Vintage Suede

Mixing suedes on the weekend and feeling like something out of the seventies?

Jacket: A Current Affair flea market in Brooklyn (once a year). Suede skirt: Vintage. Try Asos’s version? Wool jumper: Vintage. Loafers: Bass (40% off on site). Shades: Beacons Closet. Similar tinted aviators from Ray-Ban. Bag: Coach Shadow (on sale in all colors).

Everything in fashion comes back. I wore a patchwork suede jacket from a flea in Brooklyn with the old vintage skirt and old school Bass loafers. You saw the jacket before in this post with a black dress and the skirt has been around for a year or two now.

It was mild enough on Saturday morning to go out bare legged or in a light jacket. So I did. Of course the mildness vanished later so I regretted that move and changed (although today is supposed to be another indian summer). Asos does some good patchwork pieces or Free People for longer suede skirts. A suede Mango trench is cool for toe dippers.

Question: Suede is supposed to be ‘in’ this year but haven’t you always worn it?
