Modernizing Your Vintage Look!

It is not enough to just go onto a website and purchase something dating back to the 50s but the aesthetic of the garment. Does it work with your body type, complexion, and your personality. Many of us buy garments because it looks amazing on a mannequin or somebody else. We then wear it and unfortunately look terrible in it. It will end up wearing us or because we don't know our body shape, it looks ill fitting on us. So I just want to offer helpful tips and items that will perfectly execute your vintage look!!!


Here is this beautiful 1960s sequins vintage jacket that looks great on any body type. From a 2 to a 22, you can absolutely pull this look off. It creates a great silhouette for you and it hides what you dont want to be seen!!!! Praise God for Jesus!!!! 😆!!! Some come with elastic (stretch material) in them that will also give a fitted look and others and lined and already structured for that size. This beautiful well kept jacket is a size 12 with some wiggle room in it. Interested in purchasing please email me at thevintageguy87@gmail.com.


I paired an incredible Alexander Wang Jersey T Shirt Dress which is priced at $103.00. I chose this dress because of the jersey knit material that flatters all body types. It lays just right on all the right places of the body. Also the cut at the neck and the finishing at the hem just adds character to the entire look. This to me is perfect piece to add to this jacket when modernizing it. Also this can be a staple and investment piece in your wardrobe. You can always add different accessories to it such as layering mutiple crystal long necklaces, leather or suede leggings, thigh high boots, a motto or tuxedo jacket, or amazing stoned out single sole heels, huge crystal necklace and earings, a fox stole, crystal handbag, and say HAPPY NEW YEAR!



Also I have fallen in love with the brand Casadei which offers some of the most amazing shoes! This incredible pumps to me solidify this entire outfit. I'm a believer to what is done on top should be done on the bottom! Check these incredible shoes out at www.casadei.com. Yes they are an expensive brand that we all can't afford but we can always google to find our price range.


The last two items are these incredible Custom Black Beaded Tassel Necklaces which are all the rage for 2016 and this novelty Mary Frances Handbag! You can either buy this necklace from specialty shoppes ranging from 30.00 to 150.00 or buy them off the street for 5.00 to 10.00! The cheaper ones won't carry the same weight but they will complete the job. This mary frances handbag spoke to me because of the green in tassel absolutely takes this look to the next level!!! Always look for a handbag that compliments your outfit but is totally different from your entire look! That adds style to your look and moves you from trends.
