Guest Blogger: Down & Out Chic - what goes around, comes around

Hi, this is Christina from Down and Out Chic and I'm thrilled to be guest posting while Jill is on vacation (lucky lady!) Since we're all here, and she's there (someplace better than here), let's make the best of it, shall we? I thought I'd share my take on this season hottest trends with a throw back to the past. If you've been around for any amount of time, I'm sure you've realized that the trends you thought would NEVER come back, are consistently coming back with a new and fresh spin (yes, I'm talking to you acid wash jeans).
Let's take a peek at these vintage pieces that are surprisingly modern and currently trendy:

Plaid:

you have some fabulous stuff here! pic #1 is my favorite! and it is so funny how stuff comes and goes. i am SLOWLY learning not to get rid of stuff when it goes out of style, as chances are it will come back in style sooner or later!

That first number has my name all over it! I agree with you about vintage. I'm always kicking myself for having gotten rid of pieces when they come around again.

That last one seems very Michelle Obama-esque. I love it.
