How to go vintage without looking frumpy......

Happy Saturday girls! Any one that knows me knows I love vintage clothes, the 60's is my favorite era, I love that ladies looked like ladies. How do you get this look with out it looking frumpy, that is the key. The best way is to base your look on one thing, it could be the hair,
makeup,
accessory, shoes or clothes
. What ever piece you decide on made sure it is in tack. Next you want to make sure your fit is right,, an ill fitting dress or top or what ever can kill your look before you even leave the house, so please put on a belt if needed. Finally, if you don't own the look, you might as well not do it, I know I say this all the time but honestly it shows all over you. No matter which era is you favorite, when shopping for vintage pieces inspect each item, try it on before you buy, be honest with yourself on if you will even wear it or fix it if it is damaged. Have fun with it, there is nothing more awesome then having a story about a killer piece.
Enjoy your weekend ladies, love you, mean it..... Always your girl JeniqueK

Hot Trend: Statement Tees

I love a statement tees it is a chance to support a cause, make an actual statement, or get a reaction. There are 4 main styles of a statement tees, political, self image, charity and vintage. With the upcoming elections there are tons of political issues that we deal with on a daily basis, it is cool to say what you really want to say and be stylish. A political tee allows you that freedom.
A self image tee reflect you physically and mentally. Being who yourself is better when you have a shirt to soften that statement it makes it more powerful.
Charity tees allows your to support a cause financially and envoke conversation, just be prepared to talk about your cause.
Last but never least, my favorite the vintage tee, the beauty about this tee is that it can take you back to a time in life with words or a symbol. Some of have old souls and the right tee can reflect that.
When wearing these tees, remember to add your personal style or signature to complete your look. What is the point of making a statement that isn't you. Happy Friday! Always your girl JeniqueK
