70's Style - High Waisted Pants, Jeans, and more

These great 70's style fashions from the Emilio Pucci Resort 2011 line are fabulous inspiration!  And these high waisted flared pants are my favorite 70's look. They are so Charlie's Angels!






And let's not forget the great maxi dresses of that era like this fabulous hippie number.  Love the design!  (But you might want to add a cami.)

50's Fashion Inspiration - Capri Pants

Among my favorite 50's fashion looks for summer are capri pants, also known as cropped pants.  Here are some inspiration photos. 





To make them work for your body type, consider these tips.  Avoid capri's that hit at the largest part of the calf, especially if you are petite.  They should end at the smaller part of the leg. The most flattering capri's on everyone are those with a straight, slim (but not tight) leg.  If you have ample hips and a smaller bust, wear them with a loose top and choose ones in a solid, darker color.  Ballet flats or sandals are the perfect compliment, depending on the look you want.  The more dramatic personality may wear them with heels.

50's Swimsuits - The Iconic One Piece

Who says you can't look fabulous in a one piece swimsuit?  Esther Williams was an American competitive swimmer and movie star of the 1940's and 50's.  She really rocked a one piece swimsuit!  Check out these photos of Esther and also some modern retro swimsuits you can rock.









  
Below are some modern versions of 50's swimsuits.  These styles look particularly stunning on curvy figures and many come in plus sizes.

"Prairie Girl" Photo Shoot (Part 4 of 4)

Here's the final post for the "Prairie Girl" photo shoot I recently styled.  This great 2-piece peasant dress from the 70's was perfect for the shoot.  The floral insets with lace and ribbon trim make it country worthy. The dress (also great for a hippie, boho look) is for sale at my online vintage shop at: http://www.esty.com/shop/hipfashionstylist
