Into a Seventies groove

Sometimes particular outfits I’m wearing appear as if I’ve tried to recreate a particular look (e.g. country squire, 1940s, lady who lunches, or schoolgirl) but usually it’s completely unintentional; however, for this outfit I really fancied a modern version of a 1970s look. I was admiring my Nine West heels on display at home (too nice to put away), then happened to put my flared jeans into my wardrobe after washing… et voilà, one Seventies outfit was dreamt up and one Charlie’s Angel wannabe was born. (So as not to look too retro, I kept the hair a little less 70s and a little more now* with a Croydon facelift, complete with hooped earrings. Such a great expression πŸ˜‰

Kelly Garrett, eat your heart out.

    I love the fur collar! This outfit makes me want to pull out my denim jacket from the back of my closet and add it into a regular rotation. πŸ˜‰

    I cut labels out too! I hate itchy labels.

      Thanks Debbi, you're a sweetheart (there's nothing more satisfying than cutting out an itchy label =bliss=) Catherine x

    Soooo 70's cool, Catherine. I adore the faux fur and the platforms. You are gorgeous with a big G! (I don't know what to call this decade either)
