Sleek Seventies

There’s no doubt I have a sweet spot for the sleek seventies revival style. I love it for several reasons: One) it’s eye-catching, two) the graceful silhouettes of the clothes give such a sense of easy elegance to your style that feels very feminine, and three) I especially appreciate how the modern bell bottom jeans give my petite frame the illusion of having longer legs. This beautifully sunny and breezy California afternoon inspired me to channel my seventies’ fashion mood for a casual lunch date with clients at the Polo lounge. Both the stretch and the dark indigo color on these high-rise bell bottom jeans made them super slimming and comfortable to move in. I teamed them with a classic lavender button-down shirt, simple chunky link collar necklace and snakeskin wedges.

When I packed the jeans, I completely forgot to pack the wedges that are much higher than the snakeskin worn with this outfit, thus the reason why they’re sweeping the floors here (sigh…shorty’s problems). Although I got these jeans in petite, they were still too long. I’ve since had my tailor hemmed them up a bit so I can wear them with the same wedges on days that I don’t want to wear higher ones, this way the jeans can just graze the floor, instead of sweeping them.
