Perfectly Printed Sweaters

While shopping at the mall the other day, I was surprised by the less than subtle printed knits. From black and white to colorful prints and the eye catching southwestern prints. This took me back to the late 80's early 90's. I am guilty of wearing bold colors and eye catching prints, sometimes over done but always right on trend. Here are FreshandSwanky's currently listed trendy sweaters but even better, they are originals from the 70's and 80's.

 This 1980's Pink Acrylic sweater is just $19

Vintage Floral Maxi Dresses

I found this beautiful image from December's W Magazine and I was inspired to pull some of http://FreshandSwanky.com

vintage floral maxi dresses.

The following maxi dresses are dated from the 1970's to the 1980's.

This Floral Maxi Dress comes in the 1970's Prairie Style in white cotton, orange trim and is perfectly boho chic!

  

This 1970's Floral Gown comes in yellow nylon and has a rich, colorful, floral print in yellow, pale pink, and two tones of blue. Light weight and flowing fabric make for a lovely vintage statement.

This 1970's Maxi is one of my favorites, it comes in a blue polyester and has an abstract floral print in pink with splashes of white to bring a nice contrast throughout the fabric. This dress has a high wasted princess cut with a v neckline and long sleeves.

A beautiful vintage take on colorful, floral maxis.
