I hear you loud and clear, this is the perfect way to add a little boho fringe back into our lives without feeling or looking as if we went back to our teenage years.

The classically styled blouses and the slim jeans really suit you and why the hell can't shoes or bags be the third piece? I say they can. I also say it's time to toss that rule saying we can't wear a trend we have already worn in younger days. When I revisit the boho/late sixties and seventies inspired things I am wearing what I wore in childhood and what as a child I admired on stylish adults. I get quite a kick out of that. Love your modern mix! You look chic with personality. xoxoShawna McCombernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-27778446481723340172015-05-25T20:35:35.924-05:002015-05-25T20:35:35.924-05:00Hello Jan so glad to see you and that great bag . ...Hello Jan so glad to see you and that great bag .

It adds a nice bit of "KAPOW" to the outfit. I agree with you that having lived through several decades of fashion allows you to pick and choose favourites from particular eras that you love and pair them with more modern pieces. We don't need to do head to toe 70's just because it's "In" because we've already been there and done that.Shelley@ForestCityFashionistanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6864029619879531761.post-11405193948899965832015-05-20T17:24:38.093-05:002015-05-20T17:24:38.093-05:00Very cool bag!

Or am I over asking?) The bag looks very rich and expensive. Not not your "put a few frinches on and be done with it" kinda bag. So does your watch. I remember your fascination for watches.<br />I wore a suede bag as well in the seventies. With a sort of a iron bolt as pendant hanging at the bottom of the flap. Ah young and innocent...
