Vintage costume jewelry

Jeans Banana Republic - White button shirt Gina Tricot

Bright blue pointy vintage heels Charles Jourdan, similar - Black tote bag Furla

Gold tone and blue stone vintage necklace - Vintage scarf Oscar de la Renta

In the past I have fallen for trending costume jewelry. A few years ago it was the "bubble necklace", then "flower cloister statement necklace", "teardrop" or the "chunky pearls". I fell for them all, in fact most of them still live in my necklace trays.  Some of them have lost color and of course are not on trend, yet I do hold on to them. Maybe because I am a collector or maybe just a hoarder. Maybe I will wait until 20 years pass and they turn vintage... 
In the meantime I am always happy to add more vintage accessories to my collection, specially if they are free, like this beautiful unmarked vintage necklace from an aunt's closet edit. 

Where are you when in comes to a costume jewelry?

Electric

Black turtle neck sweater Calvin Klein, similar under 5.00 USD - Black trousers

                 

Black tote Furla - Vintage gold tone necklace with blue stone

 

Printed vintage scarf Oscar de la Renta, similar - Blue heels Charles Jourdan, almost identical

Electric, that is all that comes to mind when I look at these shoes. They are bright, fun and quite comfortable if I may say, which is quite odd when it comes to describing pointy heels. 

Today I paired the electric blue heels with the trim of the vintage Oscar de la Renta scarf and the blue stone on the vintage necklace, all on a black canvas.  I can see me doing this recipe over and over. 

Castaways

Black tote bag Furla, here on super sale

As I drove to work this morning I realized that almost all I was wearing were someone else's castaways. 

The grid blazer is from last year, it came into my closet directly from my cousin's closet after she had a Marie Kondo moment. The yellow blouse is from a month or so ago, a friend's closet edit. The trousers are also from a friend's closet edit, this one is from about 8 years ago. 

Do you get clothes or accessories from friends' closets'?
