70s: denim & knit

70s Cardigan: c/o The Paraders Vintage
Vintage Skirt: Saver's
Blouse, Shoes & Coach Purse: Goodwill

We haven't had a proper winter here in the south this year. Some days have been cold and drizzly, but for the most part it's been a very mild chill. Most days have felt like early spring, warm and sunny and just right for an afternoon outdoors, and I've even been able to get away without wearing tights some days. I've enjoyed it for the most part, but it does have me scared to see what the summer will bring.

These photos are from one of those extra warm days. The Paraders sent over this cardigan a while back and I finally put it to good use with this denim skirt. I'm such a fan of 70s knit cardigans! They're so easy to wear and so cute. I had fun styling this one.

Inspired By Mama

Today's inspiration came from my Mama's style in the 70's. I pulled this photo out for my mother's day post, and one of my buddies and blog readers, Amanda, from Dishevelled Stars recommended I do my own version of it.

"I can't get over how much you and your mom look alike! And those combat boots with a white dress are rockin - you should totally do a mirrored outfit and post the pictures side by side ."

So, I took her advice, and here are the results.

I got a little cut on my knuckle just before taking these photos, and I didn't want any blood to get on my white dress, so pardon the band-aid.



I think Mom told me she used to have a phone like this when she was a teenager, so I thought it would be cute to include it in the photos.



I'm finding out that Monkey really likes indoor shoots. I think she enjoys being in front of the warm light, so she kind of took over at one point.

Since I'm a horrible daughter and forgot to do a Father's Day post (and here I am doing another post for Mom), I'm going to do an outfit in honor of Dad's style in the 70's too. I've already got the whole thing styled and ready, just gotta find the time to shoot it.
