Inspiring Outfits | Our Weekly Favorites

Love that vintage capes and fur collared coats are back in style in a big way! I also noticed certain colors are trending at the moment, particularly moss green and baked pumpkin. (Mmm... pumpkin, I can't wait for pumpkin pie!)

Teal tights, fur collared coat, floral dress, and gorgeous braided red hair, need we say more?


The perfect mix of pretty, drama, and chic for a night at the Opera.


This lovely lass is our hero. Those stockings, the heels, the 1940s suit, and a terrificly fabulous chapeau!


Sweet and simple, the girl next door in the most adorable way.


Florals on florals? Of course, we'll take a second helping actually!

This Week's "Top Vintage Gal" from the "She Wears Vintage" Flickr Group

I can't deny my love for pretty floral prints and muted tones. And, let's not leave out a vintage satchel, an absolute necessity for one that wants to achieve granny chic. But this is cute granny chic, what shall we label this style? It's a mix of youthful and girly but kind of granny too. But can granny and youth be in the same sentence (aside from the one I just wrote, HAHA, clever me!)

She Wears Vintage: Penelope Nightengale

Well, Penelope might be my long lost twin when it comes to vintage clothing and collecting. (Sorry, that's a tad creepy to say...) But, I must note that I own the same bunny mask (I was the "White Rabbit" for Halloween last year) and I too own hat boxes and that same traveling case (although mine is caramel colored). Hmmm... and the vintage pictures pinned up with clothespin, why, I've got the very same motif above my desk!

Anyhow, without further ado...

She Wears Vintage

So...my chorus has a talent show we like to call "Coffee House" where everyone gets dressed up, eats dessert and sings for each other. I was REALLY looking for an excuse to buy this dress. :-)

She Wears Vintage: Cats and Flowers

I love the mix-match patterns and especially love how she's worn her hair!



She Said:
skirt: vintage '50s via Ebay
tee: thrifted
sandals: thrift (remixed)
satchel: vintage '70s, thrifted (remixed)
watch: my grandfather's

I don't know if you can see it very well, but I'm actually wearing two novelty prints at one time! First I thought it wouldn't work, but I decided to go for it. It was quite a fun combination: the tee has little umbrellas printed on it and the skirt has little rabbits and turtles, like in that story! Or this Animal Collective video.

I wore this at the visit to the Mucsarnok Kunsthalle in Budapest.

Vintage Chanel + Shelli Segal in the Casual

I meant to post this yesterday right after I had lunch with my friend, Kimmy, but then I got back and had to take care of some work things and then realized I ran out of packing tape and had to jet off and get some from Staples (btw did you know packing tape is NOT cheap?) Then I realized I had nothing for dinner, so I had to run back out to Publix... so I got busy and forgot about it.

Anyhow, without further ado...


Dress: Vintage Shelli Segal
Bag: Vintage Chanel
Hat: Vintage 1960s
Belt: Thrifted
Shoes: Dolve Vita

She Wears Vintage: Winter Wang

I officially have a style crush.

Today's 'She Wears Vintage' fashion inspiration is the lovely Winter, a 23 year old from China who has a penchant for dressing with casual whimsy adding touches of vintage charm here and there.

I love that she photographs herself amidst a delightful clutter of shoes, books, old records, and a very vintage looking speaker.



I really, really must be a bit more adventurous when it comes to dressing.

She Wears Vintage: Jessica

I always admire a girl who can pull off an adorable haircut such as Jessica from PigeonsLookSillyWhenTheyWalk. Even more so, I admire a girl who wears little hats and bowties as it is not often I see on the streets milling about girls with cute haircuts and little hats.

Perhaps I am living in the wrong city? The girls in London seem to be rather keen on wearing hats and hair barrettes, and I so wish it were more the norm around here!

But enough prattle... some vintage outfit inspirations from Jessica.

She Wears Vintage: Nabila

Such a cutie! I love when you can really tell someone has their own style and they rock it, and they smile in their pictures and don't look like they're trying to take themselves too seriously when it comes to fashion.
