Get the Vintage Look – Classic Blouses for a Vintage Capsule Wardrobe

October 15, 2022

I’ve recently been thinking about creating vintage capsule wardrobes. With shopping sustainably becoming more and more essential, it’s important to be thinking about making the most of our clothes and wearing them as much as possible. When I’ve been sourcing stock for the shop, I’ve been focussing on beautiful classic pieces that can also last a life time. That includes buying versatile pieces that have lots of styling potential. I’ve always been a fan of vintage blouses, as there’s so many different ways to style and wear them. I love dressing up a pair of jeans with a pretty blouse, tucking them into my favourite skirts, or wearing them under dresses. A gorgeous vintage blouse is perfect under a blazer for a smarter look or under a sweater to show off a pretty collar. Today I wanted to share a few of the lovely blouses that are currently available from Vintage Frills Shop.

This season I’m particularly loving blush pinks, classic creams and lots of lace and embroidered details. I have a mix of eras available at the moment from classic 50s looks to gorgeous 80s essentials.

This lovely lace blouse has a beautiful square necklace and full sleeves in a lovely antique cream shade. she’s look gorgeous with simple trousers or skirt and classic gold jewellery. She’s a UK Size 16. SHOP LACE BLOUSE
