I’ve always had a fascination and admiration for vintage style, it’s what sparked my love of fashion in the first instance and although I don’t wear much vintage myself (only for lack of decent finds) I have always envied those who deck themselves out in the trends from the 1940s and 1950s. I kind of feel that I’m too tall and lacking in curves (a work in progress) to really pull of a lot of the clothes but a quick browse on the vintage style emporium Vivien of Holloway has me thinking that maybe I need to branch out a little bit more.
This is only a tiny selection of pieces I’m loving from the online shop and whilst I might not be able to pull off a prom dress anywhere near as well as Char can I’m thinking that a pair of the swing trousers or a circle skirt plus a fitted slash necked top or blouse might not be too far out of the realms of possibility.
Which fashion eras do you especially love? Any tips for wearing vintage style pieces with confidence?
I have 2 VoH dresses and I love them! Always wanted some if their 3button big trousers but unfortunately, when I tried them on, I was between sizes and they didn’t look so good!
I love the print on the dress!

I love vintage on others but I’m not sure I can pull it off! The 1920’s is my favourite era, the dresses were beautiful x

I love that floral dress, I’m so sad I had to part with my VoH dress 🙁
