I would say my current wardrobe is 80% vintage, second hand or handmade from old textiles, but I'm going even further and have taken TRAID's pledge to source 95% of my future wardrobe secondhand rather than new. You too can take the pledge - any amount is welcomed!
My style is very eclectic and I love to wear colourful prints and mix up vintage from different eras. Here's what I wore throughout the week:
