Doing the 70s Full On

Since I have been so in love with my Paige Lou Lou flares, I decided to go one step further and purchase a pair of bell bottoms.  Saw the AG Farrahs on Anthro but the price was too steep for something I was unsure about so I hit up Ebay and scored a pretty good deal.

While I do love the shape of these jeans, the higher waist will take some getting used to.  The low rise usually works for me because I carry my little flab pooch above the low rise waist.  These mid rise jeans hit me right at the flab so they were a tad tight in that area.  But I have been working out fairly intensely for almost a week so I'll keep them as I'm hoping the pooch will disappear in time (if I can keep the momentum going).  Also, these aren't as "bell-bottomy" as I thought they'd be.

Anyway, here's the best 70s I could do with what was in my closet.
jeans - AG Farrah via Ebay; top - H&M; tank - Gap; shoes - Enzo Angiolini; bag - Michael Kors

What do you think of bell bottoms?  Are you loving the whole Bohemian fashion thing going on this season?

    You look great in this look! Purple is a great color on you and you pull off this look so well! I like trouser jeans but as far as super wide bell-bottoms on me....it's a no go. I have shorter legs and the really wide bottoms just shorten my frame so I don't wear them. On you they are fab though!

    Nice! These jeans are great on you! I really love the purple top. I have been hesitant to try the full on 70's look (because I just recently embraced the skinny jeans:), but you pull it off really well. Hope you are having a great week!

    Flab? What flab? You look fabulous as always... and yes, I do love the whole bohemian fashion thing going on now that the weather finally is warming up!

    I definitely can't do high waisted anything though... bothers the crap out of me! Even when I was preggo, I had to wear the damn band below my belly. LOL

    Thanks girls. It was fun to get my Boogie Nights groove on. And wow, that higher waist was comfy.

    Thanks. The high waist did take some getting used to. NOt sure I will wear these a ton, but I will from time to time.
