One of the biggest challenges, I think at last, about wearing vintage, is how to wear it so you don't look dated/like a granny. As the Sassy Gay Friend says, "Honey, it an't vintage if you've been wearing it since it came out." Now this skirt has a vintage pattern and color palate, its cut is definitely longer that most skirts you see today. I think I pulled it off wearing a more youthful top and fun pumps and the enormous feather pin also draws the eye up. That being said I like the skirts retro feel, and love the colors especially for the winter and fall. It probably wasn't a cheap skirt when it was first made, and it wears well, it just takes a little creativity to make it shine rather than get sucked into a time warp. Either way it felt right for our family pre-Thanksgiving Thanksgiving soiree to celebrate the real harvest.
