STYLE // Classic Cool-Girl Style with 70s Flair (August 2009)
This outfit post features a timeless, effortlessly cool look inspired by classic 1970s silhouettes and laid-back Los Angeles street style. The outfit pairs a simple gray tank top with army green wide-leg pants and platform shoes, creating an easy balance of casual minimalism and vintage-inspired glamour. Styled with oversized blonde curls and sunglasses, the overall aesthetic feels feminine, confident, and understated in a way that still feels modern years later. The look captures an early personal-style-blog era of relaxed, wearable fashion with a polished editorial edge.Originally published: August 27, 2009 // Last updated: May 28, 2026
What I’m Wearing
* American Apparel loose gray tank top
* GAP green wide leg pants {I took the hem out to make them longer …and like them rugged at the bottom. have had these for years}
* Pour La Victoire Women’s Fanny Open-toe Platform
…NEW …LOVEummm, these little oxfords I just spotted are ADORABLE!
I really love amazon for shoes! Amazing prices combined with free AND SUPER QUICK shipping …you can’t go wrong!* Leaf necklaces …gift from BFF Thanks Kell!
{I knotted the chain today to make it shorter – but the big gold leaf keeps flopping in front of the little silver one.grr.why can’t everything be perfect all the time?}
* Tom Ford “Yvette” sunglasses
* Zac Posen handbag …gilt.com
Hair …see my hair-to here {and really, I just cringe watching vlogs of myself -so bad} …I’m definitely happy with the way the curls turned out today however, I didn’t pull all the curls out -there are still ringlets …meaning, this could be two times bigger – and it probably will have grown by the end of the day! Today it feels very natural actually, as if I had really curly hair. LOVE IT! {and it kinda feels like Flashdance hair}
Isn’t it funny how we constantly want what we don’t have? I mean how many of you curly haired girls straighten your ringlets out daily? I would DIE for a big curly mane!
Very excited for Project Runway tonight. Gives Thursdays a whole new meaning!
We watched 17 Again last night and laughed almost as hard as we did while watching I Love You Man. Totally unexpected and totally funny.
