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?

  1. 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!

  2. 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!

  3. 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
