Did YOU Know???

Most wardrobes have a life of 10 years. The goal is to collect well made, timeless articles of clothing in neutral coloring (grey, creme, brown and of course black) with defined tailoring that will hit the 10 year mark. Quality as well as craftmanship should be the most important roles into making a wardrobe that will last a decade.
Quick Tip: Pay attention to hardware as well. (metal parts, zippers, buttons, rivets, buckles, and clasps) Make sure they are built to last and won't tarnish, rust or fade.

VintagE

Vintage clothing and accessories are full of class and very iconic.In fashion circles vintage refers to clothing that is more than a decade old. (Mini sequined dresses, long flowing tunics, and cropped Chanel style jackets.) When I think vintage..I think glamour.

Vintage pieces were made to last and some pieces you may buy may cost as much as modern clothing. It's well worth every penny though for a possible one of a kind piece.  The problem that all of us may run into is finding great pieces. I mean it may be old, but no one wants something that is stained and damaged. Here are a few rules to make your shopping experience go alot smoother....after all with vintage shopping you have to be on a mission and keep your eyes open!!!

*Ignore sizes. Vintage clothing sizing is very different from today's sizing.
*Inspect thoroughly before purchasing. Check the outside. inside, zippers, buttons and stitching. We know its vintage but it will cost you extra to get the damaged areas fixed.
*Bargain shop. If the vintage shop is owned by a private owner, try to talk their price down.
*Don't even bother with the shoes. Shoes usually are worn out, so skip footwear.
*Think outside the box and have fun. You can really let your personality shine with fabulous old classic style!!
