Okay so it was definitely a case of love at first sight with this snap. Zoe Saldana in bellbottom distressed jeans. loosely tucked nude sleeveless shirt (is this ticking all my boxes or what?), tan cork platforms and vintage sunnies. This is the epitome of seventies summertime cool - I know everyone loves their skinnies but this look is so fresh and fun. Me likies very much:
So there you have it. Those AHmazing jeans are from rising cult US denim label Black Orchid. Initially these were spotted on Singer22.com - for $125. Not bad, but unfortunately they only had a size 28 available. Damn. Keep hunting. Further digging uncovered the fantastic news that my size - 26 – was still available on Amazon.com – and for a measly $75! SNAP – these babies are a definite ‘add to cart’. Next up I found the vintage sunnies were indeed Rayban’s stylish Clubmaster – super cool but just unsure if I could pull them off. I'm already rocking the Wayfarer in both tort and black so this should see me through. NO, I didn’t fashion find the ‘nude sleeveless shirt’ she is also wearing... after re-reading my previous posts I think I have this base totally covered!
I actually do own a pair of killer bellbottoms - they are a Bettina Liano pair in a mid blue denim (I dont actually like the denim; its that funny all-over mid blue that they made cheap workmans jeans from in the seventies - makes your thighs feel huge). I have only worn them once... did receive a few funny looks but overall the response was positive. I teamed them with a *surprise suprise* nude sleeveless shirt, and tan wedges. I felt like I should flick out my hair and cruise around on a skateboard; but amazingly enough, boyfriend actually loved this look. 'Very flattering and cool' were his exact words. That in itself cemets these as a must buy.
Off to check paypal balance... wonder how flares will go down at the Plaza?
