One of my favorite things to do is pair two unexpected things. Like this vintage crochet top and the fancy bubble skirt. Old versus new. Casual versus dressy. Dull versus shiny. Rough versus smooth.<br />
<br />
And SUMMER vs. FALL!!! It's crazy hot here, and I am ready to wear sweaters, and boots, and SCARVES!!!<br />
<br />
But I digress... the crochet top is a nod to the coming fall season, while the skirt and sandals admit it's still summer. :)<br />
<br />
I'm starting off this Labor Day weekend with going to see some art tonight.

Mixing it up here.<br />

The jeans are grunge. Straight out of the 90s complete with an American flag knee patch.<br />

The shirt is totally boho, hand painted back in the 60s.<br />

They came together in an unexpectedly chic way.<br />

This vintage vest is so amazing! It's quilted together by hand with so many pieces of vintage fabric. (Vintage fabric is one of my weaknesses!)<br />
<br />
My inclination is to go hippie with it and not wear a shirt under it. But for the sake of modesty, I chose a nude colored shirt to showcase it.<br />
<br />
I had fun with this outfit! Hope you enjoy it. :)Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05912502832045433446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216973153276274587.post-34606916363017639832013-08-26T16:04:00.000-07:002013-08-26T16:04:59.791-07:00monochrome<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>

The idea of vintage corduroy bellbottoms doesn’t lend itself to dressing up for a night out, but that’s just what I did. I paired these with a silk top and gold sandals. The monochromatic color scheme ties it all together, and a sleek low bun, earrings, and nice clutch takes it up a notch from casual to upscale casual.<br />
<br />
Did I mention corduroy and upscale in the same breath? A sartorial paradox of sorts, I suppose, but I do love how it turned out.Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05912502832045433446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216973153276274587.post-40246886410125367522013-08-23T10:35:00.000-07:002013-08-23T10:35:00.619-07:00to marketI love this vintage 40s dress!<br />

Layering was essential. I wanted to be able to shed the leggings and sweater as soon as I arrived.<br />
<br />
How do you pack for a trip? Do you lay everything out ahead of time? Or throw it all in at the last minute? <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cLdlcMtHO3I/UQwjFQ74yzI/AAAAAAAAAPc/BuKYdrXYT_A/s640/blogger-image-949447050.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-cLdlcMtHO3I/UQwjFQ74yzI/AAAAAAAAAPc/BuKYdrXYT_A/s640/blogger-image-949447050.jpg" /></a></div>Crystalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05912502832045433446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5216973153276274587.post-88869781234691412292012-08-20T10:13:00.000-07:002012-08-20T10:13:00.636-07:00back to schoolNot for me.

Vera believed that art should be accessible to everyone. That it should not just hang on walls, but permeate life. Wear it. Eat off of it. Sleep in it.<br />

It's a hundred degrees out and I'm thinking about sweaters and capes and wool? I had to shut myself in and crank up the AC.<br />

But - here's the good news for you - I need to make room for the new stuff. Which means having a sale, of course. Yay for sales!!! Now through the end of July, everything is 15% off when you use the coupon code SUMMERLOVIN.<br />
<br />
<br />
Also, coming soon to the shop: bow ties, suspenders, shoes, shoes, shoes, eyewear, and a few more items for your vintage style home.<br />
<br />
