I love old Shhh Knit!

Vintage is probably the most convenient style to go for since it entails paying about R10 for a pretty neat scarf or two at the Salvation Army. I have always had a thang for going through my gran's old clothes and accessories. The “Vintage”-look, however, is in my opinion one of the most difficult to pull off. Some tend to take the theme a little too far and end up looking like dusty doily-teapot covers.

The trick lies in the old fashion rule...don’t over accessorise! Add one or two “wow” items to your compilation. Never overdo it with too many weird, trendy items. Remember, less is more!

So to get the ideas flowing, here are some images of a winter 2011 collection. It is important to keep in mind that this type of wardrobe doesn’t necessarily have to cost a fortune!

 



Hope you enjoy!
