The Chelsea Girl Look

[tifa]

sienna and mary kate? chelsea girl? lol. no. chelsea girl...i associate that with british girls, very 60s, very opaque tights and shift dresses, eyeliner, cute haircuts, mary quant...etc.

I'll say it again: Zooey Deschanel?

 

[tifa]

I think everyone has a slightly different interpretation of what a "Chelsea Girl" looks like.

See.. while I agree with the tights and shifts/dresses part, I also think of 70's instead of 60's.. more hippyish, in a way... with headbands and cute layering and all that.

For me it's like a mix of the sixties and the seventies. Things from both eras.

I agree, it is both 60's and 70's, but I am leaning more to the 60's.

And I think Tifa did a good job of describing this style.

I am glad this has become more of a discusion than it was before.

yeah i agree with you dbear! more 6os

 

[lostinemotion]

i think for spring 07 things will get very 60's...
not in a flower power way but more like sexy innocent groupie way

bixby yahoo images is not a valid source... we need the individual sites that the pictures came from, otherwise they will have to be deleted
