Inspired



(Pants-Zara; Pumps- Boutique 9; Blouse-Kate Hill, Lord & Taylor;Cuff Bracelet-Pink Accessories Store, NYC; Blazer-Thrifted; Earrings-Ebay; Scarves-Thrifted)

One of my favorite celebs is Solange Knowles. I think that all around she has great style, along with an awesome personality! In regards to her style, I love her knack for mixing prints & colors, and just making everything look so cool & effortless. So I decided to take a little style inspiration from her and put together a work appropriate outfit!
Enjoy!

In the Jungle

(Dress- Thrifted; Earrings- Ebay; Belt- Strawberry; Bangles- Forever 21; Pumps-Boutique 9; Lipstick-CoverGirl Queen Collection)

As an avid thrifter (or better yet addictive thrifter), I have many thrifted pieces of clothing that seem to get lost in my closet just like the item above. I bought this dress awhile ago and never got around to wearing it until a couple of my friends and I decided to have a "Totally 80's" theme day.
 I could have easily have went the route of brights, or neon colors, but I decided to think outside of the box, and go with what a working woman (hopefully in the fashion industry) would have worn. I'm sure someone out there wore this dress back in the 80's and if not, at least I would have worn it (with my collar popped, shoulder pads & red lipstick!)
 Enjoy!

Welcome and Enjoy!

Welcome to My Vintage Luv Jones!
Many of my friends know that I'm a lover of fashion especially vintage and thrift store finds. There's something about finding that one of a kind item that will make you stand out in the crowd. I live for the times when you leave your local Salvation Army with a bag full of clothes that only cost $20-$30 dollars (I am a serious budget shopper)! So, I decided to start this blog to share my love of these precious finds with other fashion lovers; show you how to style vintage and thrift store pieces with items from your current closet (since I am a Wardrobe Stylist & Image Consultant); and let you in on some of my fave stores...amongst many other fashionable topics!!!!
