So amazing. And then I thought about how relevant that style is today, and pondered why that might be...
Of course the easy answer is Mad Men, which made me worry that I had simply fallen victim to popular opinion, nothing more...
Luckily, as quickly as that self-doubt came, it went.
I decided that it wasn't a 'trend' I was clinging to, rather, it was a standard. I think we fashion lovers, we thoracic-hearted folk, have come to a conclusion that some styles cannot be outdone (for a 'thoracic' definition, see: 5 Personality Types.)
I love the simple sex appeal and comfort of the 60's... and there's nothing wrong with it being 'trendy' now. It's abstract, striking, and undeniably a genius reinvention of Chanel's easy style.... with more vibrant colors and contrast.
Sign me up.
Give me a black turtleneck and some cropped pants, a cig and some shades, and I'll give snaps to whatever poetry you've got. :)
Clearly, I really dig the understatement, contrast, and androgyny side of the 60's.
