GO VINTAGE! CHECK MOMMY....

I love vintage clothing! which explains sometimes why my mother can't keep me out of her closet looking for some of her old clothes lol...Vintage clothing can be quite pricey so what better place to check than your mother's closet and guys you can do the same with your fathers.

I don't know if your mother had them, but I remember those bright colored silk shirts from the 80's yo....lol I remember thinking they were crazy! but imagine pairing it over a sexy outfit like the one above. Shopnastygal.com has a vintage section( http://www.shopnastygal.com/categories/vintage/ )where I found this pop art cardigan, using one of your mother's silk shirts will also do the trick! or if she had a cardigan like this one with bright abstract designs. You can also tie the shirt or tuck it in high waisted jeans, pair with pumps and a chunky gold chain!

Lavintage.com has great vintage inspired pieces, and remember vintage can be something from your lifetime so you might not have to go as far back as your parent's closet...Simple things like a 'Jamaica me crazy' tee that you probably got on one of those north coast trips when you were younger or any other tee or top that you had that's reminiscent of a certain era and still fits lol, cut that! make it a cropped tee,off the shoulder or cut off the sleeves to give a muscle tee look, pair with a high waist mini,denim shorts or with a blazer, load on accessories and its like new!

If you don't wanna go full blown vintage, one vintage inspired piece in your ensemble with a more trendy piece can go a far way.

I love this 80's style jacket from lavintage.com for $118...

Remember that year you laughed at mommy for wearing that oversized colorful sweater, go back in her closet, apologise and get creative. Always pair an oversized top with a tighter bottom, fashion rule. Jazz up the once frumpy sweater with some liquid leggings or skinny jeans with hot wedges or jumps.

If you digged and digged and digged...or dug, whichever, and still couldn't find any of these items, check her accessories! Clip on earrings are vintage and every mommy has them, or if she had some shades and bags from back in the 70's or 80's, add a touch of vintage with your look that way.

Oversized bows are also a great look from the 60's that works today. Do up a high messy bun and throw on that headband and step out proud! You're a vintage fashionista!
