If you’ve been following along for some time now, it’s evident that the style of the Margo & Me girl comes from decades before her. From a time when clothes were so much more than something thrown on last minute, and instead, items to represent soul and self-pride. There’s something to be said about a woman who wears the clothing, instead of the clothing wearing her, and that’s something I strive for whenever curating a look for my everyday life or this site. It’s a style lesson from the past that I always keep in mind. And one era that’s always stood out to me as inspiration overload while running Margo & me is the 1960’s.
I adore the feminine, playful, intentional approach to clothing during the ’60s, and the vibe the fashion represents. Which is why, to this day, I love to add touches of the decade. A cat eye, voluminous hair, a bold dress, all simple yet statement ways to incorporate the ’60s and the modern day woman’s lifestyle. It’s a combo that makes me feel confident, and I believe it’s one that can be created quite easily when you know where to look.
When shopping for this perfect mesh of today and yesterday, I live for the aesthetic Ted Baker provides. Their AW17 Collection is especially appealing, with the frill-detailed blouses, gorgeous cape jackets, and even a pair of trousers with a hint of femininity for the working girl. I mean, stunning right? Their collection also inspired me when shooting this dress – a look I plan on returning to quite often.
So, tell me, Margo & Me babe, what decade lights you up? Where do you pull inspo from when putting together your closet?
Great outfit!

Thank you babe!
Love the dress. It’s fantastic!
Isn’t it fun?! Thank you!
You totally rock the 60s! I always love seeing your modern take on the decade, you have a knack for weaving it in so organically so that it doesn’t look costume-y whatsoever, and you exude such a joy in your sartorial choices!

Probably the 40s and 50s inspire me the most but also Victorian as well! Loved this post, those photos are stunning! Xx
Simply amazing! A fabulous 2017 restyle of the 60’s and the shoes are lovely as well 😉

I love the 50s and 60s classic Americana fashion, like Jackie O for clothing but it’s funny because for homes and interiors my aesthetic is much more traditional than the mid-century modern look.

Agreed! There’s something so romantic about these eras in fashion.
