Claire was undoubtedly the queen of blazers, silk blouses and scarves, gold brooches, skirt suits, and trousers. A source of style inspiration for working women everywhere.
What really set this look off was the accessories! Being the vintage empress I am, a couple of weeks ago I came across a dope novelty scarf. Once I got home I realized not only is it vintage, but a vintage Hermes scarf. I'm not super big into name brands as I once was, but I do recognize gems when I find them and quality from particular brands can't be denied. This silk scarf is from the 1991 Daiymo collection adorned with Japanese katana swords. It's a great addition to this look and further proves how much accessories are the icing on top to fashion looks.
In addition to the silk scarf, I couldn't resist adding a piece of fur to this look. This stole is a raccoon fur from a Juicy Couture coat I had many moons ago. At first I wanted to wear a plain brown leather purse I wore in my "Mudcloth" LOTD, but I wanted to add a pop of color and boldness to this look with my vintage 1980's Dooney & Bourke two toned crossbody purse.
A simple touch of pearl dangle earrings and a long string of pearls definitely set this look off and creates a timeless touch. Plus, what better way to complete the ensemble with a gold plated wreath brooch? So classic and chic!
Oh and the makeup? Orange hues for the win! I added a pop of orange tones in the inner eyelids from the Juvia's Place Nubian Palette and Colourpop's "Ziggie" Lippie Stix, a mix of burgundy and burnt orange. Last but not least, I pinned one part of my hair up and fluffed the rest into a curly half frohawk (thanks to a bentonite clay mask, my curls were really on one).
80's Claire Huxtable look, nailed and completed!
