Almost 30! || 70’s Glam Dinner Party Style Inspo

Hey guys!

Good morning! I have a big birthday coming up on Sunday, and in celebration of leaving my twenties, we’ll be kicking down the door of my 30th in full 70’s Glam Dinner Party flair!

This isn’t your everyday, casual vibe. No. We’re dressing up!! In an effort to point my guests in the right direction, I spent a lot of time curating a visual compilation of some of my favorite looks from back then, as well as modern adaptations to share here on the blog.

Anyone who knows me knows that a solid 75% of my style is inspired by this era. The hair, the fashion, the music, the activism, all of it. Totally my stylo…

So! Pick out your afro. If you’ve got a layered cut, bust out the wings. Center part your hair. Grab that turtleneck and suit. Throw on that jumpsuit/maxi, and most importantly, your fur! Grab that fur collar, vest, coat –your call– and let’s celebrate!

Press. Play.

I want everybody stepping into that thang like this:

or this:

Whichever your stylo haha Below you’ll find the gallery. Enjoy!

Peace, Love, & Sunshine ~Chels

That time I got locked out of Bill and Debra’s taking out the trash. Wearing the overcoat of the old man next door, his nurse had me wait on the steps… Maybe it was because I was running around the neighborhood (the shame! haha), in my socks, trying to borrow someone’s phone. Which leads to the size and a half too small shoes on my feet from the neighbors across the street. He politely explained to me that they were Gucci, so please don’t forget to bring them back. What a mess of a day haha
Headed home to Sugar Land for the first time since the journey began. I was leaving with so much more than I came with. It was a literal 180. God had blessed me with a new job and a place by then. So much to be thankful for. This was a good day :’-)

“The things you are passionate about are not random, they are your calling.” – Fabienne Fredrickson

This is somewhat of an about me post. For the sake of clarity, here’s the rundown: I’m an Image Consultant x Personal Stylist x Writer x Brand Strategist x Futurist

I have a nonprofit designed to provide underserved kids k-12 with confidence building experiences through fashion called Mia’s Closet, and the work we do means the world to me.

My dreamy in a perfect world goal is simple, help as many people as possible feel good about themselves, hold their head high, and look their best while doing so –kids and adults alike.

It’s not just about the clothes or fashion, it’s about positive self-expression and the confidence that builds from moments of intention to do so.
