Staple gun
An assortment of some favorite staples that I have owned for years. All of them vintage purchases on eBay - the hat, the blouse, the pants, the boots. And there's that little black dress again.

Fantastic! The tiny splash of color on your legs really sets these neutrals apart. What would be an otherwise bland pallet has become exciting and interesting! I love how the blouse layers with the dress to add to the effect.

Hey, you start at the top and it looks like Audrey Hepburn elegance, only to be tricked by the photo reveal; the bottom half is retro chic. Schizophrenic mix but it works for me!

I love everything you wear. But today, I'm especially happy that you combined things you have owned for a while. We have seen some of them before, but this combo is delightful.

Oh, how I adore the boots, the pants, the scarf, the hat...they all flow wonderfully. But I especially adore those pants! They seem to keep popping up everywhere...and they continue to make your outfits look spectacular as ever.

This is what makes fashion fun - reusing items to invent a whole new look! This is the message we need to send out to young girls... you don't need to follow the trends and spend money on the latest designer looks, you can look and feel extraordinary by being creative and showing your own personality! Confidence is the best accessory you can own!

Sarah O tagged this Harlequin Romantic
A lot of strong pieces here - but they don't compete with each other - the grey hues tempering, what could be, garish pants. Pulled off very nicely. A very unique ensemble.

Classic chic with a modern twist in the chequered leggings. I love the way you have brought hats back to everday wear, not just the beach or special occasions. It really polishes an outfit and makes it special.

In this ensable you look as if you are super uber ultra chic court jester from the 40s. However I don't believe they still had court jesters in the 40s...nor were they ever chic...hmmm. Well I dig it man.

The diamond leggings, the jabot and the slouchy boots are an awesome trifecta! The mauve is a great complement to the easy-on-the-eyes green.
