Bell Bottom Trousers

Where would sailors be without them?

70's Disco Glam

Yikes, stripes!!  These aren’t the bell bottoms that I associate with sailors!

Still, I think my newest little bag might be more at home during the disco age, than sailing the seven seas.

Remember that shocking barkcloth?

This is what I came up with…

    1. Tammy, I wore them, and thought I pretty cool as well! It's funny, but now that they are called "flares" somehow they seem cuter:)

      Happy Easter to you too!!

    1. Thanks Lisa! I found this fabric at St. Vinnies! I almost talked myself out of it, because it's not my usual style, but I decided to take a chance on it,and I'm glad I did! :)

      Have a wonderful weekend!!

    1. Lisa-When I was in high school I used to love to babysit this couple because they had the soundtrack to Saturday Night Fever-and after I put the kids to bed I'd play that album over and over-at high volume:)

      Thanks for your comment-I always love what you have to say!!!
