Fall Vintage Preppy.......

Well I can’t believe that it has been a week since I last posted!!!! I guess the time just slipped away from me.  It really doesn’t seem as if I had all the much going on but I guess I did…….lol

Today I decided to go a bit casual with my outfit.  I want to go thrifting but needed something easy to move around in yet still wanted a cute look.  I went with all thrifted stuff ……..I call it my “preppy” look.

I wore a DVF  ( Diane Von Furstenberg)  camp shirt that I thrifted sometime last year with a pair of high waist stripped pants and off white new buck loafers and a denim jacket that was not thrifted but is wayyyyy old.………..so comfy yet still stylish.  Looking simple can still be stylish…………so ladies when you are just running around town shopping or doing errands………..ditch the sweats and opt for a more put together yet easy outfit like this one.  Hope everyone is enjoying their week!!

Flashback!!!!

 When I saw this dress it took me back 20 years to the 90s.  I had sooo manyof these dresses back then.  It was the early 90s and the floral dress with a denim jacket or vest was the thing to wear........I loved the long maxi dresses to cover my for thin at that time body......I think I had one in every color and every type of floral print. So when I saw it I had to pick it up..........I decided against being totally retro......and choose not to add a vest or jacket .....Instead I added a wide belt to give my waist more definition and leather wedges.  It is simple but cute and comfy......

Below is a photo of one of the actually dresses that I owned in 94......ignore how tiny I was ...even after having 3 kids........or where my hand is on my hubby's behind........lol.......

I have added the dress to the shop so it is up for grabs. 

Enjoy.........

Vintage 80s.........

I am so loving reliving some of these 80s beauties.  Since I am of the 80s era it is really kind of cool to be able to rework these dresses to give them a modern feel.  I love being able to reuse clothing and make them current.  I mostly add modern accessories to the look and tweak a few things and I have a look that works.  As the weather cools down I will add a cardigan to be able to wear into the fall months.
