I’m always on the hunt for a treasure trove — I mean who isn’t? When you’re a die-hard vintage fashion fiend like myself, you’ve seen it all; the good, the bad, and yes — the ugly. I have a lot of experience digging on my hands and knees through piles of dusty clothes, so I know when I’ve spotted gold. Just to be clear, there was no need for me to rummage through the carefully curated racks of the perfectly polished vintage clothes at The Fine Art of Design. The owners have impeccable taste and because of that I was able to score some seriously special pieces, including this blouse. My favorite thing to do with vintage is to make it feel present and styling my new top with my favorite shorts and denim jacket was exactly what was needed to make it feel new again.
