid wash is one thing, but to wear jeans that are literally falling apart, is another.

Was Yuban, then changed to Plaid Pants due to forum upgrade, and apparently, I'm back to being Yuban.

I agree with Favorite SON…I don't care what that article says I don't see acid wash jeans coming back in a big way and I will not be participating if they do. I'm quite sure acid wash was big in the 80's not the 90's anyway. I went to high school in the 90's and acid wash was well out of fashion.
