How to dress like a pin up with a small budget ?

How to have a pin up vintage look with a small budget ?

Comment avoir un style pin up avec un petit budget?

3 tips / 3 conseils :

1) Go to a thrift shop / Aller dans une friperie

It seems to be logical for some people but you can found many good items. Personally I go to emmaus : http://emmaus-france.org/ it's an association created by l'Abbé Pierre and you can find clothes, shoes, accessories, furnitures and it's not expensive at all.

On this picture I found this beautiful skirt for a few euros. I also buught these leopard shoulder strap in a thrift shop for a few euros.

Aller dans des friperies ou des magasins qui vendent des articles vintages est aussi un bon moyen de faire des économies et de trouver des pièces uniques! Il y a souvent des articles de marques vendus pour une bouchée de pains c'est vraiment le top!

2) Go to a garage sale / Aller dans un vide grenier:

You can find many items like clothes, shoes, accessories also vintage furnitures and maybe old vinyls. You can negociate the price with the seller it's very a good plan !

On this picture I bought these shoes in a garage sale. The short is from a thrift shop.

Faire les vides greniers est une bonne occasion de trouver des pièces uniques et vintages! Le petit plus est qu'on peut négocier un article avec le vendeur et vous pouvez trouver des articles neufs ou ayant peu servi et en très bon état ! Personnellement j'en fais au moins un ou deux par an et c'est vraiment un bon moyen de se créer des looks vintage sans dépenser des fortunes.

3) Go to stores or online shop during sales period/ Aller dans les magasins ou acheter en ligne pendant les soldes:

Ok this is certainly the thing I do in most cases ah ah. I absolutely love buying things especially clothes and I am not an actress so I haven't much money. The best way is buying items during sales period . If you can wait you can make good deals !

On this picture I wear a dress from killstar. Indeed two summers ago I bought this beauty dress. Especially on summer many online stores make big cost reductions like Killstar, Miss Guided, Fashion Nova, Collectif Clothing.... If you wear XS size you can make good deals because during sales you can find good items with good prices because there are few stocks and often you can found XS size. It depends but I made good shopping sessions like that.

Pendant les soldes, vous pouvez faire de bonnes affaires. C'est le cas pendant l'été ou beaucoup de magasins sur internet ou en ville font de grosses soldes ou des offres spéciales. Vous pouvez trouver de bons articles de cette manière.

You want an extra ? So I found some other ways to make good deals with a little budget. Let's go !

Buying on Vinted and other online stores:

Indeed you can find clothes, accessories, jewerly, shoes and many things new or in good conditions ! It's a good alternative to wear good quality and low-cost items.

On this picture I wear a blouse from vinted. It is beautiful and I didn't pay so much!

J'ai trouvé plusieurs vêtements de bonnes qualités pour un très bon prix! Je recommande ce site.

My last proposition is to buy on Chinese stores like Wish, Shein. It's not a good way for me I apologize but sometimes I found good items. J'ai trouvé de beaux articles avec une bonne qualité malgré ce que l'on sait des sites de vêtements chinois.

On this picture I wear a bomber from Wish in a vintage style. This is a beautiful with a high-quality item!

If I can give you a piece of advice ( I try to do the same I promise!) please try to buy on Etsy or a similar online shop. It's better to choose true vintage items. You can find good things for a good price.

On this picture I wear a vintage 50s bra from Etsy. I paid it less than 20 euros. It is beautiful and the quality is good.

That's done for this time. If you had questions don't hesitate to comment or send me a message!

Love! xoxo, Lily.
