vintage inspired fashion on a budget
so in the last post i challenged myself to build an vintage-inspired outfit without using anything vintage, today i try to put together another vintage-inspired outfit for under $35! yes the whole outfit for under $35 (ring and charm bracelet excluded)! and every item was under $10 (see below)… other than the vintage and thrifted items, i still have to admit that I had a few advantages, for example i got the beautiful charm bracelet from Tinny as a birthday present, also the peter pan lace collar top and the ruffled waistband shorts were both from Dressup, a wholesale online store based in Taiwan. but i just wanted to prove to myself… and possibly some of you, that a cute vintage-inspired outfit doesn’t need to be expensive!
how did i do? =)

Thanks for the comment – I love your romantic style. The bag is amazing! I can’t believe you got in a thrift/charity shop for only $3!

You did a really great job with this outfit Annie! It’s hard to believe the entire outfit cost less than $35 because it definitely looks much more expensive than that! I love the frilled band on the shorts and the peter pan collar top! 🙂
I LOVE IT! i cannot believe the outfit was so cheap, it looks expensive! amazing! clap clap clap ;D
