Recessionista Sundays: February 22, 2009

good morning, Collecther! we started off the day right with good company, great vintage...

and, of course, Krista and Lauren enjoyed MIMOSAS!

In House Style w/ Shana Jackson

in addition to being a purveyor of Brooklyn's best vintage finds, Collecther owner Shana Jackson also serves as her customer's personal stylist.

there's a common misconception about vintage - that it's only for size zeros. NOT SO! here, Shana schools new collecther Lauren to try on a few new pieces.

if you have curves, this dress is for you. if you don't have curves, this dress will give you some! Shana paired the dress with a red clutch for some pop. 

polka-dot a-line day dress:

original price $42

recessionista price $25

red clutch with bow $28

a little belt gives great shape to this baby striped cardigan.

original price $26

recessionista price $19

to appreciate this dress, the hair must be pulled away from the face and we need hoops or chandelier earrings.

Simone is more than satisfied with her casual top knot. her mimosa makes the perfect accessory. 

Jill Stuart butter yellow ruffle dress

Neyomi's here! it's always great to see her.

Neyomi has curves and it shows. we agreed adding a wider belt would really add definition.

when you shop vintage, you have to have a vision. this slip dress is a great example. sometimes you like a piece, but don't know what to do with it.

Shana's vision is URBAN COUNTRY - cotton slip dress, cropped denim jacket, wide belt and add a Western boot.
