the 60s and 70s are my two favorite decades for fashion inspiration. i love that the trends are based around casual glamour and a no-muss-no-fuss attitude. and while i'll always be most comfortable in a boho dress and super flare jeans, i'm having a bit of trouble resisting the 40s style looks that are popping up this fall. the fitted silhouttes and structured accessories definitely aren't about easy glamour, but what girl doesn't like to look like a lady every once in awhile?

Absolutely true, you need a bit of ladylike glam and the 40s style is perfect for this. I think I'll make my contribution looking for some beautiful fitted dresses...
