Modern Vintage?

An oxymoron in itself.  Can you get a vintage look with a new outfit?   Easily.  I think that I've become pretty good at it myself.  It can be intimidating going outside of the box in the vintage/rockabilly community, but honestly, I don't have a lot of money to spend on the true vintage pieces that are out there and get excited when to see pieces in stores that I think will make a great vintage inspired outfit.  This is one of the newer outfits that I've invested in and can't wait to use it throughout the fall and carry it into the winter with one of my nice cardigans.  Hope you like.............

Look at the detail on the skirt.  Little items like that help to achieve a classic look.

First let me start by apologizing for the awkward photos.  My camera man has always had issues using my not so amazing Kodak so I'm never quite sure when the pictures are actually being taken;)

Here's the look for the clothing:
Top:  LC by Lauren Conrad for Kohls.  I don't know a thing about this girls acting career, but, will say that she's got some great pieces in her Kohl's collection.  I wish I had gotten better pics of the eyelets at the collar, they make this top what it is.
Skirt:  Sophie Theallet for The Limited.  These skirts have are in amazing colors that can transition into all seasons and have an extremely flattering cut.

Finishing touches include a snood and some flowers made by yours truly and a thermoset earring and necklace set.

Again, I love being able to find these pieces and show all the classy dames out there that you don't have to pay a fortune to get "the look."  I received a bunch of compliments on this outfit during my day out and can't wait to find the perfect top for the green sister skirt that I got during the buy one get one free event where I scooped these goodies up;)  I love fun finds and would love to know where you've found some of your favorite vintage inspired (or inspiring) pieces.

Enjoying my day out in Nashville and at Antique Archaeology where a staff member was nice enough to give me the "best dressed customer" award;)
