Style Icon: An Hermes Handbag and Four Inch Tips Made of Ostrich

I, for one, am so excited for the Seventies-style fashion that will be trending this spring. I love all things retro, colorful and bell. Revisiting that decade's style means I will be looking to one of my style icons, Jane Birken, for inspiration. And I hope to rely on many trips to the thrift store for authentic pieces.

I am thinking a pair of bell's, like these, are necessary.

Perhaps a fringe bang cut as well??

    Yes!! I am right there with you!! I bought a pair of high-waist pintucked trousers at Gap the other day and have already worn them 3x. Jane Birkin is a total icon. She is totally one to look back at!! And Janet Wood and Chrissy Snow from Three's Company...and MRS. ROPER!!

    Love it!!! Bangs are always a great way to change it up & plus if you don't like them they will always grow out :)

    I'm contemplating getting bangs when I go in next month! I'm so geeked out over 70's style coming back. I have the Madewell Vintage Rocker jeans on my list of things to check out for the spring/trend
