A retro look will get you noticed anywhere, anytime. Especially if its a 70’s style wiggle dress with thick shoulder pads and big fabric buttons running down the back, done in a bright popping color like purple and paired with sunshine yellow accessories. How adorable, I say editorial! Hello FI readers, welcome back!
If I could, I’d wear a dress like this on a daily basis. Paired with heels this high and a fascinator this fancy. Retro style has made a strong comeback and we’ve been seeing the 70’s vibe on runways and streets all around us. From bell bottoms, prints, neon brights to fringe and crop tops, street style is heavily infused and influenced by this trend. I’ve been diving in. Whats not to love about sophisticated vintage style? I paired my vintage dress with modern accessories for a clean look that is not costume looking. Modern retro, hehe. I added flowers in the mix to further bring the freshness of Spring to my look. I honestly started feeling like a bride on her wedding day, hehe.
That fascinator! Is that the most beautiful thing you’ve ever seen? Just like a flower in full bloom! This amazing couture piece was handcrafted, custom made and gifted to me by ADAOBIGOGO a Las Vegas based young designer. It's very avant garde and I honestly fell in love with it the moment I saw it. The care and love that goes into each of her pieces is amazing and obvious. Her website is still under construction but you can find her on iG @adaobigogo or email her at dobinwakuche@yahoo.com for inquiries and orders.
So what’s on your Easter menu today? I’m not doing a lot of cooking but my signature 7 layer salad, is always a gorgeous addition to any menu and will be served for sure. I’m off to get started. Happy Easter World!

This look is so elegant, Idu, and I adore the hat. What a lovely Easter outfit. I really like the pairing of purple and yellow. Both bold colors and the one associated with royalty.

DeleteFor the first time I actually clicked the link in bio to visit someone's blog.Im the lazy type who would basically just enjoy what I see on IG.
ReplyDeleteBut your style is so intriguing.Very sophisticated and Unique.You pull it off quite well.Im very simple by nature and would easily shy away from too many colors.But I just met a blogger who's able to convince me that flamboyance doesn't necessarily mean you'll end up looking like a Christmas tree.Good job!Even though I may not be comfortable enough to pull off all these colors,I'd definitely love seeing them on you....love your style..xoxo
I am flattered by your kindness and glad you clicked on that link. Lol @ looking like a Christmas tree, so glad I don't. I've always loved colors and I think they love me back. They better, hehe. Thank you and come back soon.
