Vintage Forever!


 The pictures say it all.  I love vintage clothing.  I love the style, the colors, and the memories.  I find very little vintage clothing in plus sizes, so I don't get to wear the styles that I find for my daughter.  I have tons of vintage accessories though, and they are pretty much my constant companions.  My sister told me today that it's not good to always buy thrift.  Ahem...where else am I going to find these?  I'm not a fan of reproductions.  

 Case in point:  This pretty yellow dress.  This is a great wear to work or church dress.  Cost:  Minimal.  Compliments:  Off the charts.
   
She wouldn't actually wear this tan and orange print, but she had fun modeling it.  The style is a little "old" for a 24 year old, but you get the idea.  Oh and...it's for sale.

I adore this Leslie Fay blue and black stripe dress, shoulder pads and all.  The waist is pretty tiny...kind of a Krystle Carrington vibe.  

I don't know why I still have this orange overcoat, but it was a welcome sight on this chilly day.  It's a great early fall/spring piece.  It's for sale too.  I don't often advertise on my blog, but somebody needs this size 12 ensemble.  Maybe you?  

I'm getting back into the swing of things, and starting to allow myself to enjoy my favorite things:  thrifting, vintage hunting, styling my daughter and maybe even doing another pop-up.  What am I getting myself into?  I already know.  Two months of lifting, moving, painting, nailing, arranging and rearranging.  I can't wait!
