What do you do during an ice storm in Wisconsin? Dream of Summer- its coming- its soon- I reorganized my closet and I remembered this dress. From the bountiful Denver thrift haul in November. 

the LBD gives Audrey- It gives fashion show. It gives art festival in a conference center. The simplicity makes jewelry more noticeable. you can make any accessory stand out. 

The snake earrings are from the farmers market. Take note of the No Necklace trend. easy glamour - earrings and updo- Pair with a modern retro look shoe to bring the look to date. cape and other accessories optional.

I'm getting on those rocks this is going to be perfect. look at the sky right now. 

Both corset tops and bell bottoms- 1970s mixed with 90s vibes- the biggest sleeves I've ever worn- Christina Aguilera low rise with ties. these pants attract a lot of attention.

This cute dress is Banana Republic, for less than $10. I added a belt of my own because the sash belts that come with most items are not all that. 

Beyond the literal treasure of finding nice brands for a good price. A trade secret is todo a bit color research before even entering the store. If your arent sure which colors are in season, ask your favorite search engine, or look up couture runway shows. In most thrift stores everything is arranged by color- Good finds start to stand out, like cashmere, wool, linen. Personally I am always drawn to bright jewel tones regardless of season, layering with neutrals creates a polished silhouette that doesn't look too busy. 

The only thing not thrifted in this fit is the boots and the bucket hat. Don't be afraid of bold colors or accessorizing. This jumper/ romper is on my Poshmark right now and it's so cute- because it is all about how you style it.

I strive to create examples of using today's trends to express personal style. The menswear androgyny look is in season for fall 2022. Here I pair a corduroy men's blazer with and oversized belt to style the jacket as a cropped trench coat. We like to try styling items in unlikely ways, I love to do something slightly unexpected. An outfit with different textures together in the same color family. matching the vintage coat with today's current denim trend. Midrise Flare jeans? I never thought I'd see a day without skinny jeans. 

Here flare jeans are styled with a black cropped tee and white leather puma sneakers for a daytime look that feels fun and carefree. This fit emulates the minimalist 1990s style and can be accessorized for fall with different jackets and sweaters. Even though it's the beginning of fall, we don't have to put our cropped tops away yet. 

Styled here with an oversized pink leopard open cardigan. Bright pink is having a pop of color moment. We are bound to see it appear in accessories, leather goods, and even as the main flavors of an outfit this fall. It showed up on several international runways, and in NYC for Fall 2022. Be as bold and you feel with it- its more important you feel comfortable, and if you want to command attention and drench yourself... do you girl. Because it is a color that demands attention. We saw it with yellow and shades of Ochre over the last 4-5 years. Now the color trends shift again.

I love the chunky oversized feel of this men's blazer. Here paired with a belt to accentuate the waist and use the coat to wrap up a bit more tightly. Preparing for less mild weather. Now styling it open with sleeve rolled up, unbuttoned is a totally different vibe. The item itself is "Winsor by Lee" all the pockets, original lining are intact and it is otherwise in stellar condition. 

Find this Corduroy Blazer shown here on my eBay Store along with lots of other vintage and gently worn finds.
