Oh, This Old Thing? Beautiful Vintage Style (Straight from the High Street)

Oh, This Old Thing? Beautiful Vintage Style (Straight from the High Street)
By Beaut.ie  | Jun 30, 2014

You know when you ask your friend where she got her fabulous broderie anglaise smock and she answers with 'oh, this old thing - I picked it up in a vintage store in New York last time I was there. It really complements these brogues that I found in that cool flea market in Paris.'

And on the inside you roll your eyes (and maybe a little bit on the outside too). Because vintage is great and I love quirky fashion pieces, but finding that perfect pre-loved dress can be a difficult task.

So today we're looking at some beautiful, vintage-looking pieces that you can pick up on the high street. These are perfect for festival wear, teamed with plimsolls for an Irish Summer evening or throw on a clunky pair of biker boots to give it some edge.

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have some flowers to plait into my hair.

Do you love you some vintage-looking style as much as us? What pieces in our gallery catch your eye? And what vintage shops do you love?
