Earlier this week I went to co-work with other creative ladies here in Austin. One of the girls brought little goodies- pins and prints- for all of us. I was flattered when she handed me a pin she brought especially for me. “I carried a watermelon” it said. She thought it was cute because it referenced my kids. My thoughts went a different direction.

I know this summer has been all about the 70’s revival in fashion, but the styles in Dirty Dancing can easily be worn today as well. Flouncy dresses, tied shirts, cut-off shorts, capri’s are all still totally relevant.

Here are a few things I found that are current but definitely have a sweet “Baby” look to them:

What do you think about these updated 60’s looks? Would you wear them?
