We went down to Seattle to see The Go! Team in concert, and decided to stay on a couple of days. The morning after the concert we did some window shopping in the downtown core. There are quite a few stores there that we don't have in Vancouver (Barney's New York, Sephora, Betsey Johnson, etc.), so it was interesting just snooping around, takin' a gander - whatever colloquialism one wants to use.
At Barney's, there were two major trends I observed: the boho look that has been around for a while (and that I hope is leaving soon!), and another that's both old and new - that beautiful late 1950s/early 1960s form-fitting look with fitted jackets, pencil skirts, 3/4 length sleeve, a few Peter Pan collars - just think Audrey Hepburn in Breakfast at Tiffany's or Mary Tyler Moore on the Dick Van Dyke show and you'll know what I'm talking about. Personally, this is a look I love - it is just SO becoming!
At Betsey Johnson we saw a lot of flounce, and pink and black seemed to be the colour of the hour. Elsewhere, there was a definite trend that pervaded most other stores: pink, brown and blue where the consistent colour choices being shown.
And guys, if you're looking for a new winter coat, pea jackets seem to be the order of the day.
You heard it here first!
