How to wear vintage...

My good friend shared this with me and I definitely like a lot of what it's got to say:

For some the beauty of vintage clothing is transforming their whole look and allowing them to express themselves in a bygone era and I completely understand that. For me, like what is mentioned in this article, I prefer to inject vintage pieces into outfits to give it that bit of 'je ne sais quoi'

For example, teaming a vintage handbag or clutch to a high street outfit, especially when you're going somewhere a bit special, can make you stand out from the crowd.

I have a favourite clutch that I got from a Vintage Fashion Fair in Saltaire (I'm sure some photos will be up soon) for £10 that I always get comments about as it is different. And that is, to me, the fascinating trick to incorporating vintage items into your looks, you can stand out, with pieces that you just can't find on the High Street.
