I know, I know, I can't believe it either! I mean, look at this print:
Delightful and very vintage, right? Well, half right. It is definitely delightful, but it's also very definitely not vintage. It's actually Foxcroft.
They contacted me recently to try some of their new pieces and let me just say that I was very pleasantly surprised by the selection. I knew that Foxcroft shirts were well made and can free one from the tyranny of ironing (hallelujah!) but I had no idea they were so fun. I often shy away from venerable brands like Foxcroft because I don't feel like I have enough gravitas to pull them off, but with some of their new prints, I can wear them and continue to live my gravitas-free lifestyle.
Like this top for example:
This fun, bright print is the "vintage royal" print and represents the vision of Foxcroft's head designer, Laura Poretzky-Garcia, to find inspiration from Foxcroft's vast print, fabric and design archives.
And I think that's fabulous. As much as I love vintage, I also really love brands that do modern vintage, like this blouse. Because, if this blouse were true vintage, it'd probably be made of sweat-inducing polyester and be too narrow for my "modern" shoulders (I call them modern because they get mad when I call them "linebacker-like").
Also, although it's not vintage, this top fits perfect with the rest of my outfit, which is vintage:

And you can win too; right now Foxcroft is having their Friends & Family event and everything is 40% off through Friday. That includes the top I'm wearing, this other delightfully vintage-y blouse and this amazing houndstooth piece.
Happy Tuesday, All!

Please Note: Although this blouse was given to me in exchange for a review, all opinion expressed on this blog are my own. And that means that if the top was not great (Bob) I'd tell you. Promise.
