It's so versatile and will take me from day to night, casual to evening wear and could suit many occassions. The key is in accessorising of course. Here I share with you my tips of how to style vintage into your modern wardrobe.

RENT Every time you rent or buy pre loved, you're saving all the water, electricity and emissions used to manufacture a new piece of clothing.

REDUCE The average Australian woman buys 27kgs of clothing a year and throws away 23kgs of that. Renting or buying pre loved rather than buying new is a more sustainable way to shop.

REUSE You can rent/sell from your wardrobe to other peers or rent/sell them on your behalf. Therefore prolonging the lifespan of fashion that's already in existence.
