Vintage Black

Playing Dress Up - Take 5

If you are a long time reader of the blog, then you remember previous times I've played dress up.  New followers can check the "labels" section for this feature.

I can buy a piece, in this case the jacket, and in my head envision an entire outfit around it.  I was at my desk at work and thought of this look, so once I got home I pulled the pieces and here you have it.  


A vintage beaded jacket has been on my wish list for quite a while.  We found a store called Retro City Fashions in the Mission neighborhood while doing a search for vintage stores in San Francisco.  They weigh the clothes and charge accordingly, this one was $17.


The leather vintage bag is a recent purchase from the Renegade Craft Fair held last weekend in Chicago.  I stopped by the Lagelle booth and got this.  Check out her Etsy shop for handmade accessories and vintage goods, very nice and talented woman.



I'm wearing my new suede platform pumps, I just love these babies.
