Still Trendy After All These Years

 In perusing the Internet I have come across some fun sites…some of which I can reference for this blog! Ha! With summertime in full swing I looked through some sites for ‘fashion of the sixties.’ While finding some wonderful trends from our youth, I discovered that we were quite the ‘fashionistas’ then. Things that are tried & true will always stand the test of time. In observing the sixties I immediately realized that some of the very same styles are quite ‘en vogue’ now.

Take for instance the following: bell-bottoms & boot-cut jeans, tie-dye tees, empire tops & dresses, headbands, cuff bracelets, gladiator sandals, tunic tops, clogs, peasant blouses, Capri pants, crochet sweater coats, shag haircuts, Dr. Scholl’s sandals, necklaces with peace signs. It appears we have come full circle: fashionable then, a brief hiatus, and fashionable once again.

As I look through my closet, these styles are all there now…. not in the same size of course, but there just the same. The spirit lives on. Groovy! J  

Please review the following site, the source of inspiration & the artwork. Enjoy!
