I say "blouse and slacks" all the time-we're a bit behind the times here. <br /><br />@ Polyester Princess<br /><br />I really like the brown and blue combo you had on your blog today-you look great in it.

The belt looks really good with it. And I think the specs are great on you. xxxPolyester Princesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05602613792584925087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-28986367016937304752016-03-15T12:07:09.199-07:002016-03-15T12:07:09.199-07:00That skirt and shirt (I have a problem with the wo...That skirt and shirt (I have a problem with the word "blouse", it's like slacks or wireless, I can't say them without shuddering) look like a dress, what an ace bit of pattern mixing.<br />Loving those specs, the bigger and more insane the better for me. I bought a pair of stupid sized 1970s ones today and didn't notice they said BLAST in big gold letters on the side until I got home. i love them more now. xxxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-84227624796045315652016-03-15T11:37:10.375-07:002016-03-15T11:37:10.375-07:00@Beth

And I can't look like a 70's drug dealer in a pashmina ;)<br /><br />@Bibi<br />When my mum had these frames they had amber lenses, which looked so cool on her with blonde hair and a golden tan. On me, I'm afraid I'd just look sick. Lavender is something to think about though-thank you. <br /><br />@Mim<br />The only real trick to it is keeping the shade/tones the same. I rather like the idea of a patchwork rag bag-go for it!<br /><br />@Veronica<br />Sadly, my waist isn't tiny-just looks so in the close-up photo of the belt. It was okay until I was about 45-then everything dropped! Funny too, because I have no idea where my shoulders went.<br /><br />Happy Birthday to your grandson-in the US 21 is the all-important date when you can have your first legal drink (I'm old enough to remember when it was 18). <br /><br />I just looked at that link. Now *that's* how to celebrate St. Patrick's. The shamrock tights...there are just no words.

I thought it was a no no - until I saw what some bloggers did with their patterns and then I was converted.<br /><br />I didn't realise it was a skirt and separate blouse either - it looks like a dress. Lovely shades of brown together and fabulous pattern mixing. The spotty shoes are fab and as for those earrings - they're gorgeous. Like the flower, too. It's good to be able to get some catwalk styles on the cheap for a change! Amazing belt and what a teeny-tiny Scarlett O' Hara waist you have...I'm well jel (as my daughter would say - very jealous)! I woke up one day about 18 years ago to find my waist had disappeared and it's never come back...<br /><br />I think what you refer to as tri-focals we call vari focals? I have those and remember the first time I wore them; I was literally lifting my head and pointing my nose at what I wanted to look at - it was so weird at first but now I'm used to them. As I love purple and it's many variants I'd go with Bibi's suggestion of a lavender tint but then it won't be me wearing them!<br /><br />Decisions, decisions - let us know what you chose. <br /><br />I'm just off to decorate my 21 year old grandson's birthday cake with chocolate buttons...x<br /><br />Veronica<br />vronni60s.blogspot.com<br /><br />Vronni's Style Meanderingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17122302881528071270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-17269728881150610202016-03-15T02:20:31.978-07:002016-03-15T02:20:31.978-07:00Eeeeh, that level of pattern mixing is for black-b...Eeeeh, that level of pattern mixing is for black-belt co-ordinators like yourself only. You can pick ones that work, I'd look like a patchwork scrap bag. I can't remember the last time I wore more than one pattern at a time!Mimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01578612522819952936noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-48323361195118753652016-03-14T20:52:34.514-07:002016-03-14T20:52:34.514-07:00I agree with Beth, that pattern mixing ensemble is...I agree with Beth, that pattern mixing ensemble is so brilliantly done it looks "designer"!<br />I'm liking the "Starsky & Hutch" knit cardigan with that too. I skipped paying attention to fashion week this year. I can't handle the BS that passes for news around all this election nonsense too so I haven't turned the tv on either.<br /> I vote for lavender or ambery lenses for the 60's owl frames. Amber because it's sort earth tone-y & also a bit Hunter S Thompson. Lavender because it's almost purple, like psychedelic, far out, & groovy, maaaaan.<br />I'm also loving that cerise & gold housecoat flapping in the breeze behind you on your new banner. More cerise if you please!Bibi Maizoonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383381158640915162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189165.post-2836961350398123112016-03-14T18:31:30.542-07:002016-03-14T18:31:30.542-07:00I'm amazed that this is a skirt and blouse com...I'm amazed that this is a skirt and blouse combo rather than a dress manufactured with more than the usual designer's daring. Very nicely coordinated! The belt and flower are exactly what you intended: accessories that enhance rather than tip the ensemble into a pastiche of a era.<br /><br />My vote is cast for the blue tint on the new lenses.<br /><br />Muttered in low dcb's and typed in 3pt: psst! Methinks the sweater is too heavy for the shoes and bag. Got a brown pashmina in your stash?Beth Waltzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02720634636307254576noreply@blogger.com
