Vintage or New?

I LOVE vintage. Why? I choose to wear vintage (or second or pre-loved) clothes because with shops such as Primark clothes are so mass produced its even harder to create you own personal style.

I do like to wear new clothes, but I tend to mix them with vintage to give them my own unique style. I do love 1960s in general and the clothes from that era. I would say that I am a bit of an eclectic person in my tastes especially in music and clothes.

I have over 200 hangers with clothes on in my wardrobes, thats not counting all the stuff I have folded up in a suitcase or two.

I do take notice of current fashions and trends and note what other people are wearing and what is being sold in fashion shops. Although there are certain things I do not think tasteful and just look wrong.

Amy Winehouse revamped the fashion of the beehive hairstyle and the black eyeliner that was fashionable in the 1960s, my era. What I don't understand is the need for young girls to go out shopping in town with rollers in their hair? That is so Hilda Ogden or Nora Batty!!! Next they will be wearing pinnys and singing "the hills are alive".
