Brings Back Memories...
Big hair, big hoops, and Elvis belt 70's style. When I saw this belt in the thrift store I immediately thought of Elvis. And having a soft spot in my heart for The King I bought it...even though I had no idea what I was going to wear it with. I've had it for about a year and I think this is the first time it's been worn.
I got to see Elvis live in concert when I was 15 years old. That was about a year before he passed away. I'll never forget the unbelievable electricity that was in that arena when he entered it and the whole time he was up on that stage. I can still feel it running through me every time I remember that night.
Did any of you get to see him...and did the experience leave an impression?

What a cool experience for you! Like how you are channeling the King with your belt. Love all the purple! You look fab...
ReplyDeleteYou know I love Elvis, too! Love and miss ya!
ReplyDeleteLisa, that belt and those shoes are seeeeeexy!!!!! Nice job on the hair too! I love experimenting with different hairstyles almost as much as clothing styles.
ReplyDeleteI only wish I'd been able to see Elvis live and in person! His concerts looked positively electric! How awesome that you were able to attend one. :D
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful, and have a lovely wardrobe! What fabulous finds and gorgeous pieces. :D I really dig the belt, and think it was the perfect addition!
Two bucks for your jeans?! Wow. You're right - there's a definite Elvis vibe there - looks great! I always loved Elvis movies. I watched Clam Bake a month ago when I had a cold. Excellent. "Hey gang, let's go for a clam bake!"
ReplyDeleteyou always have the best buys...look at all the amazing prices. The belt is a nice statement piece. Elvis is the music legend, but his life is such a sad story though.
