Today's Vintage Style: A Little More Rock and Roll

Some outfits aren't about matching—they're about conversation.

A buttery black vintage Coach bag paired with an artist-print graffiti tote. A watercolor dress that reminded me of the abstract prints I loved in the 90s. Strappy heels with just enough edge. Vintage fashion earrings and a chunky necklace. A little darker eye makeup to lean into the rock-and-roll mood.

I love mixing timeless pieces with unexpected ones. The Coach carries the history. The graffiti tote brings the attitude. Together they feel less polished and more lived in—which is usually where great style begins.

A few highlights:

The Coach bag is the anchor. The slouchy black leather and brass hardware have that early-2000s Coach quality, and the textured flap adds just enough interest. It looks substantial without being precious.

The graffiti tote peeking out is unexpected. It gives the whole outfit an artsy downtown energy instead of "country club Coach."

The strappy heels 1990s elevate everything. They're feminine but have enough edge that they don't become "office heels."

The watercolor dress reminds me of those abstract painterly prints that were everywhere in the 90s. It's soft enough to let the accessories do the talking.

The dark eye makeup is what pushes it toward rock-and-roll instead of beach casual.

Vintage isn’t just about dressing like another decade.

It's about borrowing your favorite parts of different times gone by and making them your own.

So today it's...

• vintage with modern pieces

• one quality leather item

• interesting jewelry

• art-inspired prints

• comfortable confidence rather than perfection

• a little Patti Smith

• a little Stevie Nicks

• a little boutique owner, even if I’m just owning the floor for a few hours
