This is a public service announcement for next spring:

Don’t believe all the retro hype. Think classic. Think ladylike. Think one or two-even three-pieces to spruce up your current wardrobe.

It bears repeating. Again. And again. Just because some of the designers who recently showed their Spring 1995 ready-to-wear-collections appear to have lost their minds doesn’t mean you have to too. And remember: The outrageous stuff on the runways won’t necessarily end up in your neighborhood mall.

In fact, prime opportunities are ahead for savvy shoppers-if you sift through the see-through dresses, cheek-baring hotpants, disco duds and skirts slit-up-to-there with matching panties-to find fashion choices you’ll want to welcome.
