Decades

Apparently you can wear your bikini out to "da club" as long as
you add extra criss-cross straps and a matching belt.

This. 

This, people, is what our generation has to show for itself.

It's hard to look at, we know.

Paris, whatever you're trying to do here... don't.

Anyways, what we're really getting at here is, where did style go wrong this decade?

All the trends we see these days are simply recycled from bygone eras.

We're not saying people don't dress well anymore. But fashion has seen better times.

And we just have a slight obsession with the 1960's and 70's.

Where everyone was beautiful.

And blissful.

And on a crapload of narcotics.

1960's

top: thrifted, skirt: anthro, scarf: maddux couture,
belt: f21, shoes: miz mooz

Like this Mad Men inspired look, the 60's brought us

structured pencil skirts, bright colors, and bold prints.

And these lovely style icons.

Audrey Hepburn

Twiggy

Jackie O.

Bob Dylan

1970's

top: uo, jeans: vigoss, shoes: ae, belt: ross, necklace: uo

The 70's was effortlessly cool.
Peasant tops, flare jeans, platform shoes.
Not to mention:

Led Zeppelin

Farrah Fawcett

Stevie Nicks

Ziggy Stardust/David Bowie

So much inspiration. So little time. Enjoy.
