Get the Vintage bug!

Did you ever get that feeling when you go shopping that everything looks the same? Or that you have somethig similar at home already?
Did you ever have a special occasion where you just wanted to stand out from the crowd and look amazing?
Well the answer to these problems may be found here! :)

Vintage clothing is something that not everyone is willing to try, but teamed with the right pieces it looks amazing. The best thing about it is that your look will always be original.
I am personally very into classic glamour, so I love browsing vintage clothing, especially the accessories which can be fabulous!
We are also lucky enough to have three great Vintage stores right here in Cork city, The Torquise Flamingo, Mercury goes Retrogade and Miss Daisy Blue. There are also some fabulous vintage accessories shops, such as Velvet Bow.

I am going to share some of my favourite Vintage pieces in hopes of getting some of you to try if for yourselves :)

The above dress is an example of some of the exquisite detailing that can be found on Vintage pieces.


Im a huge fan of the white lace blouse, which is a classic Vintage look.


This look is a little different, but I love the cute babydoll look and especially the lace and button detail on the sleves. Its very difficult to find these little touches on high street clothing.
As seen in this photo, the upstyle really compliments the dress, so make sure that you try a few different hairstyles to match the vintage theme.
There are really no rules when it comes to wearing vintage clothing, as the more diverse the better, but the wrong hairstyle could throw the whole look off if it looks to modern.

Vintage stores are also great places to find a classic coat, such as this fab fur one shown in tho photo which is very cheap at just €60, when you might pay twice that for a similar coat on the high street.





I love this dress, its so glamerous! And its very different to anything you might find elsewhere.


So the next time your roaming the streets looking for that perfect dress for a night out or looking for that perfect winter coat, make sure to check out the Vintage shops too, you never know! :)
