Let's Talk Vintage

We are always browsing different vintage sites and blogs to see what other people are finding out there. Vintage lovers have to stick together, ya know?

All winter we have been hunting awesome finds to bring to our shows this spring. A couple of hot items we are keeping our eyes peeled for right now are sexy menswear items for us ladies. The bowtie and "Peter Pan" collar, if you will, are really chic and classy. One awesome blog we follow is The Vintage Valley. She had a few pics of the bow tie/collar look. She is definitely a new favorite of ours!


Polka dots are also really in right now. We love polka dots! They are the perfect cute, fun, and flirty pattern for summer.  We snagged a fab polka dot blouse at a sale a few weeks ago and we can't wait to show it... AND it had a bowtie collar. Score.

Another blog/website we LOVE is Gary Pepper Vintage. They have everything, but their dresses for this spring really inspired us.
   

The trick is, once you find a dress with a pattern or color you like, shorten it! We've seen so many people pass up an awesome dress just because it was too long and frumpy. Altering is super easy, and so worth it! If it's a bold, busy pattern, all you'll need is a pair of kick ass flats or sandals and the right accessories for a cool, laid back but girly look. If it's plain but an awesome color, pair it with a sexy pair of lace design tights and a cool vintage necklace(we have tons of those). Stay tuned for a sneak of the dresses we've found for our spring shows!
