This outfit (which I cannot wear today due to travel and POURING rain) is my nod to 70s Yves St. Laurent menswear. It's also an "ink out" look
GAP Long and Lean jeans (flares on me)
Reiss jacket in ink
Ann Taylor silk blouse in navy
Zara booties
Hipsi belt
Earrings from Israel -- they are my nod to boho
Fossil sunnies.
Interesting note: I removed the dangling earrings for Pic 2. All it took to make this feel less "costume" and more wearable today was the switch up of those earrings. The dangles plus the bow feel like too much for my personal style sensibility.
Another interesting tidbit: I find that -- whatever the decade -- I have a strong tendency to gravitate towards the menswear inspired looks of that decade. In searching pins, those are the ones I typically veer toward. OTOH, those looks are always "softened" with femininity -- they are menswear inspired vs. mannish. That is a great lesson in terms of where and how to refine my current style.
I am really enjoying this challenge for the opportunities it offers to learn things like that. Thank you, Angie!
The inspirations are YSL runway looks from the mid-70s.
