The 1920’s were a time of high drama and high contrast. From the heroic return of veterans from the largest scale war mankind had ever known to the burgeoning Jazz scene that encouraged women to throw off overly restrictive undergarments and dance, dance, dance.
An era of women not afraid to leave their corsets at home

There are two things I believe in 1) Champagne and 2) every era of fashion will eventually come back or influence current trends. Some looks are too cute, fabulous and wearable to let sit in the cupboard after they were all the rage.
Today we have a look at some bygone style eras and show you how to wear the iconic looks today. Dust off your bell bottoms, sweetheart necklines and floral accessories it’s time for a fashion montage. – Bec
The 70’s was one of the GREATEST decades in our modern history. It was the movement era where people really truly started standing up for their rights and the rights of others. Women were liberated in most western countries (this started in the early 60’s), The Vietnam War came to an end (1975) and in its long fight caused much controversy and protest, Margaret Thatcher was elected Prime Minister of England (the first female leader for the country), Richard Nixon resigned due to the ‘Watergate’ scandal & plenty more.
In this time fashion was not only the clothes on your back, It was a statement of who you were and what you believed in! Women started wearing more racy clothes exposing more of themselves than ever before, hippies started wearing clothes that were fashionable AND environmentally cool (hemp, ladies and gentlemen, hemp) and business women started wearing pant-suits that were rivalling their male counterparts. Women had sex appeal and smarts and certainly were able to show that through their threads.

We decided to create a different Polyvore set this week on different date scenarios to give a different range of outfits for different tastes.
I’m not so much an evening dress kind of girl, I would much rather a little picnic outing with my partner to have a casual afternoon lazying about in a gorgeous park.
The set above is what I would consider an appropriately cute outfit for a picnic outing.
I have a strange attraction to mustard and navy colours together, and seems to be a common theme when I’m looking to make new Polyvore sets!
A cute frilled singlet combined with shorts, simple cardigan and basic ballet flats to keep the afternoon casually cute. Don’t forget a big bag to carry delicious nom noms and your partner’s wallet, keys, and bits because that’s what we do right?
