Style Panel: How to wear vintage, for beginners

I love the clothing from previous eras. Through my years of vintage trekking, I’ve found overalls, bell bottoms and even cowboy boots with a previous owner’s name on them. I always thought vintage stores were more like museums than shopping centres. Every garment in a vintage shop tells a story of a different time and a different owner. I feel like I’m wearing an artifact or a souvenir from somebody else’s travels.
Today, I’m wearing a vintage floral skirt from shoppalu.com (a Canadian vintage retailer) and everything else is brand new. The lion top is from romwe.com, and the shoes were sent from Korea. To ease yourself into the world of vintage, try pairing something new with something old. By wearing the modern-looking lion top, I’m not diluting myself in too much of the old.
