Tres Bien Ensemble: Modern Vintage

Modern Vintage

The goods:
• buttondown shirt from Gap
• cardigan from J.Crew
• pants from Forever21
• suede slingbacks from Nine West
• vintage necklaces
• vintage men's watch
• silver cuff from Nine West

I'm all for affordable, trendy accessories, but my favorite pieces come from times past. Vintage costume baubles are some of the most versatile pieces ... classic when worn alone, or piled on for a more updated look. Simple strands of beads like these are readily available at flea markets and vintage shops, combine a bunch for an instant statement necklace.

I totally agree! As I love the past decades anyways, I do love vintage of course, too! Great look. Love the bright yellow pumps the most... xx Nini

Très Bien Ensemble (tray bee-en on-som) is French for "put together very well". I see this as a multi-faceted term, relating to decorating my surroundings, pulling together a pretty party, and of course, my daily duds. I will occasionally feature items in round ups or my own outfits that may produce a small commission if purchased through my blog. I only feature brands or items that I honestly use, love, or want. The same goes for accepting products, I will always stay true to my style and turn away items that I wouldn't normally purchase. I can't very well go against my design aesthetic, that would not be très bien.
