thankyou!
i love yohji, everything is so perfectly constructed and thought about.

 

[pchouclaire]

Agreed. Yohji's pieces are all so innovative yet timeless.

 

[wekilledcouture]

agreed, there's better pictures on my blog where its actually buttoned up.
the cut is just so stunning
and the pleats instead of the tails is what made me fall for it.

i was wondering if anyone has any tips for someone who is new to vintage shopping, it would be much appricated?

pchouclaire - the colors of your dress are amaaaaaaazing!

 

[pchouclaire]

^Cheers Erin!

^YoninahAliza I would suggest that you just start to browse around vintage stores. Maybe pick a favorite era like the 60s or 70s to look for and focus on that. Make sure you always buy good quality-some of those 70s polyester dresses might look cute but are in no way shape or form comfortable. Are you looking for vintage couture or just vintage? Also, go prepared. I like to vintage shop a couple of stores at a time. Wear trousers and a top-easy clothes to take on and off so you can try things on. I have been into many hole in the wall vintage stores where there is no changing room. Hope that helps a bit! x

Also, I have some new (80s) red leather boots! (own pic-sorry about the quality

Those are really cute, but I'm even more intrigued by your stockings! They
look sweet.

 

[pchouclaire]

Thanks STYLEOCIDE They're Pretty Polly tights (I own every single pair in their line plus all the Henry Holland/Pretty Polly collaboration ones. Love them)!

 

[STYLEOClDE]

Oh thanks! I will take a looksy. Too cute.
