This is how you wear a pencil skirt!

Kerri Burton is rocking a beauty vintage silk pencil skirt with a fantastic vintage stretch belt. Pair with an impact shoe, like a big platform and a simple top with little accessories. Finding an industrial landscape always add street cred to an outfit too...

How to Rock the Sequined Jacket-Gaudy but Glorious!


Big vintage trend this year is the Sequined Jacket. Yes, those beauty 80's vintage jackets with the shoulder pads are all the rage. Gaudy but Glorious! But people love the look but never know how to wear them-so MC is here to show you!

First off, pair with a long , loose top. In the photo above we used a vintage tee (perfectly destroyed too) but I think a great scoop neck, loose and long tank would work great as well. Now, always wear with one of two things on bottom: Skinny dark wash jeans or skinny light wash torn up jeans. For footwear opt for a heavy sandal with a good chunk heel for going out! You can also do the flat oxfords if teeter when you walk in heels.

Volia, now you can rock the sequined jacket!

Until next time Fashion Kittens!
