Friends, with vintage

I follow some pretty amazing vintage-lovers on Instagram and wanted to feature them on my blog. I asked them to tag a fellow vintage-lover and I got some GREAT photo submissions. I'd like to share my top four with you. They truly are friends…with vintage, naturally. Thanks to everyone who submitted photos (I'll do this again, so keep those pics coming)! Enjoy!

Navy flares

I've really been into hats lately. No, SERIOUSLY into them. Probably because of the single digit temps in Atlanta and having no hair. I've come to love them as only my mom (the "hat lady") would (as seen here, here, and here). I'm loving this monochromatic navy look…with just a pop of color. 

Sweater: J. Crew (thrifted) (similar style here), Pants: The Limited (old, but similar here), Hat: Gifted from mom, Necklace: Old, from my collection (similar here as a watch), Watch: Michael Kors, Bracelet: Stella & Dot, Ring: Vintage, Club Monaco flagship store, Lips: MAC "Ruby Woo."
