Summer is Just Around the Corner Again! Sort of...

Who said Vintage was just for formal occasions? The thing I love about Vintage is the fact that it can be adapted to any situations, whether it be in attendance at Goodwood festival where going the whole hog with vintage hair, makeup and even undergarments is key to looking the part at this fancy dress event held every summer, or popping down to your local cocktail bar for some sophisticated drinks in style.

Don’t get me wrong, vintage pieces are to be treated with delicate love and care as they are not as strong and resilient as modern day fabrics, but they don’t have to be locked away in a dust cover at the back of your wardrobe and only brought out of hiding for when the Queen comes to visit!

As it happens, opportunity presents itself in the form of music festivals that take over the fields of English countryside every summer, where style and individuality are as important as the music itself.... As all the festivals are now over (as is our lovely summer), we need something to look forward to so that the winter blues don’t take over. What better way to do so than start planning ahead to next summer’s activities!
Glastonbury tickets may have sold out in four hours the other day (an absolute record for ticket sales nearly a year in advance), but the lucky few who have managed to secure tickets might like to start planning their ensembles already...

I love this jacket from The Vintage Clothing Fairy! It’s so versatile to wear with other busy printed vintage items...

Or keep it contemporary and simple with modern day fashion with a unique twist such as an Urban Outfitters dress:

Or even a plain H&M shift.

There’s not always the need for too many other details when you have such a busy jacket to draw attention to yourself.
Vintage is the perfect way to show off your style and taste in clothes at the same time as showing off your taste in music. After all, what better way to honour some the original music festivals of the 1960’s, 70’s and 80’s than to wear garments that are from those era’s!
