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?

Adding Color - Baby Steps (OOTD & EOTD)

Cleaning out my closet the other day led me to the realization that I own mostly black, brown, grey and other variations of those same colors.  So, in an effort to start wearing more color, I picked up a bunch of tanks and shells at Nordstrom Rack.  Hey, ya gotta start somewhere, right?

This is my first venture out wearing some vibrant color (even if just in trace amounts).  I think it went well if not a little boring.

Today's OOTD: Lucky Brand jeans (from last year's 30% F&F sale), Banana Republic merino cardigan (super, super old), Michael Kors ruched neck tank ($35 at Nordstrom Rack) and my old standby Geox boots.

Hoping my tripod attachment gets here ASAP as I'm very tired of my husband taking my pics.  Here's what happens when he thinks this angle will get him a shot down the shirt.  Sorry dear, perhaps if I had boobies.

I was also very excited about how my eye makeup came out today (although you can't really see it in the photos).  I went for a mostly gold lid, then adding some brown and dabbing a blue on the lower lash.  One day I will learn how to take great, crystal clear pics of my makeup - or maybe we don't want that.  :)  And I think my eyelashes are getting longer already at the outer portion.  It's been just over a week since starting Latisse!

Whoops, forgot lipstick.  Added Stila's lip stain in mango crush after pics and LOVED it!
