Too Old
At first look, Bottega Veneta's fall ready to wear collection is 'inspired' by the sixties, updated by new textures and fabrics. But after a full perusal, it seems as if Tomas Maier took a trip through his grandmother's closet. It was a line up of turtlenecks, suits reminiscent of old Chanel, and little girl white tights. Now, I know that Tavi brought about the 'little girl gone old' mentality, but seriously. I enjoy being seventeen (almost legal, baby!).
So thank god for Diane Von Furstenburg, and especially Emporio Armani. They realize that not every girl wants to look like a woman past her prime. The clothes are modern, sophisticated, and have a touch of humor. Everything mixes textiles and patterns to look very young and fresh. I know it's in a darker palette for fall, but come on. I certainly don't want to wear a cotton candy pink turtleneck. But hey, that's just me.
What do you think? Is it time to grow up or do you embrace your age?
P.S. I've been having some computer trouble, so please bare with me on the small photos and time in between posts.

Let Your Hair Down
Despite my bashing, I really do love this new look in fashion. The 70s had a wonderful bohemian sophistication; the women never seemed as if they were trying. "Yes, Darling. I just threw this on and am this fabulous." Maybe it's because the 70s had some of the most flattering fits and cuts of any era. Because jeans were flared, hips looked smaller in comparison. Because shirts were looser on top or had bell sleeves, those of us with little chest had something to distract from our lack of cleavage.
I now find myself scouring vintage stores for 70s clothing or 70s inspired clothing. I love how something as simple as a white button down becomes transformed with large sleeve or an embellishment. I feel the whole point of the 70s was not to look 'done'. Naturally beautiful, age appropriate, and always stylish was the name of the game.
What do you think? Are you loving the 70s or do you want to send the Disco back where it belongs?
