Nailing Everyday Chic - A Mint Vintage Boutique Style Guide

Here's a morning routine we're all familiar with:

Open up a closet full of stuff, pick out items that make sense on their own but not necessarily together, panic a little and ultimately wear the same thing you wore two days ago.

Looking good every day, everywhere, is a challenge. It takes practice, a keen eye for fashion, and a dash of confidence... but it's not impossible to master! Once you do, you will never have to worry about who you might run into when popping out of the house for a quick errand. Here are our recommendations to start building your capsule wardrobe, with quality vintage pieces that are far from your average basics.

1) a pair of comfy jeans

There is nothing more confidence-boosting than that one pair of jeans that fits just right. Our top jean style pick: flared or bootcut. 

2) a passe-par-tout top

Yes, it's simple - that's what makes it so chic. We love a high-quality cotton tee, bonus points if it features a fun print or cool details. 

3) an oversized jacket

Take a page out of the Olsen twins' playbook, add a little volume to your look. Whether that means a cropped puffer or slouchy suede, it wil take your everyday style to new heights. 

4) your favorite shoes

There is nothing fabulous about shoes that you can't walk in for more than a couple hours... at least not for your everyday vibe. No need to sacrifice your feet for the sake of the outfit - find a pair of neutral ankle boots that will give you a little height. They will be an excellent building block for all everyday chic affairs.

5) an iconic bag

Bags are our weakness, and if we absolutely had to pick one bag style that needs to be in your everyday rotation it is definitely the east-west bag. Fits all the essentials, looks cool, and is usually a shoulder/crossbody bag for maximum comfort and efficiency. Our personal tip to you: make your bag pick unique in color or pattern!
