Hi, my name's Brandy Joy Smith, and I'm a wardrobe stylist. So, let's talk about vintage clothing. If you've never worn vintage before, a great way to get started is by pairing one or two vintage pieces with your current clothing. The important thing to remember here is that vintage doesn't have to be scary. Bringing old classics back into your wardrobe can be fun with some creativity. Our model, Laura, is wearing a high waisted pattern vintage shorts from Magnolia Family Vintage. We've paired the vintage shorts with a contemporary top from Zara, and added touches of vintage jewelry, also from Magnolia Family Vintage, to merge the contemporary and vintage pieces together. Picking your favorite piece of contemporary clothing, and finding vintage items to add around it is an easy way to step into wearing vintage clothing with confidence and style.
