Class of 1965

Thursday, August 11th, 2011

Only a few more week or even days until school starts again!  If you’ve already taken a US or World History course, you’ve probably learned that history is cyclical. It happens once, then it happens again and again. The same is true with fashion. Trends from one decade are out the next, only to be back in style a few years later. As the resurgence of the 80s craze dies down, the fun and fabulous 60s are upon us once again.  In fact, stores like Peacocks have recently launched entire vintage-inspired collections featuring 60s fashion.

Besides the bright colors and interesting shapes, one of the best things about 60s fashion is the fact that it is more appropriate for class and less likely to break your school’s dress code.  Thick straps and high necklines will cover up any naughty bra straps, long shirts will hide your stomach, and low hemlines will be more likely to pass the fingertip test.  I know, it can be a pain dressing around your school’s dress code, but these 60s fashions make it fun!

 

 




Effie’s Heart

Monday, August 1st, 2011

I’ve made another fabulous boutique find to share with you ladies! Effie’s Heart is full of unique, vintage inspired clothing and accessories for those days when you really want to stand out. We all love Forever 21, but it’s so annoying when you see five other people wearing the same top as you.

Thank goodness for indie designs like these!

Trend Alert: Boyfriend Letterman Cardigans

Friday, July 22nd, 2011

It is time to come to terms with the fact that it is Back to School season. Every store and website you visit is plastered with it! This is the first year I am not going back to school. (Remember, I finally graduated in May.) But that doesn’t mean I can’t partake in the shopping excitement!

One of the trends that caught my eye was the vintage inspired boyfriend letterman cardigan. These cardigans are a little more fun than a plain boyfriend sweater, don’t you think?
