When we talk
transitional, we're talking cardigans, skirts, boots, and lightweight knits. We're also talking pieces that make your outfit pop. Throw on all of the above and cinch them with something exciting, like this
Elaborate Vintage 1980s Woven Cord Belt With Gold Medallion Detail ($44).

This
Vintage Feather Headband Hat ($35) may look a wee strange, but strange is the name of the fashion game lately. Feathers are still going strong —
just ask Rihanna — but it's such a novel, expensive adornment. Wearing this feather topper will certainly set you apart from the crowd.

I recently had a long day of wine tasting in
Napa Valley, got home around 7 p.m., and had to get ready to go back out again. As fun as a social life is, it can be exhausting and challenging.
Challenging, in the closet arena.

With Fall, the return of the classic pump will come. And just in the nick of time; I was about to resell a pair of black patent Manolo Mary Jane wannabees — what was I thinking?? Black pumps are a Winter necessity, and these
Vintage Stuart Weitzman crystal trim heels, size 8 ($99) have an added flair, ahem, crystal trim, and a fair heel, three inches, for the vintage epicure.

Never, ever, rid yourself of a denim skirt. It's a classic. OK, maybe you can toss it if it's acid wash, but still, you never know.

Do you consider yourself festive? Does wearing an emblem of Summer around your neck count as festive? Whichever way you slice it, this sweet
Vintage Monet Shell Necklace With Snake Chain ($125) may not be cheap, but it's one-of-a-kind and subtly festive.

A neutral belt is a key accessory. A neutral belt with a piercing, gold Fabtastic clasp is a treasure. I admit I was hesitant in sharing this
Arrowhead buckle snakeskin belt, size S/M ($45) with you.

I have flashbacks to outfits in the
Sex and the City movie. Not that that's a bad thing, it's just slightly odd, no? Anywho, I stumbled across this
1960's Black Silk Polka Dot Puff Dress, size small/medium ($169) and thought it was one of those dresses that could be funked up a la Carrie or prissed up for Charlotte.

Shorts had some really good years during the '70s. The Fab fave decade also bared a lot of skin. One of my mottos is if you've got it, and
many of you have got the gams, flaunt them.

Before you excuse this
1980s Missoni Dress ($95) for being too frumpy, hear me out. The thing about vintage is though it is oft one of a kind, it is also oft of another era. Read: old fashioned hemlines.
