I absolutely love vintage clothing! I think it is probably the best aspect of fashion, it shows how fashion is just one big cycle and we are going to continue visiting the past trends. In the past a lot of us have turned our noses up at vintage clothes, but over the fast few years it has become a big hit with celebrities to teenage girls.
If you're like me and don't have any vintage stores in your area, it's not a problem. Charity shops are probably the best source for this type of clothing! Plus it is so cheap! A lot of the clothes that are top buys in the high street stores can be found in charity shops. Most of the time charity shops can be filled with junk that would appeal to nobody, this is common I have experienced that many times!
Then I thought where is the biggest place that I can find clothes from all different eras, Ebay of course! You may be searching for hours trying to find the perfect pair of shorts or your dream dress, but the fact is your are more than likely going to find it! With thousands of products listed each day you are guaranteed to find an item that will suit you. You may find that the prices on Ebay will be higher than charity shop prices but at the end of the day nobody you know will be wearing the same outfit from you.
Ebay is an excellent way to save your money on top designers too. For example the other day i bought a Miu Miu floral pattern shirt for £5. If nobody had told me that it was second hand I wouldn't have known. It was in fantastic condition! Plus it can make up so many different outfits! It's buys like that, that make me think how much money we waste each year in top high street stores when really if we just shop around a bit more we could find the same products for half the price.
2011 is the year for no shame! You shouldn't care what other people think about where you got your clothes from, so what if your top is from a charity shop. I can guarantee that some of the best dressed people on this planet get their clothes from second hand stores! I hope that you will go search for your perfect vintage clothes now!
