This is the first post of many I will be making about 60s fashion. I looooove it. All the gogo boots, mini skirts, big hair and crazy colors. Yes, there will be much more to come. But for now, here’s a little history fact I learned. Jean Shrimpton (pictured below) was the first to coin the term “mini skirt.” She was considered the icon of “Swinging London” and one of the world’s first super models. She actually came a little before Twiggy and broke the model mold with her long legs and slim figure. She was known for her “long hair with bangs, wide doe-eyes ,long wispy eyelashes, arched brows, and pouty lips.”

So during my New Year’s Eve extravaganza, I did some drunk people-watching. They were drunk, I was, er, happy. Anyway, now I know I’m no fashion diva, but some of the fashion felonies I witnessed last night just can’t go unblogged. For instance:

Pleather leggings – It takes a bold woman with some killer legs to rock any sort of form fitting vinyl pant. And props to you if you can, but the girl(s) I saw last night in them were not those women. At one point I think someone asked if she had garbage bags on her legs. Very tight garbage bags.

It’s a shirt not a dress. Again, maybe if you have Megan Fox’s body you can pull off a shirt as a dress, but girl from last night, you are not Megan Fox. One of your legs is about the size of Megan Fox. And ladies PLEASE, for the love of God, if you’re going to wear a mini dress, wear some underwear. I’m talking to you, super trashed girl in the tube dress from last night. Yeah you, the one sprawled out on our booth crying at midnight. Here’s a little equation for ya:

Mini dress + 4 bottles of champagne – underwear = BAD IDEA

Bone pumps – don’t wear them with black pants, especially with black pleather leggings (you know who you are.) And especially if they look like this:

Sparkle overload – I know it’s an exciting time. We’re ringing in a new year. It’s the best time to bust out something flashy. I totally agree! But know when to cut yourself off. I love me a sequin too, but you also don’t want to be mistaken for a disco ball, or a vampire :)
