Vintage Style Meet Modern Wardrobe: Saddle Shoes

Recently, on my other blog, I proclaimed my desire to obtain a pair of my very own saddle shoes. Not only are they a nod to vintage fashion (they’ve been around since the 40’s!), but they are flat, casual,  full of personality and timeless.

Exhibit A: Saddle shoes in the 40’s:

Saddle shoes today:

See! The perfect shoe. So, I thought I style some outfits based around my imaginary pair of saddle shoes as a vintage style meets a modern wardrobe.

Katie is a 20 something vintage fashion junky who spends her time bouncing between work, play, fashion magazines and the thrift store. She claims that there are people in Seattle who don't wear hiking boots and fleece 24/7--this is her blog to prove it. Katie's interest in fashion began as a child by wearing pioneer dresses to the 4th grade. It has since been refined to a chicer version by the runway, countless style blogs, and her own Etsy store, Mitu Vintage. With her eye for style and a budget conscious approach, Katie has developed a hunting instinct. She can be found stalking her prey at local estate sales and rummaging "The Bins" in SoDo. Having only been in Seattle for a few years, Katie has since grown to appreciate everything that comes with it: Neither rain, nor fleece, nor snow will stop this chick from being stylish in Seattle.
