no rules boho grunge chic

vintage hand painted shirt - estate sale
vintage flag patch jeans - yard sale
mossimo sandals - target
embroidered clutch - borrowed from my daughter

Mixing it up here.

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

The shirt is totally boho, hand painted back in the 60s.

They came together in an unexpectedly chic way.

It's vintage style, people. There are no rules. ;)

pieced together

vintage quilted vest - yard sale
nude top - ...not sure
blanco jean skirt - thrifted
matisse boots - thrifted

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!)

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.

I had fun with this outfit! Hope you enjoy it. :)

silk gap blouse - thrifted

vintage corduroy bellbottoms - estate sale
gold montego bay sandals - thrifted
black and white chevron clutch - white house black market 

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.

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.

to market

I love this vintage 40s dress!

keeping it up

I’ve never worn jodhpurs (equestrian riding pants) before. This is my first go at it, and I think it worked!
