Retro.

Vintage shopping was a bit of a hobby of mine about five plus years ago. I remember going to some of the quaintest resale boutiques and treasure hunting. I have found so many great retro pieces, jewelry, handbags, dresses, pants, jumpsuits and the list truly goes on, but some things I have kept and somethings I have ended up donating because it no longer suited me. It truly is part of the cycle of my wardrobe, and has been interesting to see what I have actually kept through the years.

The necklace and leather envelope clutch that I am wearing are retro pieces that I keep in the archives of my wardrobe. I have had them for well over five years. And they have been so fun to accessorize with every so often, they are also just on target to add a bit of seventies punch to my fall/winter wardrobe.

Apple of my eye.

I seem to always have that one thing every year or season that captivates my attention more than anything else in my wardrobe, this year its this leather jacket. Floating in my head are about a million different ways for me to wear it and trust me I plan on putting it on so much that I will distress this leather myself.

After stalking websites and swooning over all different styles for about six months I battled with myself about biting the bullet and getting another leather jacket, needless to say I lost the battle ( or won... whichever way you'd like to view it).

While in NYC for my birthday last month I scored this jewel at the Zara on Broadway St., as far as my wardrobe pieces this jacket is the current "apple of my eye".

Fall-a-delic

Well, it seems as though I can keep a paisley printed frock in my closet for eternity. It never truly goes out of style and when it does it boomerangs right back in a few years later. Seventies inspired fashion must include a little paisley for me and paired with a wide brim hat, monochromatic tights and suede booties just makes me feel like fall.

My dress is from TJ Maxx, hat: boutique (Germany), tights: H&M, booties: Bcbg, bag: Louis Vuitton, watch: Michael Kors, bracelets: Forema boutique. Below I have linked some similar pieces.

Rock no.5

The "oldie but goodies".... Chanel inspired blazer and a concert t-shirt, to me just seems right. My natural draw is find things that aren't fussy, classic, yet slightly forward, and just things that I really like.

I found this blazer a couple years ago, I've worn it several times and never exactly the same (although this way I will probably wear on repeat) I would actually like to find a bone colored one just like it. The brand of my blazer is Express. My t-shirt is from Target I purchased recently and it was on clearance. ( I found great similar pieces linked down below)

Grey.

I am definitely apart of "who cares if its after Labor Day... Im wearing white" team. I'm pretty sure that tradition started getting ignored decades ago. Black and white are shades I wear consistently, and being a Florida resident a white trouser always feels appropriate.

This grey bomber jacket is one of my favorites. I picked it up at Wilson's Leather a couple years ago and in the cooler months I have enjoyed pairing it with different outfits. ( crop top: F21 Pants: Marshall's Shoes: BCBG Bag and Watch: Michael Kors) Direct links below to find similar items.
