Trouble with the USA, imo is that unless you live in New York or California they don't seem to be fashionable judging by some of the American tv shows you see.
My husband usually thinks I am being catty if I pass comments on how people look, even he asked what the hell they were wearing. Must agree IT looked a right mess, the boots looked like they were from a dustbin.
I was in M&S yesterday and some long sleeve tops have big frills round the wrists. I am sure I had something similar in the late 70's or early 80's. Always getting wet when you washed your hands.
