70's Kaight.

Yesterday I was decked out in Kaight Goodies and I was lovin' every minute of it. My favorite style era has to be the 70's. Oh, How I wish I was a flower child. As I was researching, everything that I came across embodied one word in particular. Freedom. The free movement the garments and freedom for peace and equality. I finished "Dandelion: Memoir of a Free Spirit" By Catherine James, the story focused on the 60's and 70's which included all aspects of Rock n Roll from the music to the style. She would talk about going on dates with Bob Dylan in her high waisted jeans and her platform sandals and vintage top. As I thought more about it, I realized I a flower child.. just from the 80's. I still wear the high waisted, wide leg jeans, the clogs, and the A-Line coats.

What I particularly love about this ensemble is that each piece has a story to tell. The bag was made out of a recycled leather jacket and is a one of a kind, the jeans and sweater are organic cotton both made in the U.S., the clogs are all vegetable tanned leather and hand made, the belt is made out of cork and has a leather lining that is vegetable tanned, the vintage tee and coat are now in their 2nd life, and the tagua nut ring speaks for itself.


Peace & Love,
