70s Beatnik

I went out shopping with my Aunts last week. I had previously bought these (adorable and surprisingly comfie) pin-tuck, wide-leg, front-pocket, high-waist jeans (say that three times fast) in October and haven't worn them much, so here they are!
Because I also wanted to wear this Ivory Ella fleece bomber jacket-- striped with blue, fuchsia and yellow-- I had to carefully plan what else to wear with the jeans. I opted for a marigold turtle neck, a matching beret, ankle boots, handbag and gloves. I decided to add more fuchsia into the mix by wearing a fuchsia tank underneath, a pink panda ring, a fuchsia crossbody (yes I had two pocketbooks with me), fuchsia fray earrings, and matching lipstick. I added a multi-strand white, marigold and fuchsia beaded necklace. Lastly, I wore marigold eye shadow (and added a dark smoke). 

Jeans: Kohl's, coupon and sale, $35-- way more than I would normally spend on clothing but these were exactly what I was looking for at the time.
