I was told by a image consultant I must always wear them. Ha, haven't worn them for years (apart from in my work suit jackets). Gorgeous inspiration as usual.

I too have a lovely piece of mohair coating from Ungaro, his name is even woven in the selvage. I bought it in the small country of Andorra. The woman who owned the fabric store would go to the couture houses and buy up their fabrics. It does speak to me from time to time. I think I might be a bit intimidated. Maybe I just need to get the scissors and just start cutting!!

I wore it till it fell apart and even redyed it after a few years of washing reduced it's brightness. It was pretty pricey but my cost per wear had to be pennies.

I have to admit to loving shoulder pads as well - not the huge ones, but smaller ones that I would fit inside clothing with velcro (so they could come out when the garment was washed). I felt that my clothing hung so much better off the shoulder pads (not as much altering to do). Happy days :)twotoasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04432778966553987105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8691319772208152166.post-21721394001861774802013-07-15T12:19:54.330-05:002013-07-15T12:19:54.330-05:00I think Burda has actually done a pattern like tha...I think Burda has actually done a pattern like that second jacket lately.
