A week in polks dots- #2

You can never go wrong when it comes to black & white polka dots! Paired with a vibrant solid color, these bright blue 1950s cigarette pants just happen to be another favorite of mine! Dress them up with a collection of elegant pearls in Coco style and your out the door! This what I call casual chic...

Channeling my inner seventies Gypsy!

Sometimes I get bored with myself and need to take a shopping trip in my closet to experiment with different looks and inspiration from other things, be it eras in fashion or my particular mood on that day....I like to be a chameleon! I also like when I find cool things that I forgot I had, even though I bought the pieces at one point, cause they were originally cool and drew attention to my eye...

So here is how I felt yesterday.....


Wardrobe:

leopard headscarf: thrifted
1970s black lace top: desert vintage
reproduction 1970s denim high waist trousers: old navy {a few years back}
black wedges: buffalo exchange

Jewelry:

black 1920s jet beads: my grandmother's
black & gold bangles: f21
gold hoop earrings: my mother's


I pulled out some more of my late 1960s-70s stuff, and may feel in fact, like I want to watch this channel all week, so look out for some more fashion post with this inspiration in mind....

Diane Von Furstenberg would be proud!
