A Touch of Royal Blue.

{dress: vintage c/o: RileyBella123; jacket: vintage Pendleton; pins: vintage; tights: Target; pumps: Colin Stuart for VS; bag: vintage; sunnies: HoH1960 (black version: HERE & tortoise version HERE); belt & bracelet: vintage; watch: Michael Kors}

In an effort to keep warm, and dress up this new vintage dress, I decided to wear my fave Pendleton jacket in a bright red hue with a bright pop of royal blue in my tights. The sunnies give it a modern, but still retro feel. One thing I love to do is cover a bag or jacket in vintage pins. It really gives it a different look, and I always get tons of compliments when I wear it like this. Although the blue tights are a little 'out-there,' bright colors are contagious right now and these tights have been sitting in my closet for awhile... why not give them some love? Beats the same old black tights, don't you think??

I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend! We had some chilly temps, and looks like they might be sticking around a little.

Brooch love.

Last Friday I hit up a Goodwill and found these awesome cropped trousers [which had been on my wish list for sometime now] and this lovely floral short-sleeved/bolero-esque jacket. I have been so inspired by the JCREW 2010 Fall Lookbook, that I had to re-create the multi-brooch look myself. Luckily, I've been collecting vintage brooches for awhile...so my idea easily came into fruition.
