So ah, I just tried to do some online clothes shopping, and every American website had bell bottom jeans ? Are bell bottom jeans actually making a comeback in the US ??

I found this on reddit yesterday: http://video.tpt.org/video/2365042610/
I think I'd feel right at home in Minnesota in no time if I'd visit.

Ever have one of those days when you just want to unplug and get away from it all for a year?

Maybe it's retaliation for all the years that skinny jeans have been popular. ;p

All the time.
Maybe a social media break would be something to consider?

Nah, this isn't just social media, it's more like everything.

Wait ten more minutes and I give you a scone with a hot drink.

I'll gratefully accept!

My scones have already looked better, but I made a test and : they're edible ^^° They're the first of this autumn, I assume that I'll have to try again an other day

[Róisín]

Urbicande, sympathetic hugs! Sounds like no fun at all. All you can really do is choose your company, and your battles. Luck!

And Mélusine, first scones of Autumn is always good. Practice maketh a perfect scone, and don't knead them too much!

They can pry my skinny jeans off my cold dead body. I don't think I can wear anything else at this point. Which would be a problem if skinny jeans went out of style because then where could I buy all of my skinny jeans ??

I know the feeling well, hope you feel better !

Huh. Not that I've seen? I haven't really seen them in stores either, but I also haven't been looking at jeans (too many cozy sweaters and flannel shirts to distract me right now).

I hope not. I lived through them once. Surely that's enough for any man.

I suppose that two things might explain my result : the weather (very rainy this afternoon) and the fact my dough was maybe not thick enough... But it will still be nice for my breakfast tomorrow

I asked around with some IRL friends back in the states and one confirmed that they've seen bell bottom jeans in person. So, maybe ? I mean, it was a surprise to me last year when overalls came back in style and many of my more trendy friends and associates started wearing them.

*shudder*

The fashions of the 70s were so dire.  Really, there's no need for them to come back.
