Now we’re safely into January I feel able to talk about shopping again.
The January sales are in full swing, and it’s a great time to bag things on the High Street that you’ve lusted after all year now they’re finally knocked down to something almost close to their actual worth.
For today’s Friday Frock Love I’ve scoured the virtual High Street for some vintage inspired sale bargains, and I’ve even turned them into little decade specific outfits. I can’t guarantee all the accessories are on sale, but they’re really just for an idea!
Remember. They’re all in the sale, so if your size is still in stock, don’t hang about!
1920s
If you read the reviews under this lovely beaded flapper style frock, it seems it might not even be as short as it looks, unless you’re a tall girl.
Team it with low heeled, almond toe shoes, a feather head dress and lots and lots of eyeliner and lipstick for a touch of flapper style.
LOVE LABEL BEADED DRESS – £75 £37 – Very.co.uk
Accessories – Peacock Fascinator -£35 – Sugar & Hatter * Navy Shoes – £89.99 £69.99 – Miss L Fire
1930s
This dress from Wallis has a 70s does 30s vibe, and with the right accessories will look amazing. I am absolutely in love with it and if I manage to get over Christmas and it’s still there then it’s so mine.
COLOUR BLOCK FISHTAIL DRESS – £75 £35 – Wallis
Accessories – Vintage Hat – $79 – Klassic Line * Shoes – £89.99 £69.99 – Miss L Fire
1940s
To make a change I’ve picked out a skater dress for the 40s look. It’s the kind of look I was hoping to go for with the lace George dress before Christmas, but it didn’t quite work. Matching knit cowl, rib tights and gloves with elegant fur trim boots. Just add glamorous 40s film star waves.
SHORT SLEEVE SKATER DRESS – £60 £45 – Oasis
Accessories – Snood – £65 – Liberty * Rib Tights – £12 £6 – Monsoon * Button Gloves – £12 £8 – Monsoon * Boots – £109.99 £89.99 – Miss L Fire (again)
1950s
The use of the word midi suggests this should be a reasonable length, and it looks a lovely 50s shape. With a petticoat and chic accessories this will look adorable. But don’t get me started on the shoes I’ve used in this outfit. They are my new favourite Anglomania’s and I hope one day they will be mine.
MIDI DRESS IN GEO SMUDGE SPOT – £50 £27 – ASOS
Accessories – Lowie Cashmere Beret – £50 £30 – ASOS * Melissa Anglomania “Skyscraper” heels – £129 – Thackerays * Petticoat – $59.99 – Modcloth
