Not sure if I will be successful this time, but here goes. The lookbook I was trying to link to is what Topshop call their "Swedish Summer collection" under their tab "Collections". As you can see there is quite a revival of this 70's look going on.<br /> <a href="http://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&#038;storeId=12556&#038;langId=-1&#038;viewAllFlag=false&#038;sort_field=Relevance&#038;categoryId=208499&#038;beginIndex=1&#038;pageSize=20&#038;interstitial=true" rel="nofollow">http://www.topshop.com/webapp/.....itial=true</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324928 Sat, 02 Apr 2011 08:35:46 +0000 Irene 324928@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyrebirdgully, I think I'm going to keep them for loooong walks (think tourism) and probably style them as you say Long wide bottoms seem like they could hide the shoe quite well lol<br /> Queen Mum! She would have gladly taken them, but her feet are a size bigger than mine, so they don't fit her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324476 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 13:15:08 +0000 Queen Mum 324476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the bags... I'd pass the shoes on to mom since she was the one so sold on them in the first place </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324459 Fri, 01 Apr 2011 10:35:09 +0000 Lyrebirdgully 324459@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The brown bag is excellent, the black bag is more dressy; keep it for slightly more formal occasions e.g. job interviews.</p> <p> The sandals are tricky because they are a very distinct style, i.e very "hippy handicrafts" They would work with pale faded denim wide-bottom jeans in the same shade as the stitching on the sandals. You would need to work this with a soft top e.g. muslin or cheesecloth -- like thishttp://www.topshop.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/CatalogNavigationSearchResultCmd?catalogId=33057&amp;storeId=12556&amp;langId=-1&amp;viewAllFlag=false&amp;sort_field=Relevance&amp;categoryId=253987&amp;parent_categoryId=208499&amp;beginIndex=1&amp;pageSize=20&amp;refinements=category~[253988|253<br /> If you are not attracted to wearing anything even vaguely romantic/hippy/handcrafts, you should give these sandals away. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324036 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 16:48:30 +0000 amyreh 324036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bags are keepers, no on the shoes </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324034 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 16:46:58 +0000 rae 324034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! I agree with the others, especially if you have other shoes you love - why take time away from shoes that are perfect *and* take those sandals away from someone else they would be perfect for? The bags both look timelessly chic; I hope you use and love them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324017 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:56:25 +0000 Irene 324017@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks girls! I have many pairs of gorgeous shoes already, so don't worry about that I actually don't have any space left for more shoes, and it seems like I have two new bags in my wardrobe, and for free! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324013 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:48:29 +0000 thimblelina 324013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think those bags look great too. I am here to learn more about clothes and styling, but I really am an ace at shoes. Believe me: you can do much, much better in the shoes! Release these to a tag sale or goodwill immediately and make space for a much more wonderful pair to follow.

I say find a new home for the shoes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/can-i-make-any-of-these-work#post-324007 Thu, 31 Mar 2011 15:38:57 +0000 Irene 324007@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wondering about this for years lol. These are some of the many old pieces I have in my wardrobe and that are kind of comming back. But of course not totally. So I don't know what to do with them! I do like the bags, but I don't want to look silly with them. As for the shoes, I just feel sorry about them!</p> <p>Brown bag: It's my mom's. I don't know how old it is. It's of a very beautiful brown (at least to my liking) and made of leather.</p> <p>Black bag: My grandma's. This one has golden stuff, which always made cringe, but I don't know, guess my taste is changing? I kind of like it now. </p> <p>Sandals: These are originally mine. They look like brand new because they are. I bought them like seven years ago, and I bought them because my mother insisted that they'd would look nice and be comfy and blablabla. I was like sixteen or so, and have always trusted my mom's taste, and they are comfy. I just feel like they look like little girl's shoes, so have NEVER worn them. Or maybe I wore them once or twice. I feel like giving away new, good quality shoes, is rather stupid, although it's a pitty no one is using them. Do you girls think there's any way these could work and look adult/young like? Or maybe I should just part with them? :(</p> <p>My style is casual since I am a student, but I try to look a bit smart and polished, yet relaxed. I'm into romantic scarves, trenches, riding boots, ballet flats, cardigans and now starting with blouses and shirts. I'm also quite young so maybe I should wait a few years for the bags?</p> <p>PS: Sorry about the outfit, this is how I lay around in my house. </p>
