Just because the weather is indecisive, it doesnt mean you have to be! Deciding what to wear and what NOT to wear can be tricky when the weather is tricky. No matter what your style is you can always embrace your acessories to creat the perfect weather proof look. A summer dress paired with a cardigan can make a girlie "frock" fashion statement. Or a tailored suit jacket added to a dress can create a more conservative professional fashion statement. Dressing for the weather can be fun if you "Embrace Your Accesories".
What is considered an Accesory?
Many think of necklaces, earring, bracelets and etc. when you talk about accessories. But an accessory is anything that is worn or carried, but not part of your main clothing. Your "main clothing" may be a dress, a wife-beater with a pair of jeans, a romper or etc...Whenever you pair a cardigan, shawl, jacket,jewlery, purse or scarf with your "main clothing", you are indeed ACCESSORIZING! In my slide show you will witness first hand how I accessorize! I'm a huge thrift store shopper and everything in the slide show comes to you via La Thrift!lol
Dress
The dress is brand named Tempted. Tempted brands can be found anywhere from Sears to Macy's. It is a bargain brand that sells from anywhere to 27.99 to 39.99 in department stores. Well, I was fortunate to buy this tan, black and white oval printed shape dress for a whopping $2
bucks! Oooow! That really hit my pockets! heehee
Belt (in photo above)
The Flower belt is an accessory I picked up at one of my favorite stores francescascollections.com I paid $18 bucks for it!
Jacket
The jacket is by J.G. Hook. In 1974 a businessman named Max Raab who was fashion saavy founded J.G. Hook. J.G. Hook, in my opinion, could very well have rivaled Brooks Brother. J.G. Hook pioneered what we know today as "prep style". I found the jacket as apart of a suit.
When I picked it up, I couldnt believe my eyes! This suit was made very well! And the feel of the wool is sure to keep you warm. Needless to say, JG Hook is not as popular these days but around the 70s, early 80s, you couldve found JG Hook apperal in any high-end stores. I purchased the suit with the original tags from Macy's on it.Yep! Thats right! A brand new suit! I only paid a whopping $10 bucks for the whole suit! See why I love Vintage Shopping?!?!
