Coco Chanel said that “Fashion fades, but style remains the same.” And if you want a wardrobe that works for the long haul, it’s important to keep this in mind. What it means is that regardless of what’s trendy or what the latest celebrity is wearing, certain pieces and looks are timeless and can be in even when they’re out. Get it?

Like today’s VPOD. Sure, booties were a hot shoe choice this past season, but even when booties are shunned by the fashion press in the near future, these vintage 1970s suede beauties by Gucci will remain classic and stylish.

So they’re a sensible choice for a vintage fashionista!

P.S. One way to protect your treasured vintage booties and heels is to carry a pair of City Slips in your handbag. These stylish ballet flats make walking cobblestone paths and city streets a whole lot easier. Plus they come in a fab little clutch that unfolds into a tote to store the shoes they’re replacing. Ingenious, right?! Try a pair yourself in my Open Sky store!
