well who would have thought bellbottoms would come back? when i was in high school only dorks wore them, then they came back around 93 and with them came the bootcut, but the flare never really went away. anyway about the skinny pants, i think it looks cute on really young girls, but when you've had three kids and have an extra 20 lbs on you i would look hideous!!! but i have the feeling they will stay for a while.
