Eye Spy, a Vintage Buy!

If you read my blog frequently, you most probably know I can’t help but sing praises to Urban Outfitters already. Well this post is no different.
However, I am only talking about one section today and that is their vintage range. Lately, I myself just can’t get enough and can’t help but spend money I don’t really have in there. Now, you must have been living in a black hole for the last few years if you don’t own or know about the Levi cut off shorts they do. I recently purchased a pair after about a year (and I am not over exaggerating) of looking for the perfect pair. They were so popular they never had my size, but luckily, I stumbled across a pair a few weeks ago and snapped those bad boys right up! They are o of my favourite pieces and I can’t stress how much I think everyone should own a pair of denim shorts let alone a vintage Levis pair.
Which leads me on to why I love it; even though they are all denim shorts, every pair is different. That’s the beauty of vintage – it’s very rare to get the same thing twice. They have similar items, but none are exactly the same. Perfect! I can’t think of anything worse than having the same things as someone else – you need to embrace your own style not somebody else’s.
Please excuse the chinese takeaway menus!
Enough of me babbling now, the reason for this post was to show off my new cardigan: a vintage grey cardigan with the letter K on it. I already have a ‘Kate’ jumper, so I thought I might as well get a cardigan to add to the collection! I absolutely love it, it’s so preppy as well as vintage and I can’t wait to wear it with skinny jeans and a white tee.

Though, to be fair, I think it would be really easy to buy a letter in a haberdashery shop and iron it on yourself, but I was feeling lazy and can’t resist a bit of Urban Outfitters! I couldn’t be happier with it!
