Go Retro!

Hello, and thanks for stopping by my blog

This week I am really feeling the retro vibes!

How about you?

Has your wardrobe picked up any retro or Y2K influenced pieces this season?

I love to wear my vintage and retro accessories, and you see them frequently on the blog

This week, I thought I would style a new piece, that has a very retro look,

and a true vintage piece that is currently trending

 

First, an outfit featuring a new topper influenced

by both the 1960's and the Y2K trend

It has a psychedelic swirling print, complete with daisies-flower power! 

Also, it is a shirt dress style with ruching down the front

two style elements so indicative of Y2K tops and dresses

What goes around comes around, and back around again!

I kept the background of this outfit simple in summery white,

with a white tank top and white denim jeans

Carrying my 1960's white wicker bag,

also with a wildly printed colorful lining!

I chose a mix of new and vintage jewelry, 

with my summer favorite Betsey Johnson half daisy earrings with pave rhinestone centers,

and a 1950's vintage aqua expansion bracelet 

The scarf in my hair is current, 

but is printed with the cutest fashion girls in 1950's outfits

White braided band sandals to finish this time traveling mix of an outfit! 

For my second look this week, 

I chose a dress that I wore earlier this summer

in a post about the square neckline trend

Today, the dress is layered under a true vintage 1980's light wash cropped denim vest-

it was a great find at a vintage shop several years ago

This little pouch cross body bag is also true vintage, from the 1960's,

I use it a lot in the summer when I only have a few things to carry

Accessorizing with a light blue and white lace print scarf in my hair,

silver tone textured hoop earrings, and a squiggle design hinged bracelet 

White lace tennis shoes to finish the look

I ordered these lace sneakers from Amazon back in April

They showed up four weeks later so they missed a good part of the season

I think they are cute, and a decent fit-ordering shoes on line is always risky

 I have only worn them a few times this summer

Since they are sheer lace, and very clean and white,

they are those shoes in my closet that I hesitate to wear, for fear of ruining them

Anyone else have any this kind of item in their closet?

It will be fun to unpack them and see them again next spring 

This decorative garden rock was painted by one of the middle school girls

selling them at our neighborhood yard sale

So cute-I think it has a retro vibe to it to go with the theme of this post! 

Hope everyone enjoys their week!
