OOTD:Oh So Retro!



This lovely, vintage, cardigan-like blazer was sent from the awesome, online thrift shop, DivaXpress (Atlanta, GA)! Talesha, the owner, shops for all of  the unique, vintage, & sometimes beautifully eccentric pieces listed and then posts them to the site. Residing in Atlanta, GA, she visits local consignment shops, thrift stores, and department stores to stock DivaXpress. How convenient is it to go thrifting, without leaving the house or having to sift through the junk to get to the goodies? VERY :)




Plus sizes and regular sizes are offered, keep in mind though, most vintage finds run a size or two bigger, I was able to manage with a regular sized piece. On the site, you'll find a plethora of vivid, vibrant blazers, dresses, culottes (long shorts), skirts, bags, blouses, jumpers, and sweaters ... but if you see something you adore, don't stall. Items sell very quickly.




The blazer i'm wearing is the Caron White/ Colorful blazer, size 14. Of course there was only one and I have it, lol, but there is an extended amount of items possessing a similar color scheme/ pattern at the online store. The material is very soft, thin, and flowy which allows me to wear it during the FL summer weather (80-90 degrees daily). It has a single, huge, black, glossy button that I can utilize easily, the sizing is efficient. The design is a mixture of puzzle piece/ stained glass like shapes with a very bright, 90's color scheme. Perfect! It is all white at the back and has a white collar, border, and sleeves. This feature allows the pattern to be not so overwhelming. I paired it with all black, to showcase the blazer alone, and neon pumps. Details below.
