Okay, so I’ve been totally obsessed with 70s fashion lately. I mean, who isn’t? The colors, the patterns, the flares… it’s all just so good! I decided I needed to try and put together some outfits inspired by the decade, so here’s how it went down.
The Deep Dive into Inspiration
First, I spent like, a whole evening just scrolling through pictures. You know, old photos, movie stills, that kind of thing. I really wanted to get a feel for the vibe before I even touched my closet.
The Closet Raid
Next up, the fun part – digging through my clothes! I pulled out anything that even remotely screamed “70s.” Think anything with a wide leg, earthy tones, funky prints… you get the idea. I even found some of my mom’s old stuff that she surprisingly hadn’t thrown out!
Experiment Time!
- I started by pairing a flowy, floral-print blouse with some high-waisted, wide-leg jeans. Classic, right?
- Then, I tried a suede mini-skirt with a tucked-in, patterned turtleneck. Super cute, but definitely needed some platform boots to complete the look.
- I even experimented with a jumpsuit! It was a bold, orange color, and honestly, I felt like I was stepping straight out of a movie.
Accessorize, Accessorize, Accessorize!
Okay, so the clothes were a good start, but the accessories are what really make it 70s. I grabbed some chunky gold jewelry, a wide belt to cinch in the waist, and of course, a pair of oversized sunglasses. I even found a floppy hat that added the perfect touch of boho chic.
The Final Look(s)
Honestly, I was pretty happy with how everything turned out! I created a few different outfits that I felt really captured the 70s spirit, but were still totally wearable today. It was all about mixing and matching, and not being afraid to be a little bold. The key is to find pieces you truly love and can be bold.
It was a fun little project, and it definitely inspired me to keep experimenting with different styles. Next up, maybe I’ll tackle the 80s…?
