WHETHER YOU REMEMBER THEM FONDLY OR NOT,  the freewheeling fashions of the 1970s  — peasant blouses, floppy hats, fringe bags and maxi dresses — are the mood of the moment.  So, for MyLittleBird’s June photo shoot for Fashion Washington, we asked model Felicia Flaherty, stylist Bonnie Kogod and Washington Post photographer Marvin Joseph to help us set the scene and conjure the look of the decade.
