ADELE SIMPSON - Celadon Diamante Button Silk & Wool Cocktail Sheath

What makes our style modern? It is a constant question on our quest for just the right mix that makes us standout without being laughed out. We believe in always injecting the unusual into an expected concept. Take this vintage Adele Simpson cocktail sheath from the 1960's. A traditional period evening look without a doubt. Yet mix in a blend of metal chains, mother of pearl and last but not least a healthy dose of Lucite and instantly you have created WOW instead of WHY. Add a splash of signature scent, a smudged eye and lightly glossed lip and you are not only modern but possibly fashion forward. We always say why follow when you can lead!

FROCKOLOGY Style Tip:

We love Lucite especially with evening wear because it instantly says iconoclast and we love nothing better then to challenge the established. Modern fashion will always look toward new concepts while internalizing the best of the past. So always strive to wear your vintage with a twist of the modern, its like a whisper of dry in a sparkling Martini.

DONALD BROOKS - Bold Graphic Print Belted Silk Dress

When it's hot outside and you still need to look like a professional, what's a girl to do? It is best to keep it light and comfortable yet crisp and defined, sounds like a contradiction, but if you think about it a bit you realize its a perfect match. Take this vintage 1960's graphic print silk Donald Brooks, it will keep you light an comfortable due to the sleeveless cut and structured woven silk as well as crisp and defined because of the sharp graphic print. We call that a win/win in the world of biz. To keep it modern mix an ankle strap platform and a structured bucket bag with a graphic splash of color on the nails and a light shadow on the eye with a bold lip. A great look for comfortably taking over the world!

FROCKOLOGY Style Tip:

When wearing a bold graphic print it is always best to keep your accessories bold as well. Keep the print on the down low when working with accessories mixed with a graphic print. Keep it close to solid with a pop of strong color which will immediately makes it as graphic as the print. Mix it or match it but keep it strong and above all enjoy it.
