Style Inspiration: Janis Joplin

Born in the conservative Texas town of Port Arthur, Janis Joplin's talent landed her in the halls of the rock and roll greats of the 1960s.

Check out the dress leggings combo. Patterned tights and leggings really became a fashion trend in the late 60's.

This is one of the only picture I can find of her where she is this "bare".

More fabulous patterned tights.

Look at this picture. Look at the people in the background. She is a riot of color in this drab setting....

A vastly complex woman who reeled between music styles and clothing style Janis was a whirlwind of color. A true tour de force she carved out her own niche in the rock industry with her heart felt blues style vocals....Janis became a member of the famous 27 club when she overdosed and unfortunately died from heroin usage.

I look to Janis whenever I feel like an outfit that I have put together is too "loud" or "odd" or "off the wall". I think to myself that maybe I have gone over board when Janis' gravely voice pops into my head telling me "hey fuck em girl if they can't love you". Janis had a flare for the colorful and dramatic, she embodied the late 60's counter culture style while keeping something that was purely her. Here's to you Janis....you and Bobby McGee.
