I'd mix them and match them.<br /><br />Old or second hand is not always better. I like now but I like things that catch my eye and go with my life, whatever the era or the style. I am apparently having a 1950s themed hen do and I am not such a fan. I've never really been into very literal second hand/vinatge styling. I prefer to mix it up to make it work for me.<br /><br />As for the 90s - I still dress like Shirley Mansun or Courtney Love in the 90s accidentally now from time to time. As that was how I dressed in my teen years it sometimes comes out now I am in my late twenties. The grunge look was catwalk wehn Marc Jacobs did it first time round and has been popping up on the catwalks and high street for a while again now. When people mock it I don't get it as for me plaid shirts, babydolls and shifts seem relatively timeless as they were noramlised for me in the 1990s (when most of the shifts I wore were from the 1960s and from charity shops and my layers included great Welsh tapestry jackets from charity shops too).Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00414010663277948166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1273652815577465353.post-89385093727241295822012-02-08T15:57:13.627+00:002012-02-08T15:57:13.627+00:00As an old-school vintage lover, ie since ever I ca...As an old-school vintage lover, ie since ever I can remember, I admit to feel a little dismay at its commodification over the last year or so. I recently wrote about Tesco selling a dress online and calling it 'vintage', yet it came in a whole range of sizes to choose from! True vintage is one-off pieces, not rails of tea dresses available in a range of sizes. Avoid high street vintage ranges and go straight for the charity shops, the fleamarkets, the small stores you've loved for years. The high street gets enough of our pennies already without jumping on the vintage ones!SkintintheCityhttp://www.skintinthecity.comnoreply@blogger.com
