December 29***VFG Fashion Parade***Make it a Resolution!

[Coutureallure]

Make it a New Year's resolution to add vintage to your wardrobe in 2009! Classic looks that work just as well today as they did then.

 

[vivavintageclothing]

Here are a few of the classics available from vivavintageclothing.com.

Two "preppy" items:
A hounds tooth wool knit skirt by Peck and Peck that will look fantastic with boots.

And an aqua cashmere cardigan

Two dresses, in classic styles you could still find today (only better, since they're vintage! ;)):

A black jersey dress by Sarah Ripault with cinched waist and fringe

And another Peck and Peck item, this blue, green and black brocade empire waist cocktail dress.

Lastly, a warm weather sundress that Audrey Hepburn would have loved to wear, with lattice weave and ribbon detailing. A flattering design that will never go out of style!
