    When it comes to Vintage Fashion, ‘Vintage’ and ‘Retro’ there are two terms we generally use as synonyms but these two terms are entirely different. If you have your grandmother’s dress that she wore in the seventies and she passed it down to you, that surely is a vintage piece of clothing (that you should love more than your life!!) but if you buy a suede button-up mini skirt from H&M that is a piece retro piece. Pieces of clothing that are made in vintage style for modern times are retro pieces of clothing.

    Shruti from shopbe , curates beautiful vintage dresses for women and I fell in love with this feminine lace dress the minute I saw it and it screamed seventies fashion also it perfectly fit in the project that I had been working on. One of the lesser talked about trends of the seventies fashion was the fashion of the housewives. With the industrial revolution in full swing in the seventies and modernization entering the lives of people, weekends came into being. The people would generally go out to enjoy and relax on the weekends, picnics being a popular choice.

    This is a story of a young housewife on picnic.

    Housewives everywhere became hooked on Laura Ashley’s romantic silhouettes and floral-drenched prints in the 1970s. The Edwardian-style dresses and vintage-look fabrics divided opinion amongst the more fashion-forward at the time. ‘They’re not particularly clothes for making a splash in a dramatic place,’ the designer justified at the time. ‘They’re simple garments to wear at home, and when you get home perhaps you need the security of nostalgia.’

    I wanted everything to be perfect for this look. To do justice to seventies fashion I side parted my hair and twisted some strands to one side and made a braid. I belted up my dress with a vintage belt and wore brown oxfords. I added a delicate chain and carried a lace bag to complete the look. I absolutely love the way this look turned out.

    You can buy beautiful vintage dresses at Shopbe.

    ON CONFIDENCE

    Ahoy-hoy, BE folks. I hope August has been good for you. For me, it has been inspirational. Weather really lifts me up and it’s been beautiful lately. I love this time of the year. It makes me super nostalgic! Remember as kids, we use to get so much advice? Some of it actually turned out to be pretty useful: don’t press your pimples, never take anything from a stranger, early to bed early to rise makes and a man healthy, wealthy and wise, never shop without checking zippers and buttons, and finish your homework and some of it was utter bullshit. I think it’s better to skip it.  But the motive behind all of it wasn’t wrong. Like everyone else, people around us wanted us to have a happy healthy life. But there is this one thing that never fails no matter in what situation you are and that is – fake it till you make it.

    Don’t get me wrong here – I don’t want you to base your life around a made-up personality. I’m talking about confidence here. Honestly, being an introvert in my early teens, I have faced plenty of issues with my confidence. I still do. I use to think that there is something really wrong with me. I use to get intimidated by situations (it’s still the same) but I just couldn’t let it frustrate me. For a very long time, I avoided being in situations like that (tiny cough). But it kept haunting me and I thought to myself – What am I running away from? And more importantly why? I can just put my I – CAN –DO it intentions out there and deal with it. I’ve improved over the years – a lot needs to be done still though. I still feel terrified of going to a place where I don’t know anyone. But I do it anyway. I do a lot of self-talk and make myself understand – you are a cool person, you know you have something to add. May be sometimes I suck at it – but at least I’m trying. You have to fake it till you make it, honey! You have to give yourself a chance. Choosing to be in such situations does make a lot of difference. Half the battle is won. Literally! Hope this was helpful in some way. 

    Laters!
