The best thing about vintage pieces is that you’ll never walk into a room and have that God-awful moment when someone is wearing the same thing as you. Hey all you gorgeous gals, this time we are focusing on the beautiful Fashionista you see in the pictures and how she perfectly mixes vintage and modern elements in one ensemble.
A piece passed down from family members is perhaps the best vintage item because while it holds classic appeal, it also has sentimental value. The rhinestone choker necklace you see on this Fashionista is exactly that. Not only does almost anyone else in the world own that same necklace, but it is unique to the point that it will never go out of style. It’s the details that make these pieces vintage; for example, the stitching, embroidery, or the buttons, because they can’t be exactly reproduced in this day and age. Vintage items are also a great conversation starter. Who wouldn’t want that necklace grandma was wearing when she got proposed to in the ’60s? If I haven’t sold you on vintage fashion yet, I don’t know what will!
Now on to how this Fashionista expertly paired her vintage necklace with trendy patch jeans. She wanted a more relaxed look, and the jeans make it definitively casual. The jeans were an excellent choice because they show the versatility of the necklace. By itself the necklace is dressy, but with the jeans it works well with the casual tone. This is a perfect example of mixing vintage and modern pieces and ending with a stylish result!
The Fashionista also added gray booties with a suede toe and quilted heel, a neutral V-neck sweater, and a faded army-green coat with a faux fur trim hood. Choosing muted colors for the shoes, top, and coat was another excellent idea, so the focus stays on the necklace and jeans. To top everything off, she added a Fossil see-through skeleton watch with a cream-colored band, which is a sophisticated, yet trendy, choice for a watch enthusiast.
As usual, I’ll leave you with style advice to take away from this article: Vintage items are a unique addition to any outfit.
