    and, Bryan Adams was somewhere around the age of 12 when it was actually the summer of '69. So, really, methinks the song's not quite about a year, per se.

    I remember the last time a '60s revival came around. I was in high school. Shannon Faulkner was doing her very best to suppress all of the men at the Citadel. I still thought Bill Clinton was kinda cool.

    Lordy, I'm old.

    As someone who grew up in this era and who wore some of these styles--ack, this makes me feel so old. And the irony . . . expensive imitations . . . sort of hilarious in a sad way.

    I kind of like the bullet casing bracelet, but not for that price.

    This line is one big violation of one of my fashion rules: never pay more for something because it looks old, new clothes should not be falling apart.

    Those shorts and jeans are shameful.

    I'm not sure why, but I have spent a long time being a Free People defender. I am finally throwing in the towel and admitting the truth: this shit is ugly and overpriced. They have a good item every once in a while, but even a broken clock is right twice a day...

    The pants in 5 remind me of the bellbottoms that we used to make in junior high with an old pair of jeans and scraps of fabric. Only ours were less expensive and looked way better, I think.

    @KiddyKat: 28 in Sac, I just about died, and the tracks were frozen or something so we had to stand around in the cold waiting for the train for like 20 minutes.

    @Penny: OMG, I feel you. I use CalTrain to commute to the South Bay. I was just thinking this morning how annoying it is when my East Coast friends tease me for thinking this is extremely cold. Look, I know it gets colder for you but this is still cold by any standards.

    HAH, I work at Free People (money, people, it's all about the money) and sometimes we'll walk around just acting likes hippies and being all groovy and chill, just to, you know, fit in with the atmosphere, to make it like, zen. Duuuude.

    All of these outfits look sublimely comfortable.

    Is this like their resort catalog or something? They can't be putting out early spring already.

    There is a lot of ridiculousness to be had here. None more so than those ruffle socks on #10. Nothing says counterculture bourgeois more than ruffle socks.

    @TransFat: Lace ruffle socks: itchy, ugly, and demeaning to the wearer. Truly a trifecta of bad fashion.

    As a 3 year old, I could make lace socks that I was wearing disappear if I was unsupervised for over 45 seconds.
