Michael Jackson isn’t dead. He is just more embellished upon.
the original inspiration
We all want Michael Jackson, dead or alive.
Officially representing the return of 80's trend in 2009
Oh, some of us may not want to admit it, but you know who you are out there, and you know you do want him. Or at least part of him… and of course I am referring to the fashion fixtures that he has left us for all eternity.
Maybe your “desire” is for the aviator sunglasses part. We can do that! Aviators are HUGE for this fall! Oliver Peoples brand does the most AMAZING aviators! I should know, I have had two pairs now stolen out of my car at the car wash! (and yes , I still go there because they do clever, clever things with vanilla air fresheners.) And yes again, I now might just buy some knock off aviators at Target and take the loss graciously.
Maybe you love the little boy flood pants and loafers part? We can do that too! Just take a look at the newest J.Crew catalog and you will see what I mean. Right there on page 37 there are some “stretch twill Minnie pants”, and they are black and they have your name on them, all for a song. They will define and flatter almost any rear end. You will absolutely wear them with EVERYTHING for years to come.
Maybe your secret wish is to re-purchase a modern recreation of the vinyl or “pleather” red or black “Thriller” motocross jacket, that, depending upon your age now of course, pestered your mom for insufferably in high school?

a thilling memory
Or just maybe you have a private craving for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band military styled, strong lined, epaulet embellished jackets. I admit it, here is my fix! This is a cool cool jacket, no matter what incarnation. The styling, the dramatic silhouette, the weight of it. Put this jacket on and you know you are going out and making heads turn! This embellished style is even being interpreted via a darling striped tee shirt, for those of you that cannot embrace the whole nine yards of this style. Some of my favorite options this Fall are found at www.intermix.com and at www.macys.com.
and it is in purple!
military chic meets French fisherman's sweater
a bit milder but very timeless
Sgt. Pepper ain't got nothin' on this baby
Never mind what put Michael Jackson into the next world, just pick your own poison from the wealth of uber -chic options this icon left us. And live your Fall in the limelight of the 80′s trends repurposed!
