Gold & Black

September 17, 2012

A little black and a little gold. The perfect compliment to a simplistic outfit.  I am always one for not over doing things. I never care to layer on 50 bracelets and 20 necklaces, just because the other girls are doing it.

Simplicity is a give and take.

This outfit is a good example of how to mix vintage with the new, and not look dated.

The trick is to look retro but right on target.  Don’t do too much, you want to keep people guessing–not whispering: “Look at that Goodwill girl!”

I’m wearing:

Blouse: The Curvy Elle Shop (FOR SALE!)

Leggings: Hue

Shoes: Vintage

Cross Body Bag: Michael Kors

Cuff: Vintage / Originally my Grandmother’s

Necklace: Vintage / Originally my Dad’s

Gold Nail Polish: Julep
