Modern Vintage: Look the Look

September 29, 2012

I have talked about “Modern Vintage” before. I kind of made the term up for me own uses… but it probably has been used before. By using this term, I simply mean it as a generic way of talking about something (clothes in this instance) that is not vintage/antique/etc. but they look like it; OR something reconstructed/upcycled from a vintage item, fabric, etc.

This is the first “official” post of my “Modern Vintage: Look the Look” series. Basically, I take my Plus Size Vintage looks from The Curvy Elle Shop and translate them into modern clothing ideas on Polyvore. Each weeks outfits will be inspired by this week’s new vintage plus size shop items.  Polyvore makes for a fun way to experiment with inspiration! Make sure to follow The Curvy Elle on Polyvore!!
