Top Rated Vintage: Wear and Why

WEAR: The Chanel-esque Mini Dress

WHY: I love how the conservative feel of this dress is met with a sky-high hemline, so no tailor is needed to bring this classic design up to date. 



WEAR: The Lumpy Stripey Dude Sweater

WHY: Throw this on with a pair of Chucks and jeggings (yes, I said jeggings), pick up some Chinese food, and start a marathon of whatever new series just debuted on Netflix.  Everyone needs a lazy day sweater.  Why not this one?

WEAR: The Circle Sequin Top

WHY: You don't need a night out on the town to rock this little number.  Pair it with some black skinny jeans and flats on a day when you're feeling  particularly sassy.

WEAR: Nineties Ditsy Floral Dress + Classic Denim Jacket

WHY: I have so many 90s dresses and denim jackets in just about every shade imaginable, because all I need to do is pair them with tights and ankle boots for a casual look that's effortlessly cool.

WEAR: 70s Cutout Suede Cape

WHY: Hands down, this cape is one of the most gorgeous pieces I've seen come through Retrospect in the three years I've been working here.  From the precise geometric designs in the contrasting layers of suede to the thick strands of long fringe, this cape is a work of art.  I want the person who gets this beauty to be as in love with it as I am!

WEAR: Vintage Nicole Miller Floral Dress

WHY: I don't necessarily flip over Nicole Miller's more current collections, but the vintage Nicole Miller pieces I've come across have always been pretty awesome.  The dark violet and grey hues of this dress make for a great winter floral pattern, and how cool is the shoulder detail?!

Let the Fur Fly

As quintessential as the little black dress, every girl should have a fur coat in her closet!  And what better way to add fur to your wardrobe than to buy it second hand? 

Check out our ever-growing collection of furs, starting at just $48 and up for faux and $78-98 for the real deal.

Inspiration From Our Buyer

The buying car broke down on Tuesday afternoon while I was on my way to one of my favorite Goodwill stores. As I was sitting on the highway for two hours waiting for the tow truck, it gave me some time to think about what I should be on the look out for on my next buying trip. I came up with a small list of items that I think every girl should own in their fall/winter wardrobe. Here are some of the items that popped into my head:

1. Fur Hats: Always a classic cool weather accessory.
2. Capes: Plaids, solids, hooded, fur trimmed; I'm in love with them all!
3. Equestrian: A neutral color riding coat or a pair of soft chocolate
leather gloves are a must for the fall.
4. Motorcycle Boots, Leather Jacket, and a Flannel Shirt:
Wear together or separate to give your outfit a bit of an edge.
