What to Wear With Shoulderpads, Part 1
We have to admit, we actually quite liked the huge-shouldered top we used as this week's Style Challenge, so we were particularly interested in seeing what kind of outfits you'd come up with to wear with it. And here they are! Take a look under the jump for some more entries, and don't forget to tell us what you think of them!

Fashion Police Fraud Squad: Black Halo Vs Forever 21
Just days after our Fraud Squad reported Forever 21's version of Dr Martens pink patent boots, F21 are at it again, and this time we bring to your attention the "Evangeline" dress, which we call the "A Lot Like Black Halo's Herringbone Ruffle Dress, Don't You Think?" dress.
Forever 21 have made the ruffles smaller, added some buttons at the neckline, and changed the colour (although the Black Halo dress is available in lots of different colours, too). They've also knocked a bog chunk of the price: the original dress was $345 when it came out, and is now down to $200 at Bluefly. Forever 21's version is $29.80.
Which one would you buy, assuming you'd buy either?

Impostor Alert! Boots pretending to be shoes by Allessandro Dell’Acqua
With this one design, we feel the perpetrators of Impostor Footwear crimes have reached a new low. And as anyone who's ever taken a peek inside that particular section of our jail will confirm, that's really saying something.
The thing about most hybrid shoes, however, is that however awful they are, you can generally rely on one of the partners in crime to be OK. In fart, many times we'll find us looking at one of these unfortunate pieces and thinking, "Nice shoe – if only it didn't have a freaking boot attached to it!"
Not so here. While the boot part itself is as inoffensive as only a flat black knee boot can be, the act of pairing it with a pair of fugly slip-ons that look not unlike grandma's slippers convinces us that the designer of these boots didn't even TRY to make them aesthetically pleasing. Because, peep toe slippers? With black knee socks? It's not like this is a combination we'd want to try out even if the "slippers" and "socks" in question WEREN'T actually attached to each other. So why on earth would we want them when they ARE?
More puzzling still: why would we want to pay £245 for them? Or, indeed, ANYTHING for them?
Your input into this matter would be much appreciated. Meanwhile, if you want to buy them, you'll find hem in solitary confinement. We mean, at Yoox.com.

Return of the Scrunchie : the 80s officially live once more
Remember scrunchies? The ubiquitous hair accessories of the 80s, worn by all, looking good on none?
Scrunchies are back, people. Topshop are selling them.
This is how we know there is no hope for the world. The Four Horsemen of the Fashion Apocalypse are now upon us:
leggings (although, OK, we're totally DOWN with the leggings now.)
And now scrunchies.
Its official, readers: we're re-living 1985. And there ain't nothing we can do about it.
Will you wear a scrunchie, though?

Another Balmain dress a-like, this time from River Island
If you missed out on Asda's version of THAT Balmain dress, fear not: we suspect we're going to be seeing a whole lot of that particular style over the next few months, and just to prove it, here's River Island's take on the trend, which is currently selling on their website for £34.99.
This is less blatant than the Asda dress, and the shoulderpads are smaller, which may make it more wearable, too. Pick one up here.

Dress of the Day: Silver grecian dress from River Island
Because it looks a little bit like it could be a Phillip Lim, if you half-close your eyes and kinda squint at it, but it's only £34.99.
