I have a thing for vintage shopping. Well, that's clearly not a surprise. But I particularly love styling vintage pieces in a way that's modern and even on trend. Why? Because sometimes vintage gets such a bad rap for being equated with outdated. But it's super easy to style clothes that are decades old in a way that's current.A few years ago I rocked these high waisted vintage pants with an edgy vibe and now, I'm doing the same with a suit. You might remember this from a few weeks ago when I showed you seven ways to style a single vintage suit. That was a short and sweet video, but today I'm breaking down the actual process to create one look in particular.How to Style Vintage with a Modern Twist

I've had a colorful vintage suit on my thrift wish list for a while and my prayers were answered during a thrift shopping trip to Goodwill last month. Well, they were kinda sorta answered. I had a vision for a colorful vintage suit: a citrus or coral color with a structured jacket and wide leg trousers. That's the image I had in my head.However, the suit I found look a liiiiiitle bit different. It was a mixture of bright colors, had massive shoulder pads, and the skirt was an awkward length.But you know what, for $7, I bought it anyway and styled it seven different ways.How to Style a Vintage Suit in Flattering Ways

Most of us put some effort into what we wear on a daily basis. I mean, we’re heading out to work, running errands or meeting with friends or loved ones. So you wanna look your best and rep your style, right?Something interesting has started happening to me. Over the past few months, I’ve been focused on what I wear to bed. Yes, bed. I even have a bottom drawer in my dresser that’s solely devoted to loungewear and the first few hangers on my clothing rack are for displaying vintage robes.At first I felt a little silly, but then I realized we all need a feel-good night time routine and for me, that involves wearing what makes me feel great and relaxed.
