Made a visit to Bloomingdales today and took a gander at the Fall fashions. It seems that we're back in 1960's--but mostly early 60's. I don't know if this is because of the success of Mad Men, or Obama's "Kennedy-like" appeal.
Here we have a Tiggy look, a beatnick look and a mod look:

I mentioned the return of Moccasins, but it turns out that V.M. was correct--tights and tunics are back as are riding boots.

Pants are going to be more form fitting to go with high boots.

As for dresses, they have the early 60's style--either the puffy girly style or the form-fitting, womanly Jackie Kennedy look--

Skirts are generally just above the knee, though there were a few mini-skirts. There is also that weird high, tunic-like collar that was popular in the 60's for women.
Colors: deep and pretty blues, grays, browns, violet...and the strangest reds I've ever seen. I mean they're really a weird. Not red, not orange, not pink. Kind of a burnt-orange meets pink...
I don't know if I'm gonna look good in any of these fashions, but I really like them. Hip, sexy, feminine, worldly, independent...they certainly say something other than pregnant teenager.
