I threw on some things, running a little late to yoga. I felt absurdly happy in my thrown-on outfit, and realized I had on several 70s-ish touches: The calico print on my dress was incredibly similar to one I wore in the 70s. I wore Birkenstocks in the 70s. I wore a little gold heart pendant in the 70s. For good measure, I did yoga with my mom in the seventies.

I don't aspire to 70s style and the decade was not entirely a happy one for me. But Angie has alerted me to the happiness that nostalgic elements can evoke.

Have you ever found yourself sporting nostalgic touches you didn't intend to put on? How do you feel about dressing nostalgically? Do you ever do it on purpose?
