The influence of the 70s on fashion is all over the runways. I loved Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 collection. Fashion critics took notice of the Yves Saint Laurent references, but I felt there was was also an ode to Biba.
So let's get back to our Biba. We don't purchase a lot of Biba at Decades because women really wore those clothes like crazy so the condition of those vintage treasures can become a challenge. However, this ensemble is approved by Team Decades. I know we often talk about "two-fers" but this is a "three-fer".
The jacket would be brilliant with a pair of cute denim shorts. The jersey tank is really well cut, quite sexy and easy to dress up for a cocktail look. As for the pants, they are the silhouette of the season (once again)...sexy bell-bottom that hugs the derriere. The huge floppy hats Marc Jacobs showed on his runway might just be the perfect accessory to top off this "three-fer".
