I usually don’t like mixing vintage and modern looks, so this outfit was a little out of my comfort zone.  The shirt printed with weathered keys, vintage sewing machine necklace, and actual jewelry of my grandmother’s?  All very much my normal style.  But throw in a pair of metallic gold tassel flats (still available here from Forever 21), and that is a whole new me!

And on a different meaning of old + new, this whole fashion blogging thing has got me pushing more and more every day (ok not every day– a girl is entitled to a couple lazy ones!) to be adventurous with my wardrobe and see what new outfits I can create out of older pieces.  It’s actually getting embarrassing for me to open my closet and see how much I don’t ever put to good use…

So here’s to creating fun and inspiring new fashions out of older belongings.  With the exception of a few indulgences every now and then 🙂
