Retro comeback

I don't think we'll ever tire of "retro" inspiration.  

Show someone a toy, a book, anything from their childhood 
and a smile spreads across their face. 

That's why we couldn't resist these
vintage picnic fabrics

Of course retro is different to everyone
and everyone's got a favorite era;

40's? 50s? 60s? 70's? 80's?

please don't say 90's yet

and everything has a comeback.

But there's a saying when it comes to retro fashion:

If you wore it once, don't do it again.

the logic of the past was: 

 high waistband and bell bottom flare 

Made your legs look 

l-o-n-g-e-r 
did I mention we wore them extra long covering those platform shoes? 

but when we carried it over 
from high school and college

 to our child rearing years..

 this happened

I think the lesson is :
don't get stuck in a trend
