Haha, of courseeee.
Okay, so instead of searching around google for random photos, I found a few off the clothing site. You can use these for inspiration if you want.

okay, in these pictures you'll see a lot of highwaisted pants, floral, and plaid. skirts are really in now. just put a simple floral skirt with a solid top and cute wedges/gladiator sandals.

i'll link you to a few things that are neccessities if you're going for the look.

this is the floral i was talking about. it's easy to match up, just stay with the classic soft girly colors. :)



BEFORE YOU LOOK AT THIS LINK! READ!
these are Coco Chanel dresses/outfits based off of formal 20's styles. if you look, a few of the models are working the lacey/patterned legging. these are really in, too. of course, i don't think you would want to go out and buy a full dressy outfit like this, but basing your style off of good designers and using the old trends to your advantage will help a LOT. look again at the picture, SHOES! if you look, they're working close top heeled shoes. these are also in.
just take bits and pieces from designers work (like the leggings and shoes) and use it for your own wardrobe.

*sorry for the long link*
look at the buttonup top the model is wearing in the picture. you could either put on simple heels like in the photo, or work with a unique flat like this. (it looks like a mix between an old fashioned men's shoe, and a gladiator sandal):

an example of a summery dress that again, brings back classic patterns:

pullover sweatshirt, easily goes with jeans and sandals/wedge heels:

SKINNY JEANS..
okay, i know you may be a little skeptical, but if you really want to go for a vintage style, flares won't work.. bootcut are okay in small moderation, but skinnies usually work best if you have cute shoes and an interesting top.
PacSun has a sale every now and then, but they can get expensive, try discount places for cheap skinny jeans. Macy's is a good place to look.


its always good to have a basic button-up. (you can get these almost anywhere. <3):

Accessories, if you waaant..

any of the things on that page would be good for the style you're looking for.



Disclaimer? Kind of..
I wasn't sure what exactly you wanted, because I didn't get much background of what you wear now vs what you're going for. The 20's, 80's, 60's time periods can be found in all of these clothing pieces. It's all about what appeals to you. As I said, you can find lookbooks on google, just search 20's or vintage and you're bound to come across something. :) I tried my best to give you a little insight as to what is considered vintage these days.

If you want other examples or if you need anything, just let me know. :)
