Vintage T-shirts
It’s been a few years since these babies were the spotlight, but they’re back in full force. Pull your favorite band tees from the back of the closet, and pair them with dressy skirts or even that aforementioned Colonial blazer for a Sgt. Pepper vibe.

Crossbody Purses
Smaller shoulder bags began resurfacing a few seasons ago, and now the pared-down style has officially trumped oversize totes. Wear yours high on your hip for a modern spin.

Gold Ankle Booties

Dresses Over Jeans
Now that denim fits are more relaxed, so is the styling. Hence why we’ve seen a number of fashionable ladies doubling down on their proportions. An oversize shirt dress + straight-leg jeans = an outfit we’d wear every single day.
