Beaded collar, black dress – ohhh my, the classiness :))))

Yes, I know, it's almost winter and I keep on posting these late summer - early fall outfits, but I did take the photos already  (some of them in stress conditions as people were starring and stuff like that:)))) and I’ll be damn if I’m not going to show them to you, willing or not. Also it has really been summer in Romania until like a month ago.

And no, I wasn’t going to a costume party dressed as Audrey Hepburn as many of you might think, It’s just I’m so f*****g classy I can’t help it, I just throw something on and I end up looking like that!:)))))))))))))))) It’s a blessing and a curse!

Actually the intent of this get up was something in the lines of a “formal”-ish day to night outfit as I had an event at work and then I had to go out and didn’t have any time to go change, so I just told myself that for the night I could just take off the jacket and belt and ta-daaa, I was ready. Brilliant right?!
I ended up being slightly overdressed even with the neon flats and colorful bracelets. Wasn’t the first time either! :))))))

Don’t you just love my white collar that I’m wearing as a necklace? I just don’t seem to be able to do things the normal way!:))))

Stripes, ruffles and dragons:)

Wearing a full skirt dress with puff out sleeves and a corset type bodice might not be something you think to wear at work, but I did. I my defense it was my birthday. I’m not insane, I wore this last month when the weather was pretty warm still, hence the ruffled metallic sandals I braved the day with.

I also have to admit I use any excuse to wear my more outrageous vintage dresses. Any major and minor holiday is a good day for overdressing; sometimes just being Monday is enough. Lots of jewelry are also sacrificed every time I feel like impersonating some blue blood lady – I’m nothing if not committed. :))))).

The only concession I made to fall was the short trench jacket that I wore over the stripped dress, I feel it gives the outfit a modern feel, not that I’m particularly preoccupied with looking all that trendy. Sometimes you just have to look as if you mastered teleportation!:)


The dragon ring is yet another proof of my sister’s obsession with dragons and anything fantasy (aka "A song of Ice and Fire")  related, she’s literally haunting for mythological animal jewelry and I couldn’t be happier.

Polka dots with a little edge

How about a perfect outfit for a Sunday or any day as a matter of fact? I sometimes like to imagine what I would wear if I had no financial restrictions and access to all the clothes in the world.

Today it would be these: an ultra feminine blue polka dots dress with a red belt and a very modern leather jacket over it. The bag and shoes would have to be color block pieces - I prefer color blocking in accessories, it's soo much more effective! A huge necklace wouldn't hurt either! :)

Silver heels and water lilies

I can’t believe I was actually going to sell this skirt, in fact I had it in my online vintage shop for a couple of months. Thank God nobody bought it because I would have regretted it; it’s so cute with the water lilies print and shape and fits me really well. I don’t know what I was thinking even considering parting with it!!! Oh well, let’s put it on temporary lost of judgement. It happens to me sometimes.

The lace blouse I’m wearing is actually a mini dress that I can’t wear as a dress because it’s way too short. Story of my life!!! It does make an adorable top though; it’s all about the back bows.

The lovely statement necklace I have on it's one of my favorites. Yeah, I feel the weirdest attraction towards mirrored lens sunglasses also known as the douchebag sunglasses. It’s like the attraction you sometimes feel towards bad boys or cakes, you know they are bad for you but it feels so right. :))))). And they go so well with my badass silver heels.

Vantage Point Vintage

I’m very excited to introduce to all of you our new sponsor - Vantage Point Vintage - an online vintage clothing boutique that’s all about great vintage and great community.
Jenny and her husband Josh who run this little creative business were kind enough to offer a 10% off coupon to our readers for any purchase from the Vantage Point Vintage store by using this code: fashionandpopculturemagic

They are also currently offering free shipping&handling worldwide which is, I think, a great added bonus.

I’m a big fan of vintage and retro clothing; more than half of my wardrobe is in fact vintage (you've probably noticed) so I was pretty stocked to check out their stuff. All I can say I wasn’t disappointed; Vantage Point Vintage has a great variety of garments and styles. Here are some of the highlights for me:






Which ones do you like? Are you a vintage lover?
