My Vintage-Inspired Look

Schott Zwiesel at ShopStyle

As you know, I LOVE vintage! But rare vintage, not so much the sixties-to-eighties vintage. I like the unconventional stuff. The victorian, edwardian, twenties and thirties vintage. The fifties party dresses and the nineties minimal dresses are the only exceptions. I love the understated femininity, the stuctured, body-sculpting dresses and the uniqueness of each of those eras. I find so many uncommon things and luxe elegant fabrics. I love that you can wear many of these items with modern clothing. I just LOVE and ADORE vintage!

Visit me here at Shopstyle, and don't forget to add three hearts ;p

I love this sheer 1900's top! It was likely worn over a solid colored blouse.
This is a beautiful, small, victorian jacket.

Again, I am far too obsessed with finding clothes from another era--but eras that no one seems to sell at vintage boutiques! The Edwardian period consists of structured and dainty clothing. Lots of lace, high necklines, white dresses and corsets (but not of the uncouth fetishy kind ;p). Visit Dorothea's Closet Vintage , for more.
