How to Vintage-ise your Wardrobe

So we’ve all agreed that vintage clothes are cool. Julia Roberts was seen wearing a stunning vintage Christian Dior dress at the Oscars that helped catalyse the frenzy for vintage clothes. But for the average girl whose wardrobe is made from, mainly modern day, how does one introduce some vintage feel without looking like we’re heading for a fancy dress party?

I went to the Clerkenwell Vintage Fashion Fair on Sunday and picked up a few items to vintage-ise my wardrobe. I thought I’d show you how I managed it with a few key pieces.

Here i'm sporting: a 60 year old pair of pedal pushers with a gorgeous daisy embroidery around the waist and pockets, a pair of Fred Perry pumps, a pale turquoise shirt originally from H&M but purchased from a charity shop at the bargain price of £2.80 and earrings from Kei vs Ivy.   I'll create a few looks with these pedal pushers and the other treasures I found.
