Bells are back!

What is the one trend from the 70's that we thought would never come back in style? If you guessed bell bottoms then you are correct, but leave it to the ladies of Show Me Your Mumu and Free People to bring bells back full throttle. Actually, boho is so big in fashion right now it totally makes sense that bells are back! I predict that bells are going to be all over fashion for Spring. We'll see if I'm right when March rolls around. Until then, the big question is how to style them without looking like a snapshot of my mom in the 70's? 

How To Style:

One way to modernize wearing bells is to wear with a solid, flowy top and solid wedges. You want the concentration solely on your amazing pants which is why everything else should be solid or neutral.

Totally loving the way Show Me Your Mumu styled these "Bam bam bells," which were mentioned in my previous post. Again, notice the solid top to showcase the bold print of the pants. Also, take note that bells are usually super long so a high shoe (preferably wedge) is absolutely necessary. 

Not one to wear solids? Pair bells with a printed top or fringe kimono for an ultra hippie/boho festival vibe. 

Another way to modernize bells is wear them with a graphic tee or muscle tank and hat. This look is so free people-esque.

Kimono Craze

Today’s post comes from an old photo I took last year when H&M first started selling online. When I discovered they would finally offer online shopping for the United States, I was super excited to say the least. One of the first things that I did when it became available was order this dress & kimono. I am reintroducing this outfit because I really love how the kimono looks with the slightly high-low dress and the Madden Girl combat boots add an unexpected edge. I opted for a spiked cuff to add some sparkle which matches the studs on my boots. Since this picture, the kimono fad has skyrocketed and now almost every major clothing company carries them.

What I Wore

Due to the lack of blog posting on my end, how about a few pictures of what I wore last week? The quality is obviously going to be smart phone once again, but I am officially home and promise blog-worthy pictures ASAP.

Anyways, here is What I Wore.

  

I hope you enjoyed the Holiday; I know I did. Now it is time to get back to the real world and count down the days until Christmas break! Giveaway coming soon and Mention Monday tomorrow!
