Styling Vintage Skirts – 3 Ways

3 Ways to Style a Vintage Skirt - via Old World New

Thrifted skirts, especially of the vintage variety, are my favorite thrifted items (I say it quite often, like here and here). They can be worn in so many different styles, you can never really go wrong with them. Just in case you don’t know how to style the thrifted skirts you find, here are my three favorite ways to wear thrifted vintage skirts. I’m using this vintage Ralph Lauren skirt that I thrifted recently as our example.

    I love these skirts!!! The struggle of finding a shirt to match is real especially if you’re busty! I really like the mid length skirt and the white shirt. I own a few long vintage skirts and I absolutely love the elegance of them!

    I love the three ways you matched the skirt with tops. The tee is the most likely for me because I’m most comfortable wearing a tee and tucking it into a skirt. I love all of your details, especially that beautiful tan & red purse! xx, adaatude.com

    I love this post. Vintage shopping always intimidates me a little bit for some reason, but the styling on this skirt makes me want to get out there and try. All three looks are gorgeous, but I’m extra fond of the crop top and t-shirt with the skirt. The bright whites make it pop. Lovely, as always!

    LOVE!! What awesome finds! You are totally rocking those crop tops, I’d have to say those are my favorites, although I’d wear any one of these options!

Discarding the top of strawberries has been the norm my entire life. But why?

Eating the tops of strawberries is one tiny sustainable change that didn’t take a lot of effort. 

What’s one small eco-conscious change you’ve implemented that made you say “Why didn’t I think of this before?!” 💡✨
