3 Vintage Styles for Less: Fall Edition





Chunky knits, head wraps, and trench coats
abounded on the Fall 2010 runways
(not to mention their presence on the Spring 2011 catwalks),
and are proof that the effort to bring back simple,
timeless pieces is still in full force.

Here are three fall essentials for less, along with their vintage counterparts.












HEAD WRAPS:
Head wraps were recently seen on Jason Wu's Spring 2011 catwalk, although it is an appropriate piece for any season. Throughout the years, the headscarf has taken numerous forms, including but not limited to silk wraps, knit bands, elaborate turbans, and bandanas

Marrakesh Turban - $78 at Urban Outfitters
Taffeta Wire Headwrap - $3.80 at Forever 21
Orange Kobato Turban - $28 at Lori's Shoes
Get spotted scarf - $49.50 at Madewell
Black turban beanie - $38 at Oak



CHUNKY CABLE KNIT SWEATERS:

Everything doesn't have to be painted on to be form fit !

Slouchy cable sweater dress - $78 at Victoria's Secret
Basic cable sweater - $70 at Modcloth
Cotton cable turtleneck - $39 at Victoria's Secret
Knitted cable boyfriend jumper - $100 at Topshop
Premium Twist Pom Pom Sweater - $69 at Asos




TRENCH COAT:

the classic trench coat was&still is a go-to piece as the weather became increasingly chilly. Men and women alike were all sporting trenches, most frequently in a camel color.

Long Button Front Trench - $49.50 at Old Navy
Lesson in Classics coat - $75 at Modcloth
Lace back trench - $112 at Asos
Double Breasted Trench Coat - $36.90 at Forever 21

10 Worst Places to Meet A Guy +my opinion

Okay so I found these&the majority I most definately agree w. I included my personal opinion, as well.


1. A hospital waiting room. A hospital waiting room is prime breeding ground for anxiety. People are anxious about tests they’re about to take, results they’re about to be given, and all the things they could be doing in the hour(s) they’re sitting there waiting for these unpleasant affairs. Anxiety is not the emotion you want in play when you make your move. -I could care less. Its the BUS STATION you should worry about. If you don't live in very busy cities and the majority of the 18+ population has a car, what can he do for you? Meet you at the bus stop, umm no! Too old for that.
In a CLINIC; where people go to get abortions?? enough said. . .&COURT; I don't know about anyone else but where I'm from, guys in court aren't usually the best catches. . .We don't want to wak up one day and our car has been stolen

2. The gym. With all those hot bodies in skimpy clothes, the gym may seem like an ideal pick-up joint, but for a lot of people, the last thing they want to deal with is someone hitting on them when they’re dripping with sweat and dying to finish their third mile on the treadmill so they can shower and get home. Your best bet is to catch your crush on her way out or use your gym connection to say “hi” if you see her “out in the wild.” -I personally don't care. If we can be sweaty together, that's a turn on. It shows me we have something in common too-exercising. Besides, a guy hollerin' at a girl in sweats and a sports bra w sloppy hair says that he either really likes you-(let's just say)-OR he just wants to hit-but I highly doubt that.

3. **A funeral. Come on, now; that’s just tacky.

4. A job interview. If you must, grab a business card and send a friendly email after the job is filled, but don’t blow your shot — at the job or a date — by making googly eyes during the interview. *very unprofessional. How is anyone going to take you seriously on the job if they think you're "easy"?

5. In the underwear section of a department store. You should probably at least have dinner together before you know what kind of underwear the other prefers. Especially, if he's shopping for female underwear. There's a humungous possibilty he's shopping for his lady friend.

6. In line for the bathroom. Look, no one feels sexy with a full bladder. Catch her on the way out when she’s had a chance to relieve herself and apply a little lip gloss. -umm, that's one I don't really care for either but I do agree w. I'm probably not going to pay attention to him if he's trying to conversate while I'm barging my way to the bathroom.

7. Your therapy appointment. You’re there to fix your problems, not make more of them. -TRUE!

8. A parent-teacher conference. There are far better ways to embarrass your kid (and yourself) than hitting on his/her teacher. Keep things professional at least ‘til the end of the school year when a potential relationship wouldn’t be a conflict of interest.

9. On a date with someone else. Even if your date is a bust and you both know it, you’ll be the cad who has no clue about social etiquette if you make a move on someone else. You can always go back after you bid your date farewell and see if your dream girl is still there.

10. At work. Office romance is an oxymoron. You may meet the love of your life at work, but keep things professional for everyone and leave the flirting for after-hours.

20 Things Couples Should Stop Doing After They Move In Together

RELATIONSHIPS.

1.Using prime closet space to hoard old letters, notebooks, sheet music from a third grade piano recital, and any other memorabilia that should be contained in a box or two in the attic, basement or storage room.

2.Buying any large item for the home without clearing it with your significant other.

3.Going to the bathroom with the door open.

4.Sleeping in separate beds.

5.Changing into your sweats as soon as you get home.

6.Hanging posters of girls in bikinis on the bedroom wall.

7.Hanging a “Kittens In Wigs” calendar on the bedroom wall.

8.Shopping at PB Teen.

9.Spending every holiday apart.

10.Leaving wet towels on the bed.

11.Planning your future like you’re the only person in it.

12.Eating beans before bed.

13.Avoiding your significant other’s family.

14.Sleeping in the same T-shirt every night for a month.

15.Spending all night on Facebook.

16.Leaving the toilet paper roll empty.

17.Being a Nazi about your TV shows and favorite movies.

18.Practicing guitar (or your instrument of choice) in the living room every evening.

19.Putting the Brita pitcher back in the fridge empty.

20.Hoping something better will come along.
