Outfit Details:
Vintage jacket and blazer (love this one and this one), Custom made faux patent leather skirt (similar and super affordable here), Vintage hat (this one is cool), Manolo Blahnik heels (last seen at the Boston State House, similar here)
I like the contrast of mixing edgy and feminine pieces. To me sequins are girly and leather is tough. When it came to styling this vintage sequin blazer, I knew I wanted to edge it up a bit. And what’s better for doing that than with a faux patent leather mini skirt? This one I had made for me based on a sketch, but you can find similar options here and here. The high-waisted skirt or pant silhouette paired with a roomier top is one of my favorites because it is easy to wear, a.k.a. super flattering. I do like to wear leather (especially if it is vintage) and am currently loving adding a little patent leather into the mix.
To finish off the look, I grabbed my patent silver stilettos and a cool velvet baker boy hat, which is stiff competition for my best vintage find ever. Since it is still winter, I am wearing fishnet tights to keep my legs somewhat warm.
