I can’t tell you how many women still think “vintage” means “old lady clothes.” As if there weren’t any hip, happening women in the 30s or 40s or 50s or 60s! As if only dull, boring designers existed until these gals were born in the 70s or 80s. As If!
Well, today’s fashionistas know that the secret to being hip, happening dressers is to adapt looks to suit their personality. Take today’s VPOD as an example.
This 1960s camel wool coat is quite classic and conservative with a demure mink collar. The original owner in the 60s probably wore it with gloves, a hat, and kitten heels. But today’s fashionista twists it up with some knee-high stockings, a rockin’ pair of boots and a bevy of bangle bracelets.
And that turns it into a hip, happening find for a vintage fashionista!
Available at Bustown Modern.

Forget the coat….I want the lace up boots.
Come to think of it I had those same boots way back in the day….
