When She's 64 - Cher Style Then And Now

Only a 64 year old Cher could get away with wearing this outfit at the MTV Music Video Awards

Tasteful no, but hilarious yes

And at least she has a since of humor about it
From the Daily Mail

'I have shoes older than most of these nominees,' she told a cheering audience. 'I'm the oldest chick with the biggest hair in the littlest costume.

'Back in the day, I used to get thrown off MTV for wearing things like this that seem so tame now,' she added. 'That's when Lady Gaga was Baby Gaga.'

I've been thinking about 1970s Cher style recently because of this vintage turquoise jewelry on Beladora2.

Vintage 1970s Double Strand Turquoise Bead Necklace

Vintage 1970's Turquoise and Shell Dangle Earrings

Vintage 1970s Turquoise Cuff Bracelet

The client that we bought the jewelry from was kind enough to provide us with a copy of this actual People Magazine cover from 1975 featuring Cher in all of her turquoise splendor.

I love the headlines

Donald Rumsfeld Ford's 'No' Man

and 

Led Zeppelin Bigger Than The Beatles

I will admit that in 1975 I had zero idea who Donald Rumsfeld was 

but I did listen to a lot of Led Zeppelin.

Mixed Messages From Vogue - I'm So Confused

Is Vogue style schizophrenic?

Vogue.com gives us the August Best Dressed List including these two images of Leigh Lezark, whoever she is and Beyonce.

Are these the kind of clothes that you have to wear to make it to Vogue's Best Dressed List?

And then we have the Classic Revival in the Vogue print issue featuring these 1960s -1970s inspired looks, clean lines, reasonably sized ladylike bags, tasteful good jewelry.

Why is Vogue all over the place?  

Doesn't Anna Wintour have a clear fashion vision or is she trying to be everything to everyone?

BTW, I'm thrilled that we are finally moving back towards classic styles, although there is nothing elegant about those chunky heeled yellow shoes.

Is anyone besides me getting a Ali McGraw 'The Getaway' - Faye Dunaway 'Thomas Crown Affair' vibe from these fashions?
