THE ART OF LAYERING…
One of the struggles i’ve found with the vintage items in my wardrobe, is not quite knowing what to do with them when the weather becomes colder. I’ve been determined to get more wear out of my clothing after a mini clear out on my depop, and i’ve been enjoying the aspect of layering more and more as the temperatures are dropping and this blue vintage button dress has been doing the rounds over the past few weeks, with a mixture of brightly coloured tights, scarves, jumpers and belts. The fit makes it easy to wear as a dress and even as a longer layered top or cardigan, which works perfectly now that i’m a skint student.
A big tip i’d give in regards to vintage clothing is to go by fit and not size if that makes sense, for example this dress is a size 20, but i like wearing it fairly oversized so that it get’s cinched in at the waist for a style that i find more flattering to my figure.
Speaking of winter, headscarves have been my ultimate go-to lately as i’ve been feeling so uninspired with my hair lately. They are so versatile and look good with jeans and a tee as well as dress and a vintage coat!
Hope you’ve all had a lovely week so far! I’ve had the best weekend ever and i’m feeling super refreshed and re-balanced from it all 🙂 How is your week going so far?

I totally agree. People are so obsessed by the size of clothing opposed to how well it fits and caters your body shape. You look lovely in this vintage dress 🙂 XTHEFASHION-JUNKIE
adore this dress! blue always looks so good on you, too. totally with you on the 'fit, not size' thing. so many of my clothes aren't my 'actual' size, but if i'd not looked beyond that i wouldn't have some of my favourite items!
