Those pants are very '70s. Nicely done.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-era-challenge-70s-day-2#post-1469998 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:49:19 +0000 Suz 1469998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would totally have worn those pants in the 70s. They are super fun!! I actually think the colour combo is brilliant. If you added more touches of navy in the form of a navy bag or scarf predominantly navy (or a jacket) you would definitely get more of a navy/citron impression.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-era-challenge-70s-day-2#post-1469992 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:21:40 +0000 amiable 1469992@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry! &nbsp;I'd hit "submit" too soon! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-era-challenge-70s-day-2#post-1469991 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:19:52 +0000 Thistle 1469991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No picture </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-era-challenge-70s-day-2#post-1469989 Tue, 07 Apr 2015 15:19:06 +0000 amiable 1469989@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a little less authentic version of a 70s outfit, but I wanted to give it a try, because in my head it worked great. &nbsp;In real life, I think it's a bit less so.</p> <p>I&nbsp;started with&nbsp;my new railroad stripe trousers (they ended up not quite bootcut - more straight leg), and paired it with my new citron batwing mesh sweater. &nbsp;To keep the&nbsp;batwing shape from being&nbsp;the only seventies part of this outfit, I added shiny shoes. &nbsp;The tank under the sweater is navy to echo the navy stripes of the pants, and I added a belt for waist definition (though they're not high-waisted enough for it to really matter. &nbsp;</p> <p>In normal life, I'd wear this untucked or semi-tucked, but I decided to try out a tuck in the name of making it a bit more 70s like. &nbsp;My mother had a dress this color of citron, so I associate it with my childhood (like lots of 70s things - I was born in 76). &nbsp;But I suspect it's more of a 60s mod color, right?</p> <p>In my head, I thought that this citron would be terrific with navy (see pic 2), but these pants don't read navy and white, they read light blue. &nbsp;I think this makes the combo less successful, and will probably try it with darker jeans next time.</p> <p>What other improvements do you suggest? </p> <p>(Pardon the rumpled legs - I had to let out the hems, and haven't pressed out the creases yet. &nbsp;I'm a very RATE hippie)</p>
