That 70’s Vibe – Tropical Bell Sleeve Top + Link Up!

August 31, 2017

The 70’s were such a fun burst of colors … mustard yellow, rusty orange, and avocado green.  It’s hard for me to wear yellow and rust close to my face, but I love them.  Probably something about growing up in the 70’s … watching TV in a bright gold chair, wearing my rust colored Ditto corduroys, and baking cookies with mom in our avocado green oven!

The Vibe

This outfit feels like a great summer to fall transition outft. Of course it’s basically a summer look, but the more traditionally fall color palette give them a nice pre-fall feel, right?

The Top

I picked up this cute little blouse from Shein. I couldn’t resist those cool bell sleeves and I loved the tropical print.

The Jeans

I’m wearing these flattering Wit & Widsom jeans, one of my Nordstrom Anniversarsy Sale finds.  A hidden tummy control panel keeps the stomach flat and the flared slit hem shows off cute shoes!

The Shoes

These adorable Steve Madden sandals are on sale at Macy’s right now. Scoop them up!

    This burst of color and 70’s vibe has me smiling! So get this, I got those jeans at the anniversary sale and neither my kids and my husband like them. So back they went. . But I made sure to get a photo shoot with them first before I sent them back, ha ha! I hope you have a beautiful weekend, beautiful lady!

    It’s almost scary to remember these colours! I’m looking forward to embracing these new colours for the Autumn. Oh and your sandals are so yummy, I’ll be looking for similar on my next shopping trip.

    When I think of the 70s your outfits come to mind because they are totally your style. Pretty blouse and I love your jeans. I own a couple of pairs of Wit+Wisdom jeans and I love them!

    Welcome by and join my newest Thursday Moda linkup this week, Dawn Lucy!

    Have a great Labor day weekend! Ada =))
