The Ethereal 70's

The few set of Fall and Spring seasons, designers have given us a taste of the “love-child” look from flowing skirts, peasant bloused lace, and even the notorious across-the-head headbands (which I am sporting as I write this). As 2011 drew closer and Spring trends were shown, a more 70’s vibe was introduced. And like myself, many of you have probably caught on to the fact that these two trends go hand-in-hand with one another. 

Marc Jacobs did phenomenal work for his Spring 2011 collection. It was full of high-waisted bell bottoms and flower power hues.

You would think a petite person like me (5’2” if you want to get technical) wouldn’t be fond of this trend- being enveloped in excess, flowing fabric. But with a little tweaking, one can go from a bag lady look-a-like to a Free People model. Keep in mind proportions. If anything is dragging, take it off. Play with accessories like floppy hats, feathered earrings, or a bright-colored satchel.
