Kelly: Olive is one of my favorite pseudo-neutrals. Pseudo-neutrals are colors that can stand in for neutrals in any outfit, adding more visual interest.  Khaki, black, and white are expected and do no favors for the skin tone. It’s more interesting to use olive, burgundy, camel, nude, or rust.

Nicole: If this skirt were black it would be soo boring! This is a work outfit.  On Wednesdays I host.  I don’t get paid as much, but the fact that I can wear whatever I want makes up for it!  This week I wore a vintage pleated skirt with sheer, flower printed blouse.  

K: I shortened this skirt by 12 inches. While I love it, I wonder if I would love it more longer. Thoughts?

N: When I wear full skirts and knits to work, the other host calls them  “Jane Eyre outfits.”

N:  Ms. Friday Bethany gave me these gorgeous vintage earrings as a going away present!  Thanks, Armor Bijoux! Also, look at the adorable embroidery on the collar of my cardi.

K: Vintage Middle-Eastern jewelry goes with EVERYTHING.

N: Vintage clothing has such great details.  Pleats for days, buttons, and an interesting waist-line.  Woven belt ties it all together.

N: Purple tights and purple boots to go with my purple cardigan.  These boots are Born, and were a prezie from my lovely Mama a couple birthdays ago.

N: My skirt, sweater and belt were all purchased second hand.  The shirt is an Urban Outfitters brand, but I actually found it in a free backpack…shh, don’t judge me.

K: A free backpack that someone left at the yoga studio. Okay, now judge her.

K: Same color skirt, totally different silhouette: vintage tie-waist jacket and olive pencil skirt.

K: Bethany Walter, our Friday contributor, found this union-made 70s polyester jacket at a thrift store for $4.00. I love the 70s. I swear clothes from that decade fit me better than any other. Runner up: 90s. I love the colors and pattern. It reminds me of linoleum.

N: Clothes from the 50’s definitely fit my figure best, with the 90’s being my second as well.  Who doesn’t love a good crop top?

K: I almost gave these department store shoes away in September, because I didn’t wear them all summer. They just felt too heavy with all of my girly, hippie summer frocks. But then I discovered them with socks. Socks have the power to make or break an outfit, and these chunky platforms with chunky socks make the perfect fall-outfit anchor.

K: I wear this wool wrap my grandmother made almost everyday. It is as warm as a winter coat and can wrap three times around my head in case of freak blizzard.

All clothing was purchased second-hand or rescued from the yoga studio.
