Cozy Day at The Paris Market in Bordeaux Vintage Fashion

When I saw this Bordeaux satin top at Fabrik’ here in Savannah, I knew right away I had to have it. It’s just different enough without falling into any sort of “trend” category. On the contrary, the balloon sleeves and tapered button wrists are decidedly vintage - in the best possible way.

The deep burgundy shade of this top is one of my very favorite jewel tones - I really think it looks great on everyone.

I paired with a woven skirt by Club Monaco to make it a little more daytime casual. This skirt is so multi-functional, it’s one of my favorite pieces this season.

My pale blue Kate Spade bag, accented with my Gunner’s Daughter Savannah silk scarf, really brought the outfit together. And my tiny Spartina pineapple earrings and vintage broach (sweetest birthday gift from my friend, Alena) were the perfect accessories.

Seriously, Paris Market on Savannah’s Broughton Street is one of my favorite ways to spend a morning. The little cafe there is just too picturesque and I love going there to grab a latte and macaroon, and dive into my work to the tune of French music. There’s a constant flow of new Parisian wares coming in, and they carry everything from perfumes to vintage furniture and glamorous little oddities.

The Paris Market is among our top recommendations for Savannah must-do’s. Check out one of our most popular lists here.
