For Jimi

by Karen Blanchard
6 December 2011

I couldn’t be inspired by a greater guy from his time…



Blazer: Theory. Black skinnies: MNG by Mango. Boots called “Prank”: Steve Madden. Lace shirt: Thrift/second hand shop.  Fringe bag: Gypsy Nation vintage. Shades: Ray Ban.
Here’s part 2 of 3 posts for the Steve Brings It Campaign.  The first post was (here).
I was asked to create a play list and included some hall of fame tracks from Woodstock (my Steve Madden theme.  Oh yeahhhh).  Jimi Hendrix was one of the biggest music and style icons of that time so I chose a look loosely based around him. I cannot think of a better man to be inspired by style wise.
My list (check Pandora for more flower power):

Star Spangled banner (LIVE) by Jimi Hendrix
Hey Joe – Jimi Hendrix
Purple Haze – Jimi Hendrix
Don’t Fear the Reaper – Blue Oyster Cult
Let it Be – The Beatles
ps. If anyone’s (still) not heard that first track from Jimi, you have got to hear it.
