High Street vs Vintage! Trend Alert!

I've scoured some of the hottest high street fashion and brought you some surprising and equally gorgeous alternatives from the huge range of vintage clothing at My Vintage...

First up is this alternative LBD cut out midi dress from H&M...


I've discovered this beautiful deco inspired designer vintage dress from Janice Wainwright that definitely ticks the same boxes...

Next up, River Island have brought out some lovely slouchy roll neck jumpers like this one...

But why not grab a vintage alternative? At My Vintage, we have some wonderful vintage knitwear from as little as £10... This roll neck jumper is perfect!

A decent navy blue midi skirt is a great investment this season, and could well be the basis for many of your autumn outfits. This one from River Island is cute...

... but it really is just like a original 1970's vintage skirt just like this one...

Finally, this "boyfriend coat" from New Look screams vintage to me...


Why not go original with this fabulous 1970's vintage coat?
