QUESTION:
Dear Cynthia,
I'm looking for tips on mixing vintage accessories and jewelry with today's fashions.
ANSWER:
How I admire you daring young gals for your bold fashion choices!
Of course, Miss Cynthia wouldn't dream of leaving the house dressed in anything other than the latest look from a 1955 Vogue. Yet, I can understand how one might want to "mix it up" a bit.
The
best way to add just the right touch of vintage glamour to even the
most modern of outfits? A brooch! It elevates everything from blue
jeans to a party dress. Vintage brooches are a delightfully versatile
fashion accessory. They can adorn anything from your shoulder, waist,
coat, hat or pocketbook. A vintage brooch in a sleek modern style is always spot on, like this one from the Etsy shop PoppyLesti
Gold Swirl Brooch
A rhinestone brooch adds a pop of color to even the drabbest duds.
This lovely Vintage Butterfly Pin is perfect. You can see and other vintage goodies at KarensChicNShabby
Celebrate every season with a charming holiday brooch:
Bunny Rabbit Pin with green rhinestones from MrsRshop
Need another wonderful way to show the world you're in the fashion know without compromising your vintage sensibilities? Select a vintage brooch that reflects the hottest fashion color of the moment. The 2014 Pantone Color of the Year is Radiant Orchid.
This Lisner Pink & Fuchsia Brooch brooch from mamiezvintage is perfect.

Cynthia, Delightfully wonderful read! I truly believe your column will be a hit and your words inspiring to those up and coming fashionistas! I had no idea (no idea there was such a thing?) "Radiant Orchid" is the 2014 color of the year. Cool read!
Cynthia, I just bought this beautiful 1940's vanity in it's original state, I wish I could send you pictures, anyhow, I'm wondering if I should sand and refinish to this shabby chic I've read about or leave it as such? I know it must be hard without seeing the piece, but please share with me your thoughts.
Thank you for your kind words! I'll be sure to pass them along to Cynthia!
Fabulous question, Anonymous! Please keep your eye on future columns for Cynthia's response.
Cynthia, I am loving your column and look forward to more advice.
