Styling a vintage dress
One of my favorite perks of having this blog is being sent products to review -especially when the products are fashion!
Crazyhotclothes.com recently sent me this vintage, caramel colored dress which they named “Dynasty.” I loved the sparkly shoulder accents (very Dynasty indeed!) and thought the color would look nice with my hair highlights. Anyone who reads my blog knows I’m a fan of vintage fashions so I was psyched about the Crazy Hot Clothes giveaway. The length however needed some adjustment. The bulky shoulder, long sleeve and long length combo just looked a little too dowdy and made me feel like I walked straight out of the pages of the old testament. Don’t I look like a glammed up Jesus groupie?
No worries though ‘cuz with a little styling magic, I can transform anything! The trick to wearing vintage is to avoid wearing vintage head to toe. Mix up vintage with trendier, current pieces to create a uniquely stylish look. I searched my wardrobe and found leather cutout ankle booties, hiked up the skirt which I temporarily held up in place with a vintage belt and carried a fun chain feather purse.
Jesus groupie to rock groupie! What do you think?

Hi there, thanks for entering the contest. If you won, how would you let everyone know you received FabGab’s giveaway? And could you link back to my blog somehow?
Wow, oh wow! I would love to win this dress! The color is to die for – and I love redoing vintage dresses. I think I should win because I think I could do this dress justice, and I think it could be fun.
If I won, and blog up and down about, showing how I made it my own – and I would link back to this blog so that every one could see exactly where I got the inspiration from.
This way, my friends could be introduced to this awesome blog! 🙂
