Skirt Suits: The Newest Way to Work Vintage Fashion into your Work Wardrobe

Howdy Blush Gang,

Welcome to February – the perfect month to hit your favorite vintage fashion store and stock up on some unique finds to anchor your closet this Spring.  Remember that January was resolution time and for a lot of people that meant going through their closets and cleaning everything out. This is great news as their has-beens are destined to be your new style -defining pieces!

Now, a lot of people think that vintage stores are just for Halloween costumes or bold party dresses. But I think that they offer a wealth of unique options for the office! Currently my fave way to spice up my work wardrobe are Skirt Suits. With the popularity of Mad Men, you’re probably a little more open to this suggestion than you might have been in the past, but if you’re still hesitant let me assure you that suits do not have to be stodgy looking. While they can look a tad too prim and proper when worn together, a skirt and jacket can offer a wealth of looks when you wear them separately.

Here’s a quick demo:

Look 1) Simply pair the jacket with jeans and some cute accessories and you have a really sharp (but not too formal) look.

Look 2) Don’t forget about the skirt! All you need to do is throw on a brightly colored sweater and you’re good to go for an important meeting day at work. Add a scarf if you want to jazz it up a bit more.

As you can see both looks are pulled together enough for the office, but communicate a fun love of fashion. What better way to spend your M-F?

Got any predictions for surprise vintage trends this spring? Do share in the comments!
