Funkay Fashion

Written by Ashley

Spunky and funky fashion is in for summer ( and for all year round if you’re just that kinda gal), but if you’re looking for ways to spruce up your humdrum wardrobe, here are a couple of stops you can make on the funk train

First Stop/Clothing:

Heather Kelly Collection ( heatherkellycollection.com) has taken the ‘turn something old, into something new’ mantra and ran with it, all the way to my heart. Based on ” Transforming vintage clothing into modern silhouettes”, she is chopping and sewing old nothing pieces of fabric, into some of the chicest vintage on the market, no joke! I really enjoy that she keeps the feeling of the vintage piece present, while making the garment super-modern.   Below, one of my favs, she has taken an old 80’s long sleeved ruffled blouse and hacked it into this masterpiece of a tank! This could be just the funky addition to layer with a slouchy blazer & shorts for a night out.

Next Stop/Accessories:

Seeking Designers.com has some kickass satchels from Dressed Up Cat! Designer Tracy Penwell takes simple bags and garnishes them with a splash of funk (prices go from $195-$495… visit here to find out more!)

And for jewelry?  Look no further…s

Wilton Artisans (wiltonartisans.com) Is some Connecticutt based, handmade jewelry. And I would wear every last piece, every single day. For reals. Some pieces aresweet, and classic.  While some, have that little edge that will keep you on the road to hipsterdom.
