I know what I like in your wardrobe...
Thanks to everyone who has been in touch this week for a really varied bunch of themes. 'Difficult to dance to' was great fun and 'the less obvious hits' were the favourite themes for me. I'm sure the themes for next week will provide us with just as many interesting song choices.
Monday's an easy one as we open up the Get It On wardrobe for a night of the songs you can wear. Fashion meets pop as we get our Jeans On and team them up with A White Sport Coat (and a Pink carnation). It's quite a look.

The album of the same name is very good, produced by Nile Rodgers and featuring the last performance of Mick Ronson on a Bowie lp, ironicaly enough on an apppaling version of I Feel Free yet the album include an excellent cover of Mozzas I Know It's Going To Happen Someday (the original of which Ronson produced).
So.....duly seconded, great shout HH.
