I tried a few 70s looks using stuff I already have over the last few days, with mixed success. I was trying for a more modern take, that still fit my style, and found I had a lot more trouble than I'd anticipated.

1. Worn to work, then out for sushi with friends. Vintage 70s skirt This is another pair of my new boots and I really like them. I'd planned to wear my peacock pendant with this but forgot to grab it, boo. This was by far my favorite.
2. Worn to run errands. Leftmost was the 70s look, but I just couldn't handle the denim+denim. Then couldn't handle the tuck because the jacket was cropped and it left weird hemlines, and wore the rightmost version. So I failed at wearing this look out
3. What I tried to wear. These bad boys (handmade vintage pants from the 70s, they're in my "keep for the memories" pile) are actually high waisted but it was already too much. Waaaaay too wide legged and I chickened out; I should've just taken the photo with the high waist since I didn't wear it anyway.
4. Worn to work, what #3 turned into (just swapped the pants out, kept the platform heels). I also rummaged through some photos of my parents from the 70s and found photos of BOTH of them wearing this exact top combination (with stripes!) so that made me feel a little better about chickening out of two looks. A little.

I will be trying this again because I don't feel terribly successful with this batch (except #1). Comments, critiques, thoughts and questions welcome!
