Featured: Back in Style [Part 1]

For the next 2 days I will be featuring a fun online vintage store called Back in Style. It was too long to put into one post. Today I am posting a Dress for Less look featuring items from the store and tomorrow I will be posting 3 looks I created with pieces they sent me.

Rather than explaining the store myself here's what they have to say about themselves: At Back In Style.com you'll find a carefully selected collection of women's and men's vintage & designer clothing and accessories, and one of the largest vintage Emilio Pucci collections in the world! This vintage boutique offers unique clothing as current as this season and as vintage as the 1940 's because we believe the best way to wear retro couture is to modernize your look by blending it with the contemporary pieces. 

For this look the 1970s jacket is the key piece so I kept everything else very basic. This whole outfit is under $150 (actually, it's exactly $135)
Blazer $65
Michael Stars Tee $10
Gold Sign Jeans $50
Heels $10
TOTAL: $135

    That print 70s jacket is delicious! In fact I've just been writing about favourite prints. This would definitely make my list.

    That jacket reminds me of something Paul Smith would do. Lovely selection you got here and we wait for your styling job in the coming days.

    Ohhh. I love vintage stores! Maybe shopping vintage should have been my first sign that I would go in the museum, archives field. Haha.
