Can you wear 1970’s style over 40?

Remember that old saying, “If you’ve lived through that trend once, you should’t try to do it again?”

Me either.

Total malarky as my Mother would say.

Personally I like a challenge.

When I was thrifting recently I stumbled across these insane patchwork boots

that look like they came right off that 70’s Show.

I knew they were coming home with me. I could figure out the details later.

I mean come on! How many people do you know that own patchwork boots?

Exactly.

That is why I had to have them.

I’m weird like that.

And at $12 I wasn’t breaking the bank.

As soon as I posted them on my Instagram account and Facebook people were wondering how I would style them.

Et voilà!

Boots – Thrifted (similar), Dress – Anthropologie (sim), Belt – Anthropologie (sim), Jean Jacket – H&M (sim) Clutch – Vintage (this one is just INSANE!)

After I’d bought them Greetje wrote me to tell me that she found these in the Dutch Harpers Bazar…apparently patchwork boots are “in”.

Funny how that works.

How do you feel about wearing a trend that you’ve already experienced earlier in life?

If you like these boots you might also like this outfit where I am wearing some Miu Miu boots that I scored via an estate sale.
