Over one month ago I came across an Instagram post of one of my favorite vintage shops, KrispyFringe Vintage, and the post stated that models were wanted. I have never actually "modeled" for a business before aside from advertising small companies through Instagram from my home. However, this was an opportunity I couldn't pass up! Within days, I shot Kim from KrispyFringe an email about my interest in modeling for their cute little Etsy shop (and soon to-be storefront)! It was a lot of fun for my first time ever modeling in the heart of Chicago. The outfits I modeled were all stunning in their own ways. I just wish I could have taken it all home haha!
The first piece I got to wear were these beautiful 1970s Gold Patterned Bell Bottom/Palazzo Pants! Their print was gorgeous (and though we had to use a clothespin to keep them fit around my tiny waist), they were very comfortable. These beauties can be dressed up for a special occasion or kept casual for work related activities, but nevertheless they ought to make a statement!
Another beautiful ensemble worth mentioning is this Vintage 1960s Two Piece Mint Green Evening Dress and Feather Trim Jacket. It seems homemade, but is constructed with very soft materials with intricate gathering details of the fabric. The floor length dress beneath the jacket has spaghetti straps and can flow around a ballroom majestically! Because of the jacket, it is perfect for outings in the midst of this harsh winter!
If you want to seem as if you just stepped off of the red carpet, this is the dress of your dreams! This Vintage Floor Length Multicolor Gold and Navy Blue Evening Gown Dress may need some ironing, but the rich colors and details of the brocade are priceless. In the shop you can find pictures of the front of the dress as well which is even more stunning!
A little bit funk and a little bit of youth can be found in this Vintage Handmade Olive Green and Yellow Gold Cowgirl Mini Skirt with Fringe and Pockets. The embroidery and fringe are adorable accents for this piece, and the shade of green fits the vibe wonderfully. Yee-Haw!
Next up, you can find a classy and sassy swing skirt. Again, with just a little ironing, this skirt can become a new staple in your closet. It is so versatile and beautiful! The Vintage 1950s Black Polka Dot Full Circle Skirt is deep black in color with a velvety print all throughout!
Some pastels and stripes can go a long way as proven by this little sweater. This Vintage 1960s Pink White and Blue Color Block Waffle Knit Sweater has such a pretty combination of flushed pinks and sky blue with a thick stripe of ivory! So comfortable, fitted, and nice for anytime of the year!
Springtime is right around the corner, and what better way to dress than wear an Audrey Hepburn-esque dress? This Vintage White and Light Pink Embroidered Cotton Floral Sun Dress has a moderate pencil feel to it and a conservative halter neckline. The fabric is extremely lightweight, and the little light pink embroidered flowers are so feminine and delicate. It is a must have for the warmer days... just imagine wearing it during a picnic... ahhhhhh.
Finally, I need to conclude with this Vintage 1980s Unisex Plaid White Tan Brown Earth Tone Sweater. It is the coziest thing I have worn in a long time... I just wish I could have taken it home with me! The colors are especially suitable to the nature lovers out there and can be styled in countless different ways-- with jeans, with leggings, with a skirt... you name it!
I'm sorry that I haven't been posting new outfit of the day posts with vintage flair. It has been so bitter cold and miserable outside. I haven't had the courage to fight the cold with cute clothes, but I hope to be dressing vintage regularly again soon! Thanks to this photo shoot, I am have plenty of fun photos to play with for the time being!
