We interrupt regular programming about vintage pins for several reasons - namely to be timely as this is the last post I'll do with my OLD haircut, having just gotten a sassy shorter do that's a bit of a cure-all for the winter blahs I've been having of late.
In a way the theme is the same as the pin posts: how to incorporate a vintage piece of bling into my wardrobe that I haven't had much luck incorporating!
I'm not kidding: I've worn this vintage Art Deco style glass necklace stamped "Regina" (about which I can find no information) once. And that was with a tee, and it didn't look too great, trust me.
I thought the green stripe in this (new but designed locally in Toronto) jacket matched the necklace exactly - it brings out the necklace without being overly matchy-matchy.
The piece is glamorous, but obviously pairing it with a glam outfit isn't going to give it much mileage. I like the idea of wearing it with every day clothing.
Love the necklace, but that blazer!!! To die for. : )
ReplyDeleteThat blazer is too cute! It fits you perfectly.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is quite the colour. I do like the way it pops with your outfit in muted tones.
ReplyDeleteThanks Kris, I love it too - I really really have to love it to buy it new! It's made by a Toronto designer that just opened a new shop so that's also a bonus in my books to have it made locally - and I just fell in love with the detailing: the buttons, the velvet trim on the pockets; the gather at the shoulder ....
ReplyDeleteThanks The Bohemienne - it is truly my fave 'new' buy ever -- and rare that I buy new!
ReplyDeleteSix Balloons, I really dig the colour too -- except it is touch to match....
ReplyDeleteMeant to say tough to match!!
