Vintage Jacket part 2

Okay, so here is my first attempt at outfittting the vintage jacket from this post here.




My pinky "ring" is actually a vintage cufflink!


This is a vintage tie clip with the initials, "RJW" for my husband's grandpa.


Looking down these shoes remind me of this...







jacket/tie clip/pinky ring-vintage, scarf-Urban Outfitters, jeans-Asos, turtleneck-Gap, shoes-DSW(similar here), bag-Nine West(similar here) 


Okay so I kept most of the outfit simple here to highlight the jacket. I went with classic jeans and heels.  I did push the vintage vibe by adding the cuff link pinky "ring" and tie clip.  I'm not completely satisfied though.  I feel like I can do something way more interesting, play it less "safe."  I have to experiment a bit more, maybe go all out rock n' roll, or try something more in line with my workplace attire.  We shall see...


I did want to point out these jeans.  I got them in two different sizes since they price is so good on them. In these photos I'm wearing the size smaller size for when I go to yoga and pilates in the same week and have a salad everyday for lunch.  The other size is for after a night of downing a whole bag salt 'n vingear chips and half a bottle of wine.  Why am I revealing this deeply personal info, you may ask?  Because even if its a "fat" pants kind of day, you shouldn't let that deter you from wearing an outfit.

Annie Lennox Realness!

Love the tuxedo detail of these cropped pants. coat/pants-Jcrew(similar here and here ), blazer-Zara(similar here ), shirt-Asos(sort of similar here ), shoes-DSW(really cool here ), gloves-Brian Atwood for Neiman Marcus/Target(more gloves here ), sunglasses-Banana Republic(similar here ) I'm feeling very Annie Lennox circa Eurythmics in this outfit, eh? Most times wearing a coat is a necessity, not necessarily an intricate part of the outfit, but here it really makes the look. And even though the blazer is covered up the hints of it, almost like a lining, work break up an all grey/white look.  And now for your viewing pleasure  Sweet Dreams:   Have a great weekend!

Hamptons-Poolside-Chic meets Sue Ellen Ewing Early '80's Realness

Okay, this post title is ridiculous I know, BUT come on, it's accurate am I right? blouse- JOA via Le Tote , necklace/bracelet- Le Tote , trousers- Zara , belt-J.Crew,(similar here ) wedges- Sole Society These pleated drapey pants scream early 80's glamour. Paired with this sailor-suit-esque blouse I was definitely ready for a seaside cocktail party, right? This outfit also called to mind the elegance of early 80's  Dallas .  It has been my experience that as a child of the 80's one's house was either in the Dallas camp or the Dynasty camp. We were a Dallas household for sures. So, one of my earliest style influences was Sue Ellen Ewing . Despite the pills, the booze, the philandering husband, and lost potential of a life on her own terms Miss Sue Ellen kept it quite fierce especially in the early years of the show.  Here she is serving up sternum-baring chic!  I tried to watch the reboot of the series on TNT, but I just couldn...

Cowboy Boots & Floral Skirts

Western wear has seen a resurgence here with the Cowboy Carter of it all, among other influences. I'm not one for cowgirl cosplay, but I do enjoy a good boot. Here I've styled by western boots with a mixed print autumnal outfit.  Blazer-- Luciano Barbera via Threadflip(now defunct), henley-Gap(similar here ), shirt-Uniqlo(similar here ), skirt- Amazon , boots-Coconuts via DSW(similar here ), necklace/bracelet- Slide Jewelry , ring/necklace-Ana Luisa(similar here and here ) I last featured these boots in a spring/summer look here . And I styled them with this same skirt back in April here . While this top is part of a "matching set" featured here  I'm doing the classic styling hack of "breaking it up" and the olive green coordinates with the skirt. You can watch my reel of the cinching drawstring features of this shirt here .  Again I'm wearing the promotional Slide Jewelry set. Here's a referral link to also become an ambassador for discounts ...
