Blake Lively Can’t Stop Wearing Bell Bottoms and Cardigans For Fall

Blake Lively (the fully self-styled queen) has been tapping into her indie-girl fashion phase as of late. Channeling the decade that delivered bell bottoms, platforms, corduroy, and Penny Lane coats, the actress is the definition of a modern-day 70s style icon (see: brown striped midiskirt and flared jeans), but nothing could’ve prepared us for her latest retro-inspired ‘fit.

While out and about in New York City on Tuesday, the actress was spotted wearing a stylish ensemble that featured an oversized brown cable-knit cardigan sweater. Leaving the staple unbuttoned, Blake layered the knitted cardigan over a crisp blue-and-white striped button-up, which she tucked into a pair of high-waisted bell bottom jeans. A smattering of brown accessories, including lace-up quilted Chanel hiking boots, brown-lensed sunglasses, and a mahogany leather Gucci shoulder bag, put the final touches on her 70s-inspired outfit.

On the beauty front, she kept her glam to a minimum with rosy cheeks and glossy lips while styling her wet, curly hair in a navy blue beanie adorned with the NY Yankees emblem.

The actress’s outing came shortly after her husband, Ryan Reynolds, spoke at the Bring Change to Mind Revels & Revelations 11 event on Monday, where he got candid about the couple teaching their four kids the importance of “self-awareness.”

“For me, the best time of my day is walking them to school and walking them back,” he told People at the event. “I think as parents, we are so much better equipped to handle the rigors of childhood through our kids now than when I was a kid. It’s just totally different now. People are much more self-aware. And that’s the thing we sort of hang our hat on the most is self-awareness with our kids. Not be happy, not be anything, just be self-aware and welcome everything in.”
