A pop of colour from the jumpsuit enhances Hai Ha’s outfit of the week. It might be time to browse the racks at Value Village!

Every once in a while we get that sudden urge to indulge in some retail therapy. That brand new outfit just looks oh so appealing, it's the latest fashion trend, and therefore it is the best, right? We think that this is so that we forget the wonderful pieces we have in our wardrobe. We pay full price for the newest and hottest pieces when they come out, but vintage pieces can coincide with the season's latest and hottest trends too, and they're not nearly as expensive!

The details on vintage clothing can be a great compliment to mixing with basics or if you like the details, highlight them because vintage pieces have their own personality. With many of them, at first sight they may seem too bold, some fits are boxier and maybe you're not sure how you're going to make it work with your wardrobe.

Most fashion trends recycle themselves; the silhouettes, colours and fits from today's fashion are heavily influenced by the past. Of course designers, buyers and people in fashion are always looking for the next fresh trends, but as admirers of style, past fashion can always be a good resource to look for inspiration.

The jumpsuit for example, is a hot item this season! There is a broad range of jumpsuits this season, anything from longer sleeves for daywear or strapless and fitted for a night outing. It is such an easy piece to wear, it flatters many figures since it is nipped at the waist and accentuates an hourglass figure.

Oversized jackets and blazers are also hot items this season that have carried over from last season, another is a staple vintage silhouette. The oversized look is not for everyone, but for those of you who don't want that boxy look but love the details or print of your boxy jackets, wear them open. Let the silhouette of what you're wearing underneath be the main focus point.

In this outfit for example, the bright cobalt blue button-up jumpsuit has an elastic waist that will emphasize a small waistline. The boldness of the colour is complemented by the oversized blazer. Both silhouettes work together to create a casual-dressy look that is ready for a meeting, day event and networking event. The bag is from Aldo a few years back, from a collection that was inspired by vintage details (see, you can mix pieces from your wardrobe in with vintage pieces).
