I feel a little like a khaki-clad soldier in camouflage against this
backdrop - it's all very green! I think this is one outfit that looks a little
nicer on too than it actually photographs. The dress is one of my favourites
though, purchased from a great shop in Dublin called Carousel . They sell lots
of beautiful vintage dresses which they nip and tuck here and there to make
them more flattering. Plus they often have a 3 for 2 offer that’s just too
tempting to pass up on.
I absolutely love vintage clothes – in case that’s not
already glaringly obvious. It feels so much more special wearing a piece of
clothing that not only does no one else have but that also comes with a story and previous
adventures you’ll never know about – I kinda think it gives the clothing
character and a kind of twinkle in its eye!
So what do you guys think of vintage clothing? Do you buy much vintage or prefer new clothes?

That's a beautiful dress. I do like vintage stuff but I find it difficult to find stuff that fits and that I like - though it's fun doing altering and mending to thrifted gems :) x

Lovely! You look like you should be in the Keira Knightly film The Edge of Love. I'm a sucker for floral dresses!

If I could buy/wear only vintage, I probably would, it's so much nicer to have clothes that no one else has (probably). I love your dress, it makes me think of liberty print florals! Also the jumper looks ridiculously cosy!
ReplyDeleteIf I could only wear vintage I would, but price/fit/my inability to alter any clothes successfully has kind of put me off. I've got a couple of dresses that I love, and I'm slowly adding more though. I think my big problem is when I go for a wander round the shops I want to come back with something, and that doesn't always happen when you are scouring charity shops and vintage shops so I give up and go to the high street, where it's pretty much guaranteed I will come back with something. Love this dress, and you always find the most lovely backdrops! xo
ReplyDeletei LOVE vintage clothing- and that dress you nabbed is so pretty. and i agree with what you said- i feel like owning a vintage piece feels like it has some character on it. and i especially like how you paired that dress with the green sweater. i have one JUST like it in burnt orange and white.
ReplyDeleteand that's so cool you quit your job two years ago and went to india too haha! it's the plan to run away to for sure ;)
Oh really love the colour of your knit!!
ReplyDeleteWhen it comes to buying vintage, I really never never succeed. Even if I try. :-(

ReplyDeleteLOVE this outfit. I occasionally go hunting for clothes in charity shops or vintage shops but other people seem to have a better eye for these things than me. You obviously do! :)
