Shareen Vintage Dress / Prabal Gurung for Target Sandals

Throw on some Frank Sinatra and I'm ready to be in full swing. I loved the very 20s silhouette of this dress with the drop waist and the pleated skirt. I'm a sucker for a shifty "sack dress" if you will, and the little details and impeccable tailoring made it that much better. A great vintage look to take you from work to your favorite speakeasy on the LES.

Shareen Vintage NYC Reworked Crop Top and Skirt Kat Maconie London Sandals / Jules Smith Choker

While "the Shareen" of Shareen Vintage is based in LA, I still had the pleasure of speaking with her all about her journey through fashion and love for vintage. One thing I loved hearing about was her "reworks". She wanted to find ways to connect vintage to the modern day, so she reworked the vintage items into more modern silhouettes.

The "matching separates" concept has become a huge trend over the past year or so, and I absolutely died for her reworked combo here. I spotted some of these "perfect pairs" on Shareen's instagram just before going into her Manhattan location, so I knew what was at the top of my list. It's a great way to break up any normal dress or a perhaps dated silhouette, and also the perfect transition for crop tops with just that sliver of skin. Shop this look along with other amazing pairs at Shareen!

Shop it all at Shareen NYC

My closest friend (and vintage aficionado) has lived in both Manhattan and LA and recommended Shareen Vintage as one of her favorite stops in each city. The Manhattan store is located on the second floor of an unmarked building. As soon as you ring the buzzer and walk up the stairs, you are transported into a different world. Hardwood floors, tall ceilings, and racks for days. Shareen houses vintage, vintage reworks, bridal, and her own collection. Each piece has a feminine sensibility about it, and with a no boys allowed policy, it's like any girl’s dream. I loved trying on everything from backless evening gowns, to flirty summer dresses, to the most amazing high-waisted pants.

I’ve really been digging all things off the shoulder and this dress was perfection. With full pleating and lace detail, it effortlessly draped off my shoulders and cascaded down like a fairytale. This dress would be ideal for a spring/summer wedding or your next trip to France perhaps. Hey, a girl can dream.
