My Shabby Chic Fashion

Hi Yah Mommies:-)

Since the first time I saw  Rachel Ashwell's site about Shabby Chic. Grabeh!!! I became her fan, In fact i love vintage talaga, yung bumo boho ang style.. type na type ko talaga, I even tagged as "kakaiba" pagdating sa fashion ng mga kaibigan ko. I don't know why? basta para sa akin VINTAGE rocks!!!



According to this site,Dressing in shabby chic is wearing the perfect combination of new and antique pieces of clothing and jewelry. The term shabby chic means dressing in vintage-inspired, often layered clothing that evokes a feminine feeling. The antithesis of modern fashion, shabby chic clothing is pastel in color, such as antique rose, lavender, white, gray, butter and pale blue. It's also loose fitting on the body. Usually women dress in shabby chic style, with a big push toward baby clothing that resembles old-fashioned play and values.

Shabby Chic style can be found in fashion. Faded, neutral and pastel-colored linen tops are worn over skinny jeans. Antique jewelry is also a flattering addition to this style of dress. Wear hair in a loose, tousled fashion. - - www.ehow.com

1. 1
   Vintage clothing is what shabby chic it all about. Some worn down clothes but that doesn't make you look like a hobo.Anything with roses in the design is perfect.

   Pure white as well as worn or bleached out pastel colors are perfect for shabby chic clothes. Clothes that are often stained with tea to give the look of old fabric are so shabby chic. Bleached and faded are terms often applied to the style.
