WIW: Era Challenge, more 70s

Another mediocre attempt at 70s dressing here today.  I tried (and failed) a white-out (pic 2), and changed out of it when my kids asked to make jello this morning.  Instead I'm bringing back my new favorite jeans from Monday, with a brown sweater again - this time a long cardigan that reminds me of the 70s both in shape and color.

My infatuation with 70s may be short-lived.  This is very comfortable, but it feels frumpy to me....

If it warm enough, I'd be bringing out culottes and other shapes....  Perhaps I'll play dress-up this afternoon if I get a chance.

By the way, I've parted my hair in the center all week in honor of the 70s, and am actually kinda liking it.  I may have to play with parts to see what works best for me and my hair :)

    Well done! And I like the center part just to change things up and create different vibes. Again, the brown with the jeans feels so authentic 70s.

    amiable, I actually quite like your white-out outfit (not for jello making though :)) - why did you proclaim it a failure?

  • amiable replied 9 years ago

    I don't like the cardigan sweater, Daria - it looks and feels frumpy to me.  I may try something similar to a white-out with a jacket instead....  (And that sweater is now in the purge bag :)  )

    I think it will look lovely with a denim jacket or blazer!

    Just for the record I really like your white-out outfit too! The sweater picks up the color of the shoes too.

    The pattern of the sweater in #1 looks quite 70's authentic! I rather like the white-out in #2 as well.

  • amiable replied 9 years ago

    Yes - I actually matched the sweater and shoes intentionally.  But the shoes are uncomfortable and have joined the sweater in the purge bag, haha!
    Thanks for the encouragement though - I feel out of outfit mojo at the moment, hoping it returns quickly :)

    Very authentic! #2 must come out asap. :-)

    I plain ol' love the white with long oatmeal sweater :D

  • Jaime replied 9 years ago

    The first one looks very 70s to me and the second a terrific outfit whatever the era. Bring on the culottes!

    Great 70s looks, Amiable. The centre parting gives that extra touch of authenticity.
