o is for outfit

i have never done an outfit post before, so here goes there is always a first time for everything!
saturday at the city bowl fashion market, i got this fabulous anchor necklace from nicci saint bruce from http://www.citykidssting.com/ she owns vamp clothing (beautiful clothes and kick ass jewelry) go check them out at shopvamp.com/
i really quiet love it, it's just too cute.
and cookie monster i found a while back, an awesome reversible hoodie.
(yes i am a hoodie connoisseur of sorts, don't know why, i just love them, maybe it's the inner gangsta in me)
i think they work together as cookie monster is like a big blue ocean that the anchor swims in.
two totally different styles mashed together, that's what i'm about :)
i'm not just a vintage lover, but a girl who loves clothes

e is for eighties style

ever wondered how the women styled up their jerseys in the 80's?
well here are a few pics of what was high fashion at the time.
i suspect we still have quiet a few cold wet days ahead of us, as we still need lots of rain for summer.
so look what they did and interpret it in your own way for those super cold wet days.
as you can see it is quiet similar to what we are wearing at the moment, which just goes to show how awesome vintage really is.
these spreads are quiet cool and done so well in their own unique way. 
i quiet love them i hope you do too
