Getting to the bottom of these Bell Bottoms
Hey everyone! It’s Wednesday so it’s officially time for an outfit for you all!
I actually did a bit of research on the background of my bell bottom overalls because they’re one of the true true vintage pieces I have in my wardrobe. They are stained like crazy, and ripped up on the hem, but that just makes me love them even more for some strange reason. I’m probably just nuts.
The label on my overalls says “GWG scrubbies”, so I am assuming they were used as some sort of carpentry, or painting attire based on the style, and the stains. Unfortunately, the only actual information I could get from the internet relating to my scrubbies was the fact that they were made in the 70′s. It sounds quite accurate seeing as “elephant pants” (denim bell bottoms) were a huge trend during the mid - late 70′s. I searched for further info regarding the brand “GWG” but all I found was a women’s hunting brand called “Girls with guns”, which didn’t really seem like it had anything to do with the 70′s trend at all.
Anyway, I will stop there, before I end up boring you too heavily with information regarding my overalls. The point that I was getting to is that BELL BOTTOMS ARE BACK!! Of course skinny jeans are still ruling the fashion industry, and I’m sure they will continue to do so for a while now, but I’m so excited to continue strutting around Vancouver in these wide legged statement making pantaloons. They are just so much fun!
It’s refreshing to have a new style of pant come in to my life, I was getting awfully tired of having to undo my pants every time I sat down because they were too tight. A big thanks to fashion for helping a girl out!
Moving along to the other elements of my look: I’ve got on an old school 90′s “Le Chateau” mesh floor length cape thingy that really makes me feel like i’m mixing Sabrina the Teenage Witch with Three’s Company, but it’s fine. I have a lot of fun mixing and matching different era’s of fashion! I’m also wearing a cropped zip up vintage reworked top, which i bought from F As In Frank, and I’ve also got on my checkered vans slip on’s to add a fun little Bones Brigade vibe to tie this 70′s/80′s/90′s look together!
Anyways, I hope you start wearing bell bottoms too, cuz they’re freakin awesome.
Stay tuned for next week’s Outfit, and I’ll catch ya’ll on the flip!
