It's rare that I'm surprised. And it's also rare that I shop online for clothing.
Vintage clothing can get a bad rap. While I appreciate a garment that's 20+ years old, I totally get that some people think the pieces are outdated, tattered and hard to wear without looking costume-y.

Here's how I styled a few vintage clothes in a fun, even edgy way.
I love color, that's pretty evident by my typically bright outfits. But sometimes I like to tone it down. However, neutral doesn't have to equal boring.

Here's why I suggest shopping the jewelry case and accessories first!
