Palm Beach style

Written by ogo on . Posted in Resort & tropical

The women of Palm Beach know the secrets of casual resort dressing, with comfort AND glamour in mind.  The first rule is comfort, as seen in this vintage THE LILLY Pulitzer pleated caftan.  Toss this caftan over your swimsuit for afternoon cocktails poolside or wear it at a romantic al fresco dinner for two.

Versatility is an important component of Palm Beach resort style.  A wrap skirt that moves easily from poolside to lunch with friends is chic enough to pack for a winter tropical trip.  At OgoVintage, you may choose between the BILL BLASS red wrap ruffled jersey or the black and white border print St. Maxine by Anthony Perrotti, both circa 1970s and in pristine vintage condition.

Your favorite little black skirt

Written by ogo on . Posted in Beautiful Basics, Black is the new Black

Every stylish gal needs a few perfect little black skirts – to dress up or down, cool off or warm up, for business, pleasure, and everything in between.  Here are a few timeless versions, just listed to the OgoVintage etsy shop, each linked to the listing.

The vintage LANVIN soft jersey wrap fastens at the high waistband only, letting you choose just how much leg you want to show.  The below knee length and narrow cut add to the sex appeal of this special skirt, couture order number 13889.

 Channel Catherine Deneuve in her “Belle du Jour” era with the vintage SAINT LAURENT wrap skirt.  The wool crepe knife pleats around the sides and back add to its initial prim appearance.  The flat front wrap panels close only at the waist with two wide hooks, letting you flash as much thigh as you dare.

When the weather gets chilly and you yearn for a cozy, yet chic, black skirt, reach for the soft angora and wool blend knit Yves SAINT LAURENT skirt.  This skirt has a deep waist to hip smocked upper and a soft, draping volume hem.  Add boots and a cashmere turtleneck for a warm and chic look.
