As an artist, Ericka has developed a keen eye for color, texture and composition. As a fashion historian, her frame of reference is a bit broader than your average vintage head. Freely blending a blazer from the early 20th century with a 1980s career blouse and contemporary denim (not to mention the canvas kicks she got for uno peso) proves that this aesthete/academic is in the 90th percentile of the SATs (Sartorial Aptitude Test). The next time you're in the Raleigh-Durham, NC area, check out Everything But Grannies Panties, the antique and vintage shop where Ericka scored her blazer.
