As we usher in the beautiful weather and delightfully warm, rainy nights we also usher in new fashion trends. Looks like the fashion cycle has brought back the 1970's. I have to admit I'm going to go against the fashion Gods with this trend. I just can't understand the need to bring back the 1970's. Can't we just let it rest in peace with Janis Joplin, Jimi Hendrix, and Jim Morrison.
Yes, I'll admit it, the '70's were a liberating time for us fabulous females but honestly, it's 2011 we're liberated, we can wear what we please so why oh why must we bring back these trends? However, as always I feel the need to share the ugly side of fashion with you. So here we go with the 1970's trends to try. Hopefully after a few unsuccessful trips to the dressing room to try on these trends you'll see my point.
TREND 1: HOT PANTS
Okay, let's face it, the younger you are the shorter your shorts can be. However, in the '70's every woman and some men, from the looks of it, did the hot pants trend. Not sure
of what I mean by hot pants? Well my friends, I'm talking about those legitimately short shorts, the ones your mother would be appalled if you left the house in them? Except, in the '70's they were high waisted and SHORT. Apparently, the higher fashion powers want to see more leg this season.
TREND 2: FLARE PANTS
Strangely enough, the next trend definitely lacks sex appeal. I'm talking about those pants that have a HUGE flare to them. The pants will definitely be the star of the show so if you're going to try this particular trend pair it with a simple top, a fitted tshirt or tank top, tucked in with a skinny belt to modernize the trend.
TREND 3: MAXI DRESSES
Okay, I'll give the '70's this, J'adore sheer maxi dresses. There's a certain air of romance that accompanies this particular trend. The soft sway of the skirt around your ankles, the light material, the vibrant colors. Everything about it makes me want to lay on the grass and watch the clouds float by on a sunday afternoon. The other fabulous trait of this particular trend is, just about anyone no matter your shape or size can wear this trend without fear. Its definitely one of the more flattering trends that are being resurrected this season.
ACCESSORIES:
Not only am I a slave to fashion but I am an accessory hound, to say the least. I'm completely obsessed with accessorizing. There's something about those long beaded earrings, with that flower embossed belt, and wide brim straw hat that really pulls any of the '70's revival looks together.
All in all I'm not loving the '70's revival as much as my fellow fashion superstars but I will give the this, some of these trends can be adorable if done properly.
READ CAREFULLY: I am NOT encouraging you to borrow your mother's tiger print jumpsuit and platform clogs. Don't do it. You know who you are, as do I. I will hunt you down and burn your jumpsuit. Sorry, dahhhhliinghk. Ta Ta for now.
