Those big shoulders over my sloping ones make me look so slim. . .Maybe I shouldn't have passed on the 100% wool houndstooth blazer with the biggish shoulders at the thrift shop on Thursday?

I've saved those shoulder pads that velcro around your bra as well as a ton of various sized that velcro into the garment. Maybe my hoarding tendencies will pay off?

I have to admit, my tiny shoulders are craving some great big old shoulder pads! Bring 'em on!

I really don't get to wearing big shoulders anytime. Love that leather jacket though. And those shoes are all so wearable.

qpswan, How can I forget??? I was teaching, gesticulating (teaching French) when suddenly one of those detachable ones flew out of my sleeve to land on a poor student's head! How embarrassing! Luckily I was young then... I was so glad when they went out of fashion soon after. Swearing to myself I would never go back there...

Or... will I?

These seem a bit overkill, but the silhouette is not that bad!

Some oversizing from Jil Sander SS/2013, too. Check out those hips in 3 and 4.
