I scored this vintage DVF blouse on eBay months ago, and it arrived in the mail with a nice little bonus… HUMONGOUS 80s-style shoulder pads!  You guys know how I just love looking like a linebacker…

Yeah… not so much!

Fortunately, it wasn’t anything a seam ripper and two minutes of spare time couldn’t fix.  Once my quick alterations brought my new blouse forward a decade or two, I deemed it ready for primetime and paired it with one of my favorite earrings + necklace combos.

I’ve had this sweater for years, but I sometimes find it hard to style.  Black pants and skirts are usually out of the question (unless it’s close to Halloween), so I usually resort to jeans.  On a whim, I decided to try it with a printed skirt, and I love the way this outfit turned out.  To me, it has a sort of late-60s/early 70s vibe.  Like, couldn’t you totally see Marcia wearing this outfit?  All that’s missing is a pair of go-go boots!

Closet Confection: Dress Code

On paper, a navy blue sweater and a khaki pleated skirt don’t necessarily make for the most exciting outfit. But as I always say… chic is in the details.  A little silk flounce at the neckline, a contrasting belt, and a bit of wrist bling help take this outfit from private school uniform to sophisticated lady.
