Ask Camp Comfort: 70's Style Special

Lovely reader, Nicole, recently wrote in to Ask Camp Comfort looking for some recommendations on how to achieve an "all 70's, all the time" look! And she came to the right girl because I LOVE 70's style!


Obviously, it can be hard to narrow a 10-year span into one specific look, so I'd like to break this down to my two favorite 70's looks: Collegiate (ala Ali Macgraw) and Country Loving Post-Hippie (ala Emmylou Harris). Luckily the wardrobe staples are pretty much the same for both:

Cropped Tees (for your high waisted pants - lots available via Topshop)


High Waisted, Flared Jeans (JBrand is currently the master at this style - here and here)


High Waisted, Denim Short Shorts (the dolphin side hem is always a nice touch - these style from Urban Outfitters)


Wedges (of course! Kork Ease and Vintage Cherokee are the best, the right pair by Delia's are also an inexpensive option)


Throw Back Tennis Shoes (Adidas, Asics, Nike - they all do remakes of their 70's styles)



And now for a little added fun - I asked Stephanie of Even Cleveland to help us out with some outfit styling. She put together a look for the 70's Tomboy (think Farrah Fawcett on a skateboard):


Info for Stephanie outfit here.

Finally, here's my modern update on the 70's Campus look:


Top ($23.99), Skirt ($39.99) and Earrings ($13.99) from Mod Cloth, Chickadee Vintage Coach Bag ($22), Frye Campus Boot (278).
