This is a great look when you want to feel empowered as well as hyper feminine. We love the buttoned up yet sensual quality found in the mix of textures. That contrast of soft supple silk against the structure of a fitted shape revealing skirt will always get your attention. For the best in leg revealing skirts you can never go wrong with a Franco Moschino skirt c. 1980s. Buttoned down or open for more pizazz you will always have a great shape, sure to be the best in show. Mix some feminine accessories with a reptile clutch, a touch of matte on your lips and an architectural shoe and you will look in control. Just remember to use your ruler sparingly, some times a bad boy is a good subject for education.
Vogue says that scuba and surf influences are riding the style curl this season. So grab this vintage Donna Karan scuba inspired zip front dress from the late 1980s and show you have command of the beach. Pair it with simple gold accessories and nude make up to play up the Robert Lee Morris sculpted gold zipper pulls that give the dress interesting detail. Grab a colorful straw beach bag and stake out your spot in the sun.
How to be comfortable and look elegantly casual for the evening is easier then you think. Just take this vintage Giorgio Armani knit halter vest and mix it with silk satin crop harem trousers and you are instantly modern. Accessorize with gold,crystal and jet to reflect just a flash of sparkle, add a dark smoky eye and a nude lip to channel your inner screen siren. Never let it be said that vintage can't also be modern.

Polka dots always a favorite design motif just make people happy. I think the modernity is in the mix, wear them where they are least expected, on lingerie peeking out of a crisp starched white blouse or as accessories with bold print polka dot jewelry or a large print on the outside small contrast dot print on the lining of a cute fabric handbag. Another choice is to go bold and mix different size polka prints together from large to tiny. Make yourself happy and wearing polka dots you will always receive smiles and who doesn't love a great smile.
