As much as I love shopping for new clothes and seeking out this season’s hottest trends sometimes I do get bored by seeing the same thing in every shop I come across, however I have recently taken a keen interest in vintage clothing, I find that it is a breath of fresh air into the limited options on the highstreet. As well as that recycling other peoples clothing for use myself also ups my green credentials and stops adding more older clothes to landfills thus better for the environment.
I have a couple of pieces of vintage clothing in my wardrobe although I never went out purposefully to buy them but happened across them, but it has perked up an interest so I will be looking out for places to buy vintage clothing such as charity-run second hand clothing shops, car boot sales, flea markets, antique markets, auctions, vintage clothing shops, textile or collectables fairs. As well as those places you sometimes can rely on family or friends who have pieces they no longer want especially accessories like handbags, belts and brooches.
