A Little Vintage, a Little Modern
Tuesday, November 27, 2018
If you're a lover of vintage like I am, you've probably been to your fair share of thrift shops and have seen at least a few floral printed button-down blouses. It's almost like a right-of-passage. You know, the ones that you've seen your grandmother or great aunts wear to family gatherings? I usually pass by those floral prints and comb through the racks in search of fun bold patterns. However, during my last vintage shopping trip, I was compelled to purchase this multi-colored floral blouse.
It's almost a no-brainer to style tops like this with high-waisted mom jeans or a vintage pair of pre-loved Calvin Kleins, but I wanted to challenge myself to style this colorful blouse in an unexpected way. I mixed patterns and textures in this outfit, but I tried to keep the color scheme cohesive.
I chose to pair the blouse with a matching deep burgundy patent leather skirt and I selected a couple of emerald green accessories. Emerald may seem like an unexpected choice, but I thought it would meld well with the rest of the jewel tone hues.
As for the textures, I love the way the lacquered surface of the skirt contrasted with the matte slinkiness of the top. I then chose to accessorize with faux crocodile embossed purse and faux snakeskin heels. For jewelry, I wore emerald snake earrings and a couple of gold rings, and last, but not least, I wore my brown tortoise Balmain sunglasses.
So, there ya have it! It's a mix of modern and vintage, and I am living for it. If you're an avid thrifter, be sure to let me know in the comments below where you love to hunt for treasures! As always, I am sending you lots of love from my heart to yours!
