Fashion: Affordable and Upcycled

This post is written by contributing author Paige Ronchetti.

One of my favorite fashion shops on Etsy is Famhouse Vogue, a lovely collection of upcycled clothing. The shop is at the top of my This Is Awesome list because even though the items are made entirely from vintage fabrics, they have been re-worked so well that you would never know they weren't made this year. Plus, and this is another huge bonus, most items are under $35.

Everything is just so darn pretty, and it makes me wish I could go twirl around in a meadow. This yellow dress, for example, would be great for that. And it's only $32:

This tangerine blouse is another sunny option, and is a very affordable $21:

And I'm loving the new peplum trend for this summer. This skirt is made with a vintage apron (smart!), and will also run you $21:

So if you're in the market for a pretty spring outfit, definitely consider Farmhouse Vogue. They have recently started carrying a few vintage items as part of their collection, too, so all your bases are covered.

Are you a fan of upcycled/repurposed clothing? Have you ever made any yourself?
