I have no qualms about mixing up eras when I get dressed. I’m not a vintage snob. Mixing different decades of vintage with contemporary pieces adds an element of surprise.
Style Vintage Contemporary With Modern Boots
Remember when I told you I had a momentary retail breakdown just before Christmas? Yeah. It was these snakeskin boots. #noregrets
The dress is a classic 1970s day dress with accordion pleats and quite lovely on its own but when the boots are added? NOW we’re talkin’!
This is another adorable black paisley 60s/70s dress with tie neck and ruffle sleeves. What do you think of the juxtaposition of the classic feminine dress with the bold rock & roll boots? Dress Medium

Totally random to squeeze that quote in here but I felt the urge to share it with you. In today’s age of fake news it is even more important to keep this in mind.

The artsy graphic design of star bursts on this asymmetrical 70s dress work perfectly with the wild snakeskin, don’t you think? Or is that just me feeling extra smug? Dress S/M
How about some colour blocking? My version of the 80’s revamped. Sweater S/M
If I didn’t tell you that these pieces were vintage would you have known they were?
I doubt it. So many fast fashion companies have lifted directly from the vintage vaults to create their “latest looks”. Environmentally exploitive companies like H&M, Zara and Forever 21 are all creating their versions of “new vintage”. Why bother with their cheap, fast fashion, environmentally unfriendly version when you can get the real thing?
How do you feel about mixing different eras of clothing?
