out of the past

vintage enamel bird * mod thermoset * lucite confetti

one of the most repeated fashion no-no's is if you wore a trend the first time around . . . well, it may be a good idea to sit out the style sequel (ahem, the polite way of stating that "[insert trend] part II" may no longer be age appropriate). no doubt there are others out there who share my amusement that 80's style has returned with a vengeance: leggings - check. deconstructed denim mini skirts - check. leggings under mini - check, check.

if you really want to go all in 80's style, it may be time to graduate your look and mix in a little vintage bling à la 80's icon molly ringwald in pretty in pink (hold the scary diy prom dress, please).

skip the dusty thrift shops and simply click over to the etsy shop of miss cece's jewels which is stocked with all the retro flair required to add just the right eclectic touch to those brand new recreations stuffed in your
closet. the mysterious proprietor scouts secret shopping nooks around maui and culls vintage costume gems from bygone eras to help you go from mad men saucy secretary to mtv pop tart in a snap.

the price tags on miss cece's finds are gentle on the wallet and, of course, buying vintage is always tops when it comes to doing sustainable style right.
