High Waist Jeans - 70's Flare and Straight Leg Ankle Length

I'm glad to see the 70's high waist flare jean still around this Spring.  It is one of my favorite looks.  The same silhouette is also great for dress pants.  But, the hottest of all this season is the high waist, straight leg, ankle length jean.  (I'm talking straight, like cigarette pants, not skinny jeans.)  Besides denim, they also come in an abundance of bright and pastel colors.

Note the inward pleats... I personally like the flat front ones better.

Late 1950's and Early 1960's Fashion Inspiration Photos

Lately, I've been watching a lot of old TV shows.  One of my favorites is The Dick Van Dyke Show.  It first aired in 1961.  I love Mary Tyler Moore's clothes!  So chic!!  It has renewed my interest in late 1950's and early 1960's fashion...great feminine shirtwaist, sheath and two-piece dresses, fitted sweaters with full skirts, and chunky sweaters with cigarette-style pants and flats.   







Great Jacket!
