Viva Vintage

By on

My first week of school was a bit rough.
As much as I was so eager to have sleepless nights spent with studying bones and muscles, I had study-less nights instead. Last school year's unfinished extracurricular duties badly haunted me--consuming even my lunchbreaks. Sometimes I wish I kept my passion for journalism to myself since Day One. But since I committed myself to this already, might as well make the most of it. :)

Phew! On a lighter note, I finally received this beautiful vintage dress from Fleet Collection!
Well, it's not totally vintage. It's vintage with a twist! 1950's fashion was about midi skirts and dresses with puffy sleeves. This dress may have cutout details at the back but I never felt so bare because its length ran down to my knees. That's why I've always adored Fleet Collection's sweet and classy dresses. Their designs are all-original and handmade, hence, you can always feel their love all the way from L.A.


I decided to stick with nude and basic shades like black and white for my accessories.
It's not difficult to style vintage pieces, really. Just think of Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe or Zooey Deschanel in New Girl and you'll get by effortlessly. You don't have to steal fake flowers from your living room like I did, though. HAHA. Promise, I just took them out for outfit post purposes. 
Kids, DO NOT TRY THIS OUTSIDE HOME.


Hype this on Lookbook.nu here and on Chictopia here!

How did your first week go?
Let's all hope for better weeks to come, yes? :D


Much love,
Mela
