Even then, I'd probably prefer straight Vigilante with maybe a single-level Swash dip (Inspired Blade is good and gets you into Fencing Grace right away); if you really want magic, one of the Vigilante archetypes (maybe Magical Girl?) is probably the more straightforward option as I'm not sure what Bard really adds once you've multiclassed so much, even if you're doing it for theme alone - indeed, thematically and (mostly) mechanically straight Vigilante is pretty well-suited... though I never pass up an opportunity to multiclass if I can get away with it.
