I am definitely going to jump on the 70's bandwagon! That style-decade really has elements I want to explore.

I'm still beginning my education here but have already read a lot of Angie's blog and studied the WIWs. Basically I need to understand how to put together a more cohesive, polished look and the starting point will be well-fitted pants and gorgeous shoes for both spring and summer heat. Could make room in the closet for one or two 70's type blouses.

I still have not really identified my style - even though the process of SYC is helping me to get a better idea of my style, my likes and dislikes! So, as far as spring goes - I'm not sure. I'm thinking about skipping spring and just "evolving" right into summer - when I will probably try to invest in a dress or two and a couple of pairs of sandals - wedges or platforms. But, I'm just not sure yet!

Hmmmmmmm, as I dream of cooler weather, I think I will be definately attempting the wide-legged/flare look for a bit of 70's fun. I'm also *really* looking forward to finding and buying some blouses perfect for tucking. I am a tucker from way back and have really struggled with the non-tucking look! I'm also thinking a couple of tunic type dresses, opaque (possibly patterned) stockings with booties. What do you think? Any advice Northern Hemisphere'rs? Does this sound reasonable/practical for a MOTG?

Since spring is many months away, really I am concentrating on filling in gaps in my wardrobe. Now that I have made the switch to pants, I need shorter cardigans, more tops, and different shoes. The 70s stuff is pretty easy for me, since I have an abundance of pendant and long necklaces, and I've never had an aversion to tucking even when it wasn't on trend. I've restocked on button downs, which is making me wonder if I am not going too far back down into my more-dowdy fashion history, but I'm trying to keep the look fresh instead of preppy.

Which reminds me, I want to wear my blue gingham cardigan today. Off to find the right outfit for it!

I'm on the hunt for casual day dresses and pieces to layer with them to add variety. As Maya mentioned, dresses can get a bit boring because it's harder to mix and match, but I'm determined to find a way to make it work this spring and summer. I find skirts and tops a challenge, but I'd like to find a few skirt outfits too.

I'm almost done with my spring/summer wardrobe, and I plan to wear a LOT more dresses this year - mostly vintage shirtwaists and wrap dresses. I also bought a pair of high-waisted black cropped pants (don't worry Angie, not ankle-length!) and am shopping my closet and some sites to figure out what to pair with them.
