In the deep suburbs it’s difficult to find any inspired style. Everyone looks the same in their alt-leisure/yoga wear. So I was pleasantly surprised to spot this woman in the post office.
Screaming 70s style we have: the short jacket with faux fur trim hood, the flared tight jeans, and even her hard leather shoulder bag, which she doesn’t wear cross body – not done back then.
The boots can’t be seen here but they’re a low chunky heel and her hair is straight, long, and dyed very blonde. The clue that we haven’t entered a time-travel machine (given the age of the post office itself we might think, hmm …) is that she’s sporting the black shirt below the jacket hemline. That is a modern layering look and it wasn’t done back in the day.
I doubt any of these pieces are vintage but worn all together the total look certainly presents vintage.
Hooray for something different!
