When I ran my Decadence vintage boutique, one of the things I used to tell customers is 'vintage is not a costume; you can either make or break an outfit with vintage and the trick is not to overdo it if you are aiming for a stylish look'.

Some people are born with an innate (and enviable) ability to put together an effortlessly stylish look, while others would like to be more creative with what they wear but don't know how to successfully integrate vintage into a contemporary wardrobe.

We would all love the ability to style our heirloom pieces and our vintage purchases so that we look chic and confident, not outdated and drab, so I am very excited that Image Consultant, Glamour Stylist and Personal Shopper Lynsey Hakin of 'Image Confident Vintage' will be joining us at our next Frock Around The Clock Vintage Fair on 6th February.

Wearing vintage is not about following rules, in fact for most of its devotees the appeal lies in turning your back on fashion trends to be individually stylish, but for those who are new to vintage, advice on how to integrate vintage into a modern wardrobe to achieve that individual twist is invaluable. Knowing how to make a timeless classic the focal piece of an outfit, or how to add interest to a modern outfit with vintage accessories, is a necessary tool in the vintage girl's bag of style tricks and one that is now within reach for us all.
