60’s Mod Flower Power & Fun Fashion Friday Link Up!
July 23, 2015
Hi Dolls! Did you notice my new blog look? I decided to go for something more simple and chic! What do you think? Still making a few tweaks here and there.
Now on to the fashion talk of the day …
I love that mod 60’s look, do you? But a lot of it isn’t too flattering to my body shape. I mean, hello, my thighs haven’t been mini skirt friendly for a decade and sheath dresses are hard for pear shapes to pull off. So whenever I see a cool vintage 60’s looking top that will work on me, I go crazy for it.
A bold yellow, orange and green flower? Polyester sleeveless with a zipper in back? 60s perfection! I have it hanging right next to this in my closet!
I wore it to coffee with this fabulous friend …
Kim and I have been friends for longer than either of us care to admit to being alive. Check out her cool lifestyle, fashion & travel blog, Northern California Style.
Absolutely ADORE this sleek and sophisticated BLOG look! And can we talk about YOUR look this fine fashion day!! Absolutely stunning and screams Summer!!! Love!
I really like your new clean, minimalist blog design. I actually started thinking about having my blog redone. Did you do this yourself or did you use a design service? Anyway, your top looks gorgeous! Thanks for hosting!
You are such a great shopper. You know exactly what will look good on you. That shirt is just so fabulous and love the flower on it. Great picture of you and Kim too.
Love your new blog design!! That's such a great top & love how you've styled it! Have a great weekend Dawn Lucy:) Marta http://www.sweatersstripesandsweets.com

Dawn the blog looks terrific! I love your clean design! Thank so much for the shout out. You are very sweet. I think we have been friends now almost 27 years!! It was fun to catch up and I hope we do it again soon. xo Kim
Wow, this blog changed a lot. I like this design. Good job! And back to your outfit. I am happy that 60s are back. Very nice and comfy outfit. And I adore your bag.o) Anna http://www.newskinyme.com
Love the graphic top and love the new blog look Dawn Lucy 🙂 It's a nice clean look that makes the pictures the center pieces of attraction. I've been looking at templates a lot myself lately, but haven't decided yet upon one, there's always something that isn't quite how I want it.
I love your new blog design — so chic and light. Well done! I also love your vintage top. I started tailoring a favourite vintage dress of mine just last night, to make it fit me better. I can't wait to wear it again — I only have to rehem it today, and it's good to go. Look for it on the blog next week! As always, thanks for hosting the link up.
Oooo can't wait to see your new vintage dress! I have some catching up to do on your fab blog. Will get to that this weekend for sure. Thanks for always being so supportive! 🙂
Wow! The blog looks lovely. I remember the glow in my eyes when the link opened. And your outfit is equally lovely. Enjoy the weekend. Merci http://www.chic-on-thrift.blogspot.com
Love the new blog format, a lot of times simple is the best way to go. I also love your look, everything looks great from your adorable tshirt to the sandals which I love and the great bag, fab look Dawn! Nora http://www.jacketsociety.com
Great new format. I'm a newby, so wasn't attached to the old format, but I love not having to scroll down to see the post. Also, just love your rather playful attitude towards fashion. Keep up the good work — hope it's as enjoyable to make as it is to read 🙂 !
Hey Ada … email me (fashionshouldBfun@gmail.com) and I'll give you all the designer details! She was super sweet and so nice about all my dumb questions. OXOX
As you know, dearest Dawn, I adore adding a touch of sixties-inspired fabulousness to my own outfits every once in a while…and you've made another terrific find with this pretty "flower power" top!! So chic paired with your flattering, dark wash skinnies and those studded gladiator sandals!! P.S. The sleek new blog look gets an A+ from me…you're obviously putting your summer holidays to very good use!! ;D
Very sleek design with the blog. Love it. And yay, for gladiator style sandals! I'm did a post this week wearing hot pink ones. Gee, we're so in sync Dawn! The whole look is great – that tricky balance of fun, casual yet stylish. I especially like the roll up hem on the jeans just so we can see those great sandals a little more and is another little eye-catching details.

First of all I love the new elegant, clean, modern look of the blog. Do you recommend the designer? I am shopping for a blog design myself.
Secondly, I love that fun rose tank. It is beautiful. And Alex's Maxi Dress from last week was lovely, I agree.
