Vintage Inspired


Most of us carry a fondness for history, for things that are old but spectacular anyway. Talking about fashion, do you remember how you feel every time you look at a black and white picture of Audrey Hepburn? The eternal classic feeling. 

How much of the gone era revisits us? Of course, a typical female wardrobe has undergone many transitions ever since Mary Quant created shorter skirts so that women could easily run for a bus. But some things keep coming back.

Trends like bobbed haircuts, polka dots, simple pleated skirts, wide legged bottoms, they reappear on the streets before we know it. And when we spot them, we are smitten. Truly, old is gold. I am wearing an old era inspired, self made skirt here. Let me know about your vintage obsession in the comments section.

  31. Self made skirt? Wow!! That's a lot of talent :) And I genuinely liked your look.... it is Vintage and yet very 'right now'. And I loved all your references into the fashion past. Its sheer co-incidence I guess that I am taking about the history of bobs back at my blog :)
