Truly, Madly, Vintage
I have always loved all things vintage. I have spent blissful hours hunting through rails of vintage items for that special item. One of my favourite finds is a burgundy Austin Powers style 60’s jacket, covered in a wild and happening paisley design. It has a glamourous fluffy colour which I adore, I match it up with my black heeled boots and off I go - trotting down the street, with a funky James Brown tune playing in my groovy head.
Vintage is true because it is authentic style, vintage is art expressed as clothing, vintage is defiant,enduring the test of time in the world of the modern, commercial, fashion industry.
Let vintage be whatever you want it to be for you, mix eras and ideas, emulate your style icons, have fun. Even better, put together stunning outfits without a stunning price tag.
