We've shown you all kinds of Vintage Fashion Forward ideas here on Vintage Indie, but today we are going to the street. Today's Street Style Profile comes from Roxy of Miami Beach.
What do you like to call your vintage/modern style?
I
never know what to call my style since it is ever changing.I have
always felt that my style was hippie chic. I love casual shirts, bell
bottoms jeans, and headbands.
Look #1 I love this look because it is comfortable and warm! The furry
top is 80s vintage and I paired it with some diy jeans. Bleaching the
jeans is simple, and the end result is really cool. I just spent a
couple of hours in my bathtub with a spray bottle with bleach and,
voila! The jeans are really versatile as well as the top. The tan boots
are vintage and go with pretty much everything I own.
I
love vintage boots and accessories, like belts and bags. Vintage
accessories and clothing is always unique. It always gives that extra
lift to your outfit.
What are your favorite ways to incorporate vintage fashion into your style?
Look#2 This look is elegant yet laid back. The sequin top was an
amazing vintage find. I paired it with some black leggings, and vintage
studded boots I bought on a trip to Amsterdam. I absolutely love the
sequins on the top and how they are placed. It is unique beautiful
vintage pieces like these that I feel girls should have in their
closet.
Look#3 The floppy hat was really popular this season, I found this
one at a H&M. The dress, vest and boots are all vintage. This look
is trendy and all pieces are great for layering. You can pair the
vintage leather vest with jeans, skirts, and dresses. I love when I
find staple pieces I can incorporate to my wardrobe every day.
Do you have any suggestions for those who are getting into mixing and matching vintage and new?
Experiment and wear what you love. I always look on fashion blogs and magazines for inspiration. Finding your own vintage style icon helps too. A lot of designers incorporate vintage reproductions into their lines so maybe your favorites have done this as well.
A special thanks to Roxy for sharing her Street Style with us. Roxy is also the proprietor of Punkv0uge clothing shop which she calls "Hippie Chic" Head over to find looks similar to her very own street style.
" Sweet Design with classic craftsmanship" That's the theme behind today's Daily Swank. We are in love with the Houndstooth Bubble Coat and Bubble Dress from Yellow Cake.
We've shown you all kinds of Vintage Fashion Forward ideas here on Vintage Indie, but today we are going to the street. Today's Street Style Profile comes from Magdalene from RETROMUS-IK.
What do you like to call your vintage/modern style?
My term of preference would be the oxymoron "throwback novelty". A modern twist on old clothes.
What are your favorite ways to incorporate vintage fashion into your style?
My favorite way to incorporate vintage fashion into my look would be by
wearing a vintage dress with more modern accessories. I adore wearing
dresses, and I love being unique without worrying that someone is
wearing the same outfit as me. I also like pairing a loud vintage shirt
with a simple pair of skinny jeans.
Do you have any suggestions for those who are getting into mixing and matching vintage and new?
Have fun mixing would be my number one advice! Invent yourself a
character: for instance, I said to myself one day that I wanted my
outfit to scream "career woman who wants to look classy yet sexy". So.
I put on my red vintage dress, wore my black pumps from Payless ShoeSource®, and
put on my leopard print bracelet my good friend brought me back from
Mali.
A special thanks to Magdalene for showing us her street style, mixing vintage with new. If you'd like to share your street style with us, please send your submissions to our email! We can't wait to see your street style.

Today's Daily Swank comes from our Featured Sponsor site Handmade Parade!
We love the designs from Toolgrrl!
This is their Red Gland Babydoll T-Shirt. The design is based on a drawing of glands found in a zoology textbook. We think it's fun and unique.
"Because
I rely on thrift stores and surplus outlets for my garments, I rarely
have two of the same kind. When I am deciding how to embellish each
piece, I respond to each garment's own unique characteristics, so the
end result is a one of a kind creation. I take pride in my work, and I
uphold a high standard of craftsmanship.
I recommend hand-washing my garments in cool water & laying them flat to dry."
