Vintage Inspired Fashion

Hey ladies. Thought we should start a thread on our favourite vintage inspired labels. I totally love Zooey Deschanel's style on New Girl and I read in a magazine that she shops a lot on Modcloth which I love. There are so many cute things on there. I also love this British label called Miss Patina http://www.misspatina.bigcartel.com/ their dresses are so pretty. They also deliver for free which is sweeeeeeeet! What about you? Have you found any similar sites worth sharing? :D xx

I find vintage fashion so hit and miss! Most vintage fashion stores here in London don't filter their stuff so they have thousands of items in their stores - most that are ill-fitting and tatty. It's like a needle in a haystack trying to find something decent!

Vintage is awesome! I have a big issue with today's fashions. The good quality stuff is out of my price range, and the affordable stuff looks and, well, IS cheap. Plus I try to stay away from trendy stuff. My go-to stores for authentic & affordable vintage clothes are Salvation Army and Goodwill. There's no guarantee you'll find something every time you go. And you have to know how to shop there (and have a lot of patience) in order to find anything. But chances are you'll come away with some great pieces, save your wallet, and contribute to some great causes while you're at it. You can't lose :)
