Vintage Denim

Yet again I had an amazing find at my favourite vintage store. As I explained in my previous post you can find some real gems when you know what you are looking for.

I had been back and forth at least four times trying to find a 70's inspired denim pencil skirt. The 70's trend is 'so hot' right now! You can imagine my delight when I finally found it and it fit!

Here I have paired it with a silk camisole and a soft woollen cardigan to keep the look modern. To finish the look I added some strappy heels and my favourite bag.

I will also be wearing this skirt with a tee and sneakers for an ultra casual look or with tights, boots and a coat for a chic winter look.

Some tips for buying vintage:

* Look out for pieces that fit current trends and adapt it to your style

* Look for classic pieces such as leather, knits or denim

* Make sure the piece you choose fit well

* Check for any marks of wear. Since it is vintage it may be discolored or stained

* Make sure you are not paying too much for the piece. Sometimes you will pick up the odd designer piece so make sure the store haven't inflated the price.

* Have fun with it!
