Worlds Collide

July 29, 2013,
by Celina[zilla_likes]

I love mixing two styles that seemingly shouldn’t go together, like edgy and girly, or boho and preppy. In this case the combo is vintage and modern. I found this authentic 1940s dress at a local vintage shop and styled it with a gorgeous pair of Desigual shoes, courtesy of City Shoes in Portsmouth. The patterned platforms give a bright new twist on an old classic.
