THIS IS A REALLY STYLISH FILM FROM THE 70’S. THE CLOTHES FIT BARBARA PARKINS WHO IS 5FT 4, SO IN THOSE DAYS ALL THE CLOTHES WOULD OF FITTED ME. REALLY LOVE THE CLASSIC STYLE AND WOULD OF BOUGHT ALL THE COATS AND OUTFITS.
THIS YEAR I WOULD HAVE TO EITHER ALTER A COAT, WEAR AN OLD COAT FROM MY OWN WARDROBE OR GET ONE MADE COUTURE, (ONLY AN OPTION IF YOU HAVE CASH TO SPLASH AND IF THEY ARE DOING A STYLE YOU LIKE).
A SELECTION OF 1970 STYLE COATS FROM PUPPET ON A CHAIN
AS YOU MAY OF NOTICED, OLDER PEOPLE ACTUALLY NEED CLOTHES THAT FIT PROPERLY ALSO; IN FACT EVERBODY NEEDS CLOTHES. HOPEFULLY POST COVID FASHION SIZES WILL GET CORRECTED SOON? THIS ERA IN FASHION HISTORY WORKED PARTICULARLY WELL AS EVERYONE OF EVERY AGE COULD LOOK SMART AND STYLISH.
THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT OF AMSTERDAM
SINCE KNEE HIGH BOOTS WERE INVENTED, POSSIBLY THE 1970’S, EVERY WOMAN COULD PURCHASE SLIM FIT KNEE HIGH BOOTS FROM BASICALLY ANY SHOE SHOP. HERE THEY ARE MODELLED ON A PROSTITUTE.
GRANTED MOST WOMEN WOULDN’T BASE THEIR LOOK ON A PROSTITUTE, BUT TO BE HONEST FASHION EXTENDS ITSELF FROM STREET TO WEALTHY LADY AND SO FORTH, ALWAYS HAVE AND ALWAYS WILL.
IF YOU TEAMED THESE BOOTS WITH A LONG SKIRT, SLIM FIT TRENCH COAT FOR AVERAGE HEIGHT, BOOT CUT TROUSERS, SLIM FIT WOOLEN COAT AND SO FORTH, THEY WOULD CREATE A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT VIBE.
YOU COULD ARGUE ONLY SLIM WOMEN COULD WEAR THESE BOOTS, BUT I STRONGLY DISAGREE. SINCE THESE BOOTS STOPPED BEING AVAILABLE ANYWHERE I HAVE BEEN STUDYING BODY TYPES. IN FACT MOST WOMEN HAVE SLIM LEGS BELOW THE KNEE; THEREFORE THIS CLASSIC STYLE ACTUALLY SUITS JUST ABOUT ALL WOMEN. IT IS A CLASSIC WINTER STAPLE THAT IS NO LONGER AVAILABLE TO PURCHASE? YOU CAN PURCHASE AN OVERSIZED VERSION OF THIS BOOT BUT IT IS USELESS FOR BRITISH WINTER FOR THE MASSES. WHY THIS HAS HAPPENED I HAVE NO IDEA?
WOULD BE GREAT TO EDIT THIS BLOG IF PROPER FITTING CLOTHES EVER COME BACK.
ON A BRIGHTER NOTE I HAVE SOURCED A SHOE SIMILAR TO THE PROSTITUTE IN DISGUISE AS A NUN.
IF THESE SHOES WERE TEAMED WITH AN OUTFIT FROM HARVEY NICHOLS, (2000 UNTIL IT WENT TACKY), AND EITHER BLACK OR TAN TIGHTS, (PRE COVID), THEY WOULD LOOK REALLY SMART AND STYLISH.
WHEN FASHION RETURNS WILL BE FUN TO PUT A LOOK TOGETHER FROM THESE SHOES, (LIKE THE ONES IN THE FILM).
IN THE DAYTIME I HAVE TO CONFESS, I LIKE REALLY COMFORTABLE SHOES WITH A ROUND TOE. AS I HAVE ARCHED FEET I ALWAYS OPT FOR A BIT OF A HEEL.
THEY HAVE A BIT OF A 20’S FEEL THOUGH, SO THEY ARE VEERING MORE TOWARDS A 20’S LOOK OR 60’S RETRO OF THE 20S/30S.
WITH EVERYTHING SO MUDDLED AT THE MOMENT, YOU JUST HAVE TO TRY YOUR BEST I SUPPOSE.
WILL BE FUN PLAYING ROUND WITH OUTFITS FROM THIS FILM FASHION IDEA. HOPE IT INSPIRES SOME IDEAS FOR YOU.
WILL EDIT THIS BLOG IF THINGS PROGRESS IN THE FASHION WORLD AND PRODUCT DELIVERY WORLD.
