Making Vintage Modern

Hope everyone had a great weekend. Let's just say mine could have been better. Lately, I have been wearing more vintage items than I ever can remember. I am not sure why the increase. I guess it's because I am doing more thrifting. With the start of the school year, I decided to wear my another vintage dress that was a find for $5.00. Now, I didn't buy this dress for the price, that was just a bonus, but it has great lines, a full skirt, and great neckline. It is tad see-through, so I actually had a black full length slip that worked great underneath.

  A few ways to make a vintage dress have a modern feel:

1. Add a trendy or more modern belt.

2. Use accessories to modernize the outfit. In this outfit, I accessorized with gold and large pieces of jewelry.

3. Your shoe style can also help modernize.

4. Finally, pick a vintage item that can be incorporated into a current wardrobe. Not everything vintage should be worn- I have seen some U-G-L-Y vintage apparel that has seen better days. So, be selective!!!

How do you select a vintage item for your wardrobe? Have you thrifted anything lately?
