Fall is in the Air, On Campus, it's a Vintage Outfit of the Day

It's cooling down a bit and I love it! Nights are crisp, the sky is even more blue (ok, today it is gray, but. . . ), it's not muggy and gross outside - huge plus! Gorgeous fall colors,

So, moving into fall, especially if you are off to College/University, here's a great look incorporating vintage, into your wardrobe, inspiring aVintage Outfit of the Day, today!


The paisley pattern red silk vintage maxi skirt has a rich, gorgeous pattern in fall colors and contributes to a simple and classic look. This vintage late 1970's vintage skirt is fully lined and made of 100% silk.





This vintage silk skirt is one that can be worn as shown, or with a camisole in warmer weather, or even with a blazer for a classic, more professional look.

Here this vintage skirt is shown with a simple Ivory Camisole and a Victorian Choker.




This vintage early 80's sweater is a great neutral. Made of cotton with a mock turtleneck, this cream and oatmeal colored long sleeve sweater looks great with the vintage red silk paisley pattern maxi skirt.









Add a paisley scarf in complimentary colors and a pair of 80's cordovan colored vintage riding boots and you are well on your way to memorable vintage style!



Chunky Gold Tone late 70's Earrings are the finishing touch. This particular pair has been converted from clip to pierced. The chunky heavy gold style helps balance the sweater, which works beautifully with the femininity of the silk skirt and the classic style of the riding boots.



All in all, this is an outfit using vintage that can go just about anywhere. Feel free to mix and match as you choose, vintage is all about individual style!
