That ship has sailed. But I was so fond of that skirt and a patent leather Jill Stuart mini that I&#8217;ve kept them both, and they&#8217;re in the video, along with a Betsey Johnson halter top that made me feel sex-ay back in the day. You&#8217;ll have to forgive me for describing a pair of gold-toned 1989 earrings as &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/wendybrandes.com\/blog\/2012\/04\/dick-clark-madonna-and-my-1980s-jewelry\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Art Nouveau<\/a>.&#8221; I don&#8217;t know how that flew out of my mouth. I believe the ladies in them are much more Art Deco in style. Technically, of course, the earrings are neither Nouveau or Deco, because they&#8217;re just a 1980s interpretation of a previous era.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">My right-hand woman Eryn wanted to take a few fresh photos of the jacket for you to go along with the video. At least, that&#8217;s what she said. In reality, she&#8217;s obviously trying to kill me, because look at how she makes me stand in traffic.
