In Praise of Separates

40's cool rayon blouse

I love a vintage dress as well as the next gal, but really when it comes down to it vintage separates are much easier to integrate into a modern wardrobe.

50's Black Beaded Vintage Sweater

A 40's nipped waist jacket looks great with pants or a skirt, can be worn in many situations and makes you look just chic as can be. Skirts and tops can be mixed and matched with modern or other vintage clothing items to give you a one of a kind look all your own.
