Sixties Vintage Summer

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog for a little time traveling today

I mix vintage accessories into my outfits pretty frequently,

but my vintage clothing pieces don't get worn often enough, especially post lockdown

So today, I am styling a few of the fun 1960's era things in my wardrobe 

that have come out of the closet for the first time, in a long time!  

First, an outfit built around a fabulous 1960's Pucci-esque print half slip

That's right, I'm wearing a vintage slip as a skirt

I think it's too pretty to hide!

Th slip is made from a thick opaque Tricot fabric,

and is much less flimsy than some of the current fashion skirts being sold today

Wearing it with a sky blue short sleeve tee, 

and wide white braided belt to hide the elastic waistband

The outfit as a whole doesn't really scream 1960's the way I styled it today,

but there are several vintage elements 

The little white leather pouch is also vintage, from the 60's, 

while my blue and white boldly striped silk neck scarf is current

A mix of old and new in the jewelry in this outfit, too

I chose a 1950's era white plastic expansion bracelet

that I wear a lot during the summer months, 

with a current pair of enamel sailboat earrings and silver tone flower pendant necklace

A mish-mash of decade mixing for sure!

White band strap sandals with woven straw wrapped heels to finish the look

My next outfit is an all out color-fest

 with another wild and wacky psychedelic 60's print-

I love them! 

This print is on a conservative square neck A-line shift dress-

what a contrast between cut and colors

I love the pattern and bright, unreal colors,

and the cute bow and inverted pleat on the skirt

Paired this dress with my bright pink bow bag

and followed the pink theme with my accessories

The dress seems to call out for colorful accessories, as well

Candy pink belt and a neck scarf with polka dots in shades of pink

For jewelry, I chose a bold gold tone asymmetrical bracelet and 

pink irregular shaped stone earrings

Pink slides to finish this lively look

Going just a few years back in time, to 2017,

with a 60's inspired look in a Victoria Beckman shift dress

It is from her Spring 2017 collaboration with Target 

Daisies: The flower of the 60's-

Be sure to wear some flowers in your hair

I am currently watching a concert filmed at Wembley Stadium in 1974 

of the group Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young

 A very young Joni Mitchell is as a guest performer

Coincidentally, today is David Crosby's birthday and he is 81 years old

As a folk music fan, I so enjoy blast from the past concerts-

they are remarkable and such a treat

I am glad they are archived and available for all to enjoy! 

Hope everyone has a good week!
