No one seems to be selling the true flare jeans, just those bell bottomy ones which dont even have a big enough bell! and there needs to be more colour! the 70s were so big for it! I do like that people are looking to the 70s instead of the tired old 50s, but id love to see it done properly. I think most brands are trying to go the Free People version of 70s - the "i just finished hanging out in desert with The Grateful Dead look"... dirty and raggy. ickk!

What a great gift! I totally agree with your comments about watered down 1970s fashion being presented to us in 2015. Your collage of some of the treasures for sale in Kinky are just what I would love to wear. Did not know that Yootha made it to a Smiths single cover.

What a nice gift for you.<br />Looking divine in your new skirt and extras! You're so good at doing your favorite era just right, with the real deal and on your practically perfect bod! The rest of us can only try. Even in the era in my real-time past, I'd have bored your boots off! But I love the current iterations for their homage ... nice for me to be able to enjoy the evolution and play one more time. Nice to think of it as a continuation of the period instead of merely a revival!<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12630135395645059302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4868048249049410936.post-83695237655265455742015-03-26T11:37:00.174+00:002015-03-26T11:37:00.174+00:00You're a very welcome sight - I'm in a cat...You're a very welcome sight - I'm in a catatonic state after moving and don't know what I'm doing anymore BUT I do know you look fabulous as always and yes, I regret not keeping my own stuff from the 70's.

My Gran took to wearing the granny dresses and loved the prints and colours, she said it reminded her of the Victorian stuff her Gran wore and had in her house. Just think Biba - very original and lively.
