Summer of Love & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up Party

June 11, 2015
Flared jeans … tie-dye … platforms … can you tell how much I’m loving this 70’s trend?  

Of course with any retro vibe pieces, you need to make the outfit your own.  You don’t want to look like you’ve dressed “70s” for a Halloween party, right?  

I think adding a modern bag and trendy messy up do works here.  And check out this cool deconstructed back detail …

And Dolls, have you noticed how long your legs look in flares?!
Hello?!


Outfit details & Shopping Ideas

Top – thrifted and no label … another fun mystery find at a local thrift store!
As a teacher on summer break, I’m loving having the time to comb through racks of thrift store junk to find a hidden jewel here and there!
No time for that, busy ladies?  Here’s a few fab online finds too …
Flared jeans – KUT (Details Willow Glen)
Platform wedges – Michael Shannon (DSW)
Bag – Kenneth Cole Reaction (Marshalls)
Sunnies – Ralph Lauren 
Earrings – gift

And my wrap beautiful bracelet is from Rocksbox!  Look for my Rocksbox review coming soon!

Some “fashionspiration” from last week’s link up …



Leelo of Beauty by Miss L is rocking this sophisticated jogger pant look.

Loving adorable Jen of Librarian of Life and Style is looking summertime chic in this pretty dress, denim jacket, and cute straw bag.

And the fabulous Tina of Tickled Pink Woman looks stunning in this modern black and white look with pops of red and blue.

Now on a personal note … my kitty Pumpkin has been very sick with serious kidney and intestinal issues.  I would appreciate any prayers and/or good thoughts you could send his way.  He’s the sweetest little guy.


Thanks for your support & please enjoy the link up!

OXOX
Dawn Lucy

      Hi Alice …Just for you and my buddy Sherry, I dropped by the nail place to find out the name of the color …it's OPI Number One Nemesis! I'm glad I found out because I'm going to pick this color again for sure.

    So sorry about your kitty problems! Ugh! That is the worst! 🙁 I will say a prayer for her. I love your top and I have been seeing so many flare jeans, but I just don't think I can do them. They look great on you, tho!

    Poor Pumpkin. I will remember your kitty in my good thoughts and wishes for the day. My chihuahua has kennel cough again, and even though it's not serious, it makes me so sad to hear her coughing. On a nicer note, I love the nail polish? Is it hard to remove? And….. I love your blog.

    • Reply dawnlucy June 12, 2015 at 9:39 pm

      Thanks so much Rosie. It hurts when our babies hurt. It's OPI Number One Nemesis and is just regular polish (not gel). OXOX

    These flares are FANTASTIC, dearest Dawn!! Adoring the extra wide hem; and yes…their major leg-lengthening ability is pretty amazing, isn't it?! Oh, to be on summer vacay with you right now, so we could hit those vintage shops together…the back detail and tie-dye finish of your thrifted top is making me drool!! 😉 P.S. Sending lots and lots of love and kisses to sweet Pumpkin – and to you, too – a sick "fur baby" is such a stressful thing!! XOXO
