S T R E E T S M A R T : Unisex Army Shirts




One of my favorite vintage staples is the classic army green shirts and field jackets from the 1940s to the 1990s. It may be the drab olive green color or the rugged worn-in look, but these shirts and jackets always give off a casual vibe. More importantly, these shirts always make an otherwise boring outfit have a unique, vintage feel. Pair it with a head to toe neutral look and your set to go!

S T R E E T S M A R T : print jumpsuits

Tropical Jumpsuit

Depending on your style, a print jumpsuit can be overwhelming or your go to for an easy outfit. I personally like them because of the convenience, but also because they can be surprisingly versatile.

I recently found this tropical jumpsuit and I can't get over the cheesy (but equally amazing) print. It looks great with neutrals (like a trench or camel coat) but also looks great on its own for the summer time.

I also recently came across this kilim print romper. The print is a perfect balance crazy and subtle - lots of details in the print, but the color combo makes it subtle.

White Pleated Skirt

Leather Bucket Bag // Turquoise Pendant Necklace // Turquoise Bracelet // White Maxi Skirt

 I recently came across this 1970's white pleated maxi skirt, and since acquiring it I have noticed how versatile it is. It's so beautiful on its own but simple enough to go with just about anything. 
You can find the skirt in the shop here!

S E A R C H I N G F O R: The Poncho (Get Covered for Fall)


The weather is cooling down (at least in most places on the northern hemisphere), and I am so looking forward to winter. But, one thing about winter that I always seem to forget is how unmotivated I am to look remotely good. If it's cold outside, then that means it's cold in my house, which ultimately means that I go straight from my bed to the warmest clothes I have as quickly as possible, which usually consists of pants, a pair of boots and a coat. It's boring every time, and by the end of the season I want to burn my coat, never to see it again. I want to mix it up, but with what?? Solution: the poncho/cape.

If you don't get why you would wear a poncho, then you've never worn one before. A poncho embodies all the things you need in the winter. 
Cold? It keeps you nice and warm. 
Feeling lazy? Just put on some skinny jeans and some boots and throw that poncho right on top.  
Bloated after than holiday meal? Don't worry, the poncho conveniently covers that food baby. 
What's not to love
The best part is, a poncho is essentially a blanket. And don't tell me that you've never sat in bed on a cold winters day wishing that you could wear your comforter to work....because now you can!

But if you are still skeptical, here are some examples of poncho chic ladies...











 Recently, I came across a large collection of ponchos and capes, and each one has it's own unique personality. Who knew a poncho could say so much. Lots of ponchos have been listed up on the shop already, but there are a few more to come. Here's a preview:
