Tres Bien Ensemble: Homage to Mid Century

Homage to Mid Century

The goods:
• tshirt from Nordstrom
• vintage jacket from Salvation Army
• dark denim from Forever21
• pumps from Aldo
• vintage earrings from rummage sale
• vintage clutch from McShane's Exchange
• bangle from Coach

As my own tribute to the mavens of Mad Men, I'm adding a modern spin to a few vintage finds. I'm donning this vintage swing jacket that I scored at Salvation Army for $3, and throwing in some accessories inspired by Betty and Joan, like these clip-on baubles and a sleek portfolio clutch. Pairing these items with skinny jeans and a clean ponytail keeps the look current instead of costume. I'm looking forward to pulling more inspiration (and getting my Don Draper fix!) during Sunday's premiere!

The color combination here is amazing! And the swing coat is very fun.

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.
