Flashback Friday

Re-creating vintage looks can be tough, especially men's wear! The key to re-creating is to not take the past outfit too literally.  You may see a really cool vintage outfit but sometimes they just don't work for the present.  Let's look at this outfit of The Fresh Prince himself, great outfit right? Maybe for a guy? No! Girls can rock it too, and here is how:
See how he has the over sized button down, keep that piece but wear it over your overalls and choose short overalls to flatter your body more and add some simple ankle boots and a similar belt to complete the look!
 The original look was great but to be honest, acid wash overalls don't always 's work, you just have to find something that does.  With men's wear, consider pieces similar to the original but ones that flatter your body more whether its a cinch of the waist or shortening of the shorts, there is always a way to break out an outfit from the archives of vintage fashion.

Enjoy and please comment below what you think!!
