I really can't believe how much I have neglected my beloved blog, but I just haven't had much inspiration. Although I draw on current fashions in my blog posts, I'm not a complete follower of up-to-date trends. I like to think of this blog as an inspiration giver, on the front of music and fashion!
Well anyway back to the post. It was this recent Darwin Deez video (yes I know I have blogged about him before) of the song 'Constellations' that made me think of the topic of this blog post:
The amazing '70s fashion really reminded me of a lot of the 1970s style I had seen around the shops at the moment. I'm much more of a fan of early 70s, when the trousers weren't so flared. So these Camel Belted Pleat Front Tapered Trousers from Topshop fit the bill perfectly!
I really like the front pleat, as it really brings the trouser out of being to casual and frumpy. Camel is definitely a colour I associate with the 1970s, and you can never go wrong with a nice pair of beige or camel trousers I always think!
A lovely floaty blouse is next on my 70s fashion agenda.
Well if money was no object this Chloe Pussybow Silk Crepe blouse would be perfect. The low-slung pussybow is a perfect choice, loosely tucked into your camel trousers. But for those of us who have to tighten the purse strings there is this lovely Pussybow Blouse from Oasis, which is just as lovely, and in a very similar colour:
My favourite item from this 1970s revival are the platform loafers:
These amazing shoes are from River Island, and I am seriously debating if I can part with my cash just to own them, (whether I can walk in them is another matter entirely). They also do them is this lovely tan colour too, which is probably the shade I'll buy them in:
Long gold necklaces, bangles and brown satchels are always a must too with the 70s style, but if I started blogging about those too I'd be here all night. Brown satchels are everywhere at the moment, but this Tan Triangle Lock Satchel from Topshop is pretty perfect for the look:
BEWARE, I have had this bag twice and the clasp has broken on it both times! It's just so nice though...
I hope this has all been inspiring for you all! Oh and Happy New Year!
