What's Your Favorite Fashion Decade

When asked the question what decade would you liked to have lived in or experienced I always think back to the 70s. I loved the big whispy hair, platforms, the flared jeans and the vibrant colors and graphic prints and everything that embodies the style of the 70s.  Even when I was househunting this past year, I quickly narrowed down my search to homes from the 60s and 70s, preferably with original wallpaper (unfortunately I didnt score on the wallpaper front but I did get my 1970 house). Although I havent quite figured out how to best incorporate the era into my home, for the past five years I've been pretty into super flared jeans and floral/graphic prints but they've been hard to find in a lot of the large retail chains since skinny jeans have taken over the world so when I've found them, I've scooped them up for some pretty amazing deals. Luckily the reatilers have finally caught up to meet my needs and the past few seasons have been filled with 70s trends on the runway which has transpired into retailers offering a large variety of the retro inspired stylings.

For this look I've managed to grab the exact shirt and simply paired it with some dark washed flare jeans and one of my new favorite bags to let the clean lines and fancy detailing of the shirt shine on its own. 

So to replicate this look #1 consider looking for a shirt with collar details such as this with a large collar with pleats or a tie neck or a contrast color (try Bergdorf's Haute Hippe Option or ASOS' Piped Collar Blouse) and #2 pair with a simple 70s inspired bottom like an exaggerated flare jean in a crisp white or dark denim (try Gap's Flared Trouser Jean or High Horses' High Rise Flares).  Top off with simple accessories like a pair of studs and a few bangles and finally complete the look with a chunky heel to keep the leg line long and lean no matter what your size. 

What's your favorite decade and what way do you incorporate that era into your personal style for your wardrobe and home?
