It may be because I found an old album of my grandmother in the 40’s (as seen in Friday’s “vintage Andi” post) that I was totally inspired by the fashion from that era. I would wear just about everything I saw on her including, to my surprise, a cute outfit with a high waisted skirt and cropped top, similar to what I’m wearing here.
I’m not going to lie, but I’ve been apprehensive to rock the midriff baring trend this summer—but then I saw my hottie grandmother do it with class back in the day, so I was sold.
STYLIST TIP: When pulling inspiration in your own look from decades past, make sure to mix up your vintage piece with some items that are current or other eras—otherwise you could look like you’re wearing a costume! While my shoes, sunnies, and skirt all had nods to the 40’s here, they’re all fresh and especially when paired with some chunky jewelry.

Great suggestions! Makes me wish I’d not been so thorough cleaning out my closet way-back-when…will have to take another whirl through the attic and see what I can come up with to mix with my etc… jewelry pieces.
