A lot of people say that in order to wear vintage, the key is not to wear it head to toe. We respectfully disagree: some classic vintage pieces have a timeless feel, so you can wear them with other vintage items and not look like you're in full costume.
This week, we're working around a popular basic that you can wear all year round: a short sleeve button up.
This top is a lovely pale peach color--very on trend with this season's nude and coral color schemes. We created a more free-spirited look, as well as a more classic look (or as I might call them to DC people in-the know: a Mt. Pleasant look and a Georgetown look).
Those knit 70s wide legs are pretty wild, right? Everything else is more pared down. I would knot the blouse at your midriff (like Jayme did here) and leave the vest open. Add some funky gold and wooden jewelry to complete the look.
Total cost for the entire outfit: $99.
This is another easy look--just leave the blouse where it sits on your natural waist (or tuck it in and add a cute skinny belt!). The jean jacket is classic, as is the Lacoste alligator logo on the skirt. A wicker purse and bright closed toe espadrilles complete the look.
Hope you enjoyed this first installment of One Piece, Two Ways! What will we style next? Stay tuned...
