This week's vintage inspirations are random, but I'm feeling inspired by a number of different looks. I've always kind of been eclectic, more bohemian than anything else, but also a very girly girl. I see things I like on other people, but can't always decide if they look good on me until I try them (and make J or my darling Q take photos of me in them!). But there are some looks here I'm definitely thinking about employing in my own growing vintage-y wardrobe. Here are this week's lovely ladies:
1. secondskin Check out her entire Chictopia blog and you'll see how fantastic her outfits are. I love how all the pics are of her next to her mannequin (super cute idea), but I especially love this look with a mix of girly (dress) and menswear (oxford shoes and hat). And if that dress is chambray, as it looks: be still my heart--a piece of perfect vintage that's totally on the style radar of the moment. LOVE when that happens. And love this gal's looks.
2. merina I guess I'm having a little love affair with denim...and we already know how I feel about belting things (every woman should have a waist!), so this outfit has me taken. The floral dress and black tights (with brown shoes...a look I'm not sure I can pull off!) finish off this lovely combo.
3. anjalouise Another blogger whose entire wardrobe I covet--so many vintage looks, all hits, no misses! I'm especially i love with the pegged, high-waisted pants (another look that scares me personally, pear shape that I am) with peep toe heels! And the bright colors really stand out here against the basic navy.
4. mahayanna This red blazer immediately caught my attention. We used to have a very similar version in our shop. I think red could be the new basic over navy in terms of blazers for spring/summer. If you look closely, you'll notice she's also knotted her tee-shirt to one side--and it looks hip, not trashy! LOVE it.
So many looks, so little...money. But that's another reason I love vintage--it's a thrifty girl's DREAM! (And J and I are both super-thrifty! We love getting deals!) I have been working hard and plan on updating my spring vintage wardrobe soon as a reward. I occasionally keep pieces that we buy for the shop, but this time, I'm going to shop with one person in mind: me! I haven't done that in so long. And I'm brimming with fashion inspirations now thanks to these lovelies.
Alrighty, over and out for now...it's late and I'm almost tired.
Stay gorgeous,
A
