Friday Focus : Vintage Print

Vintage inspired printed clothes seem to be all over the place at the moment and I actually couldn't be happier. I think a beautiful printed dress, skirt or even top can be used in so many different ways within your wardrobe and give you so many options to work with. I've had a little browse this morning (dangerous for someone trying to avoid shopping - this blog is like masochism) and come up with some pretty gems from the high-street to show you all. 

Here we are: 

Firstly this skirt is absolutely divine - the colour is classic yet interesting and it would look amazing paired with anything from a simple vest top tucked in to an ornate or sheer blouse.
Topshop £32.00

This adorable dress puts a new spin on Vintage print with a gorgeous quirky pattern - also the super flattering silhouette would work on most if not all figures - win win

Topshop £36.00

These gorgeous shorts give a modern day twist to traditional vintage floral. Perfect with tanned pins in the summer or over some pretty tights in the cold.

Miss Selfridge £28.00

This classy beauty can be dressed up or down - imagine it with patent T-bar heels -whimpers- and would carry you through from season to season seamlessly. Gorgeous.
Dorothy Perkins £32.00

Finally we have a rather Carrie Bradshaw esque dress that just screams summer cocktails to me
Dorothy Perkins £38.00

In my own wardrobe I'm lucky enough to have many many vintage inspired printed items - I think I'm quite an addict ha-ha one of my personal favourites is this dress from New Look that I've had about a year now:

 I love the print and how easily it can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. I also love the colour and the fact it makes me feel a bit like a doll ha-ha. 

Additionally as I'm such a vintage print addict I've come to the point where my wardrobe is slightly over-run so I'll be selling a few on E-bay over the next few months, there's a couple on at the moment and more will follow. Feel free to have a browse : http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/sarahmstyle2011 + there is a perma-link to my ebay on the side of my blog :).

What do you ladies think of vintage prints? Should we all be embracing their beauty or is it time to condemn them to the past?
