When it comes to clothing, the word “vintage” can sometimes stir up images of kitschy old ladies and the cast of Laugh-In. I’m here to tell you that vintage clothing isn’t all poodle skirts and far-out psychedelic prints. Vintage is all about finding one-of-a-kind items that play up your features and express your personality. The best part is that it’s super easy to pair vintage pieces with newer favorites for a totally unique look!

I picked up this adorable sleeveless top at a vintage shop in New York. Here I just paired it with casual denim shorts and simple ballet flats from Forever 21.

Here’s a fun vintage floral button-up blouse, worn two ways! Above, I’ve tied it over a bustier top with a tie-dye skirt, both from Forever 21. This one is more of a bold, kitschy look.
