Vintage Goes Modern

Vintage, Vintage and more Vintage.  I know everyone sees all this vintage blogs and the clothing looks a like, let's say unique.  Vintage can look modern if you pair it with some modern pieces.  Check out this great white sheer blouse I got at the thrift store.  It cost around $2.99 and I paired it with a great pair of distressed designer jeans I purchased for around $6.00.  I have a white plain stretch camy I got from Belks in NC.  I wanted to stay with a colored belt that I also got from a thrifty store for 10 cents.  The necklace says Love in faux rhinestone and I wore my favorite beige shoes from BCBG.  The point to this blog post is that you can make vintage look more modern and I think this look really looks romantic.  The sheer vintage top can get a little sexier if you let your imagination go wild.  Enjoy

LIFE AS A THRIFTYGURL

It's Christmas time and it's also very cold outside.  This Vintage coat from Peabody House NYC.  This coat has such a vibrant tangerine color.  It's sold for $20.00 at a business party I attended in Virginia.  The coat is tailored to fix your body.  Very warm and comfy.  The person that bought this coat is 50 years of age and has such a chic style.  She has such a young spirit to her as well.  As you can see from the pictures, it has some great vintage buttons that I had in my sewing kit (which by the way, I got from an estate sale)  all vintage buttons.  The coat is also lined.  I love this picture taken at a lake in Maryland.  I through a black and grey leopard scarf around it for more style.  Enjoy

My Reversible Vintage Fur (Two Looks In One)

I always talk about find great treasures at thrift store.  Well there are other amazing places to search for great find that are very low in cost.  Estate Sales.  I got this amazing reversible rabbit fur jacket at an estate sale.   The jacket was purchased for around $10.00.  Now tell me is that a still or what?????? 

As you can see from this picture.  This is the rabbit fur side.  So cozy and warm with such great style.  I love wearing this with a pair of jeans or leggings.  Yes ladies, don't believe that the legging is out.  I wear them all the time and I get so many people telling me how great I look.  Back to the fur jacket.  The jacket zips in the front and has two pockets on each side.  The top picture is a more casual look.  The tan color gives it a vintage look.  I would say that this jacket was made in the 60's.

50's Pin Up Dress

 I really appreciate this great 50"s styled pin up dress.  The dress was $7.99 at the thrifty store and I happen to have gone on the day they had 25% off day.  You do the math.  As you can see, the dress falls to the knee which is very age appropriate, but very sexy.  The lace in the back gives it a little peek a boo effect.  I wanted to give the dress more pop so I paired the dress with leopard wedges which I purchased for around $20.00 ( wedges are so comfortable, but be careful) and the dress hides all the stomach flaws that you may have.  Sexy Mama.  I want to tell you a secret about the hair.  I glued the some hair extentions in  for a longer effect.  The hair was purchased at the beauty supply store for just $9.99.  This look is amazing without breaking the bank.  This look will do great at any event.  Enjoy
