Sequins and Sea Breezes: A Bit Vintage

A Bit Vintage

8/26/2014

There is something about a good vintage outfit that just makes you feel a bit classier than usual. I found this dress years ago in a vintage consignment shop and I fell in love with it. It felt so 60's mod but still classic and timeless. Not to mention it is SO fun to dance in! I don't wear it often because I'm petrified of ruining it but every time I put it on I always remember how much I love it. 


Nothing goes better with vintage than more vintage of course! I added a pop of color with this vintage clutch which I borrowed from a friend, who also did my hair for me. Can we just stop and talk about how much I LOVE this braid?! I was totally on board to chop off my hair until she did this and now I just don't know if I can bring myself to cut it. If I could learn how to do this to my own hair I'm pretty sure there's no way I'd cut it but I have a feeling I'll go back to my annoyed feeling with my hair shortly. 

She also suggested I "toughen up" this vintage look by throwing on my studded sandals instead of going for a more classic heel which I ended up loving of course! I never noticed until now but I even love how my nails match the clutch (totally not planned). I topped off the entire look with a pair of cat eye sunglasses, keeping with the retro vibe. Do you have any vintage pieces you just can't live without?
