Every designer from Marc Jacobs to Armani has versions to offer at their boutiques but why not opt for the retro thing? Mix in metallic accessories and add hair ornaments and you\u2019ll be transported back in time to Studio 54. Don\u2019t stop there. The peasant blouse is not for the lower classes, it\u2019s for the masses. Wear them with platform wood, or cork wedge sandals.\u00a0 Finally, complete the 70\u2019s look with wide legged trousers or calf length skirts. The 70\u2019s were all about wearing strong color. Go for a wide range of shades ranging from mustard to pumpkin orange. Just don\u2019t turn into a pumpkin!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_314\" style=\"width: 405px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-314\" href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/vintage-fashion-faire\/ball-happily-show-glow\/attachment\/marc-jacobs-runway-spring-2011-mercedes-benz-fashion-week-13\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-314\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-314\" title=\"Marc-Jacobs-Runway-Spring-2011-Mercedes-Benz-Fashion-Week-13\" src=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Marc-Jacobs-Runway-Spring-2011-Mercedes-Benz-Fashion-Week-13.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"395\" height=\"594\" srcset=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Marc-Jacobs-Runway-Spring-2011-Mercedes-Benz-Fashion-Week-13.jpg 395w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/Marc-Jacobs-Runway-Spring-2011-Mercedes-Benz-Fashion-Week-13-99x150.jpg 99w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 395px) 100vw, 395px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-314\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Marc Jacobs Spring 2011 Runway <\/p><\/div>\n<p>Opt for either a monochrome or a multi-colored outfit and accessorize it with belts, hats, as well as handbags. Besides wearing the right shoes, all of these details can actually make you the belle of the ball.<\/p>\n<p>Get inspired from the current runway fashion collections by Fendi, Salvatore Ferragamo, &amp; Marc Jacobs, since they are truly remarkable!<\/p>\n<p>Show your LACE. \u00a0Lace can be used in many different mediums and styles. Look for 70\u2032s bohemian lace like Ralph Lauren used in their ads and runways , or tablecloth lace from Dolce &amp; Gabbana, lingerie inspired lace from Nina Ricci, and colored lace from Zac Posen. Lace can be used in full looks as well as a detail within trims and embellishments. This is a flirty fashion trend for spring as well as the summer season, 2011. ANTIQUE\/TABLECLOTH LACE includes white and tea stained lace that channels the 70\u2032s.\u00a0 The mood is bohemian, western and romantic and the silhouettes include baby doll dresses, frilly blouses, and as I mentioned earlier peasant tops, and maxi dresses. White tablecloth lace was shown in splendor at Dolce &amp; Gabbana ,who channeled 1950\u2032s images of vintage Italian women.\u00a0 The lace referenced here is larger and more exaggerated than the antique lace and incorporates crochet and white eyelet details into trims and patchwork layers. Style this up with feathers and 70\u2019s fringe, cowboy boots, wooden wedges and Saint Tropez woven sandals.\u00a0 This flirty style can be used in your dress and can also be incorporated as a curtain panel.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_315\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-315\" href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/vintage-fashion-faire\/ball-happily-show-glow\/attachment\/antique_lace-1-1\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-315\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-315\" title=\"antique_lace-1-1\" src=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/antique_lace-1-1-440x339.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"339\" srcset=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/antique_lace-1-1-440x339.jpg 440w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/antique_lace-1-1-150x115.jpg 150w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/antique_lace-1-1-550x424.jpg 550w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/antique_lace-1-1.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-315\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Antique lace looks<\/p><\/div>\n<p>The look of lace is nostalgic and can be used for a subtle accent piece or a full length, wedding gown. There are plenty of lace options at the Point, from Victorian lace to machine-made lace. Whatever your mood, you can find the right bits to show off your romantic side. LINGERIE INSPIRED LACE describes a dressy delicate lace that was seen on the runways in New York with beaded embellishments and in combination with other fabrications such as sheer chiffon.\u00a0 The mood of this style has a boudoir feel referencing Parisian burlesque and silhouettes from the 1920\u2032s as well as the 1950\u2032s Mad Men look, featuring delicate bows and floral embellishments in combination with sheer lace ruffles and satin details.\u00a0 This classification is sexy and feminine and goes right along with 2011\u2032s nod to glamour.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_317\" style=\"width: 450px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a rel=\"attachment wp-att-317\" href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/vintage-fashion-faire\/ball-happily-show-glow\/attachment\/model-in-tiered-lace-gown-with-sash\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-317\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-317\" title=\"Model in Tiered Lace Gown with Sash\" src=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/balenciaga-vintage-lace-1951-440x435.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"440\" height=\"435\" srcset=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/balenciaga-vintage-lace-1951-440x435.jpg 440w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/balenciaga-vintage-lace-1951-150x148.jpg 150w, http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/03\/balenciaga-vintage-lace-1951.jpg 485w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 440px) 100vw, 440px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-317\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Balenciaga vintage lace gown, ca. 1951<\/p><\/div>\n<p>These vintage styles will be bountiful at <a href=\"http:\/\/alamedapointantiquesfaire.com\" target=\"_blank\">The Alameda Point Vintage Fashion Faire<\/a>.
