A Day in Vintage

Sporting a little vintage on the blog today. Since starting the store and going full time with the business, I’ve had to become more and more intentional about avoiding the inventory, especially on the vintage side. Thankfully the team is there to do quality check, leaving me to do the pulls for any editorial shoots and e-commerce shoots.

However, on this day I couldn’t resist the urge to play dress up…which unsurprisingly turned into shopping. Against my better judgment, I took this beautiful vintage lookout for a spin, and boy am I glad I did. Initially, my eyes were drawn to the boldness of the houndstooth plaid pants. But the beautiful burnt orange color of the vest and trousers were tugging at my heartstrings as well.

I paired the set with an aqua oversized shirt (which actually has matching pants as well), and slid into my white mules creating the perfect complete 70s look.

I hope you guys liked this look. If wearing head to toe vintage isn’t something you’re comfortable with; each of these pieces could be worn as separates just to add texture and uniqueness to wardrobe basics. Also, feel free to shoot me a note if you are interested in any of our vintage/thrifted items.

Paulette's Closet "No Looking Back" Fashion Show

You guys I have been doing the unexpected - modeling.  Well now that I think about it being having been a style blogger for nearly 5 years, and having my pictures taken daily and posted on this platform is a lot like being a model.  I don't know why I always place so much emphasis on not being a model, but this was such a fun experience that I will definitely do this again.  I mean, life is about living limitless, right?!?

Toward the end of the year I was asked by my dear friend, Amanda, to model in her fashion show.  She is the proud proprietress of Paulette's Closet, a vintage boutique located in Edge Alley, all of these wonderful pieces can be found in store.  So do me a big favor and stop by and play dress, I guarantee you won't leave empty handed.
