The dramatic, glam style seems more like your usual style than the boho look and the polish and femininity is lovely.

Dead on. So great!

I especially like #1. Glam and stunning and yet totally wearable. I think the jacket should either be cropped or fitted at the waist so you don't lose the gorgeous silhouette. In other words, pretty much what Sharan said! Karie on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1470500 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 03:07:37 +0000 Karie 1470500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Fabulous outfits! I agree with Firecracker about the blazer/jacket. The belt loops look fine w/o a belt. Firecracker (Sharan) on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1470444 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 02:29:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1470444@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These outfits are super, and you wear them so well! I tend to fill belt loops compulsively. So I'd probably opt for something, say around 1" to 2" wide. Still, those belt loops on front are the kind that seem very decorative in their own right, and not necessarily the kind (i.e., thin, utilitarian looking ones) that I would feel compelled to fill. And I think until I came here to YLF I often wore my belt loops unfilled. I envision a boxier jacket or at least a shorter style (like a jean jacket or moto style), rather than a long one. A long, lean, shaped blazer could work, too, and would give more of a 70s vibe. Oh, or what about a belted safari style jacket, mid-thigh? catgirl on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1470437 Wed, 08 Apr 2015 02:23:41 +0000 catgirl 1470437@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You are the queen of denim looks, and clearly in this version you are the Dancing Queen too.

Rabbit, that is excellent advice and I am going to give it a try.  I need to check if I have the right blazer(s). rabbit on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1470092 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 17:42:40 +0000 rabbit 1470092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What an amazing look on you!  Super statuesque and glam, while still being good for day wear.   I think both tops have a 70's vibe and are perfect with their bottoms.   I think a cropped topper could work, but also a somewhat longer blazer fitted at the waist could work especially with the first version -- since it's close to a column of color.  With belts I don't totally see them as necessary, but it's worth testing out to see if they add something.  I'd go with medium wide ones (probably in black or navy, although I'd play with white just to see with the second outfit).

Wonderful 70s glam and you wear it so well! I like the idea of a short fitter topper with it. Well done! Tanya on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1469993 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:22:32 +0000 Tanya 1469993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thank you very much, Joyce, Suz and Angie! I really like both versions and can not wait for an appropriate occasion to wear them. Angie on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1469959 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 14:34:50 +0000 Angie 1469959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Stunning Killer Beautiful, Tanya. I LOVE #1 and #2. '70s Sensual Glam. You are ready for Studio 54 - and can TOTALLY wear that today. Rock on.  Suz on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1469918 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 13:09:27 +0000 Suz 1469918@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ These outfits are amazing on you, Tanya. Wow! So dramatic and glamorous. I love both and think they do hint of the 70s for sure. You could wear  boxy short jacket for sure -- but I do think the right fitted blazer (fitted at waist) would also look very 70s.  Joyce B on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1469909 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 12:46:58 +0000 Joyce B 1469909@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Your versions of the 70s are fab! I think that they would go nicely with a boxed or a fitted short top. A long one would be trickier to style. I love your suede booties. Tanya on "Fashion Era Challenge #2: Dramatic Flares of 70s" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fashion-era-challenge-2-dramatic-flares-of-70s#post-1469902 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 12:34:53 +0000 Tanya 1469902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Here are are two more versions of 70s from me, this time much more glam then boho chic, both based on wearing fairly dramatic very high waisted and wide legged flares.  One version is more casual and based on such jeans, to which I added a sleeveless turtleneck and pendant necklace.  The other version is more dressy and based on such black trousers, combined with high necked silk blouse with some frills and tie at the collar.  Curious if this blouse has a 70s blouse vibe.  Both pairs of pants are hemmed for 4" shoes and worn with my black suede peep toe lace up booties. I am not wearing these outfits right now, but I plan to when the right occasion shows up. They are too dramatic for my workplace though.  I am curious what kind of topper would look better with them - cropped and boxy or long and fitted blazer?  Also if you would leave wide belt loops empty or add a belt and what width.
