Vintage clothes is Aimee Phillips' style originally from Bridgend but now lives in London...
Nia: You graduated in fashion, so how does a girl that has so much style shop?!
Aimee: Anywhere cheap - charity shops, vintage shops or designer outlets. Sometimes I'll go shopping and realise quite quickly that I'm not going to have much luck on that day. Maybe on another day, I'll just get that feeling that I'm going to have a good shopping day.
Nia: Where did you get this dress from?
Aimee: Topshop Vintage. I paid thirty pounds for it, which is more than I'd usually spend on an item of clothing. But, it was the night before my work's Christmas party so I had to fin something quick. I like the way someone's sewn the middle to alter the hemline because it was probably too long.
Nia: Is the history of clothes important to you?
Aimee: Yes, that's why I like vintage because of who's worn them before me. I often wonder who they were and what they did.
Nia: When did you wear this dress?
Aimee: For my graduation day to look like a Welsh lady. I wore a peticoat and a daffodil with the dress too, so that everyone knew I was Welsh. I wear the dress every now and again, maybe at Christmas time or during the day to feel special.
Aimee: I like classic clothes that can be worn for years like jeans, everybody likes jeans. I think they're amazing because they grow with you. I also have a denim shirt that's twenty four years old and I still love it! It hasn't gone out of fashion and it won't because it has it's own unique style.
Aimee: I love this dress. I love the pattern on it and love anything that has a floral pattern on it. The colours are fantastig and I got the dress to go to a friend's party in the Cotswolds.
Nia: I have to admit tha when I saw this dress to start, I was a little unsure!
Aimee: Yes, it's nearly like the pattern on the National Express seats! It looks really good with other patterns.
Aimee: I admire Dolly Parton or people which have big hair and eccentric clothes like Dolly had. She was like Barbie - if she went skiing, she had to have the whole outfit!
Aimee on clothes...
As I get older, I get more and more confident with what I wear so my style gets more and more eccentric every day.
