Wearing Vintage in a Modern World

TIPS for Vintage in a Modern World

1. Pick garments that look like current trends. Fashion goes in full circle.  Fashion today is just a reinterpretation of styles from the past.  The base of today's trends stems from styles as far back as the 1800's.  As time changes, a touch of more modern effect is given to the garments worn today.  Majority of designers today use vintage clothing as their inspiration. 

Vintage and Thrift: Refashion Tip from M.Nicole - Dress Refashioned to a Blouse

Big shout out to Monique N. Dickinson (a/k/a The Fashion Surgeon) of Donnie Nicole for this awesome refashion tip. I recently joined in on Monique's repurposing your closet segment  on Google Hangout.  I emailed one of my garments that I love but no longer fits right for a repurposing idea from the fashion surgeon herself.   I loved her tip.  It worked and I love it! As you will see in photos below, I submitted this vibrant color block shift dress to Monique.   I've had the dress in the my closet for three years.  I was going to donate it to my neighborhood Goodwill but Monique saved it!  See below and check out how my dress is now a beautiful blouse. Thanks Monique!
