i’m so proud of myself, dear readers. for the first time ever, i bought vintage!

okay, so it’s not *technically* vintage…it’s consignment. but whatever…it’s previously owned, and i’m in love. i’m notorious for striking out at resale shops of all varieties, but i definitely made up for it this time. i scored this beauty from sisley for a measly 49 bucks, people! i’ve been hunting something faux fur for the season, since it’s the trend to end all trends this fall. but really, fur (especially faux) is oh so hard to pull off successfully, unless you’re kate moss. but i think this sheared faux is the perfect low-key fur for my preppy style. i can hardly wait to pair it with skinny jeans and a sweet riding boot (more on that tomorrow).

(speaking of amazing consignment, a little tip for my portland readers: when i nabbed my faux at seams to fit in NW, i dropped off a few pretty amazing pieces of my own for sale, including a divine full-length burberry cashmere coat, and some killer boots. they’re definitely worth checking out!)

I love it! I have been looking into a little vintage myself. Along the lines of lounge wear. I think I’m ready to start being a crazy old lady & wear a caftan around the house. I’ll try to keep it more in the style of Jackie O than Mrs. Roper. Unfortunately this de la Renta is probably not in my budget

ooh, the caftan is tricky! you might think about starting with an indian kurta – it’s a little shorter and has a bit of shape. or even a tory burch tunic or something like that? http://www.shopstyle.com/browse?fts=tory+burch+tunic#
