I adore accessories. I love how the right mix can easily transform even the most basic items - which is crucial when working with a parred down wardrobe. While you can certainly find excellent, cheap accessories at mass chains, my favorite accessories are always vintage. Whether its a vintage belt, bag, brooch or earrings, they instantly add an unexpected and often times refined touch to any look. Plus, vintage treasures are easier than ever to come by thanks to Etsy, eBay and local flea markets.
For this look, I wanted to bring out the green in my J. Crew skirt so I pinned one of my favorite vintage brooches to my classic cashmere sweater. To complete the look and keep it from feeling too formal, I topped it off with a vintage Dooney & Bourke belt, Ferragamo boots and Dooney & Bourke purse.
