Every item of fashion that we know and love today has a history as to how it became iconic. I love watching old movies and seeing how the beloved stars from times past wore these items and made them legendary.  The beauty of a classic item is that it never goes out of style. Combining old with the new is one of my favorite ways to combine an outfit.
