Wonderful Diane- you look so great! Thanks for sharing!!

You really do capture Jane Fonda's style from that era, Diane, and it is so becoming on you! (Even more than on her, I dare say--or at least your update is preferable to my eye.) The culottes and jeans outfits are so modern, yet with a 70s vibe. And you have captured Sophia Loren's touch of glamor in your dress, sunglasses, and ladylike satchel. I'm swooning over all of these!

You are spot on, Diane. The Jane Fonda inspired coulottes outfit is 10/10!

I knew that your Jane Fonda would be perfect, but the Sophia Loren is wonderful too. I can see you in Greece in this dress - hope you strike a few flirty poses!

wow. You pulled off the essence of both celebrities' style. I can't say which i like best because I think the resemblance to Jane Fonda is canny but I love Sophia Loren's style.

I love that you chose 70s Jane and you did her to perfection. You look very glam as Sophia too. That was a surprise choice but beautifully done.

Fabulous, Diane!

Thank you Sally!

Aww, thanks so much Sharan. It's funny, but up till a year or so ago, I would not have said that the 70's was an ere that I enjoyed fashion-wise, but I'm loving it so much. I'm glad you liked my Sophia too

Thanks so much Carla!

Hehe, thanks Bijou...better get practising my flirty poses

Thanks Sally!

Thanks CocoCat..I do like to surprise...glad you like Sophia too.

Thanks Summer!

Omg did you nail this. Sigh.

Wowza. Can you hear my applause across the pond?

Thanks Mochi!

Hehe! Yes, I can hear you Eliza...thank you.

More cheering from the Yankee section! These are marvelous inspiration photos -- chic and timeless, and you have captured what is best while bringing them into the present.

Loving the blue dress with the shoes!

Love these looks! The Jane Fonda especially was spot on.

Oh I do so love it when you bring out your Inner Sophia! And your Jane Fonda is immaculate. No sign of Barbarella or leg warmers (perish the thought) but I bet you could rock the coat she wore in Klute.

Thanks Beth Ann! Such great cheer leading

Thank you Gigi!

Hee! Thanks Liz! Oh that coat...love! I was thinking of making a new trench for myself this year and now I've seen that photo, I'm loving the thought of trying some leather tipping(maybe faux leather for easy care). Hope all goes well with your new design venture.

Diana, these looks are amazing on you! The culottes are divine and I love how you've styled them. Killer!!!!!

Anyone who can manage to look like 1970s Jane Fonda AND Sophia Loren--and you really can--makes me feel like a kid stuck on a bike with training wheels! Truly fantastic.

So good, last one is gorgeous picture. Interesting that the character adds so much to this simple outfit of a dress and shoes
