how to wear vintage.

Let's talk about vintage fashion styling!

Putting together fab vintage outfits takes a little practice and know how. Personally, I'm am a big fan of mixing new with old, and patterns with textures. I think a lot of people aren't sure how to wear vintage. Get brave! Mix and match! You can totally wear vintage too!

Paired together these three basic pieces make an adorable head turning outfit!


They're cute on their own...... but together they are ultra cute!


I think this little outfit looks like something you might see on Jess from "New Girl" (Zooey Deschanel).

The skirt, blouse, and sweater are all available at Second Wind Vintage on Etsy! So the exciting news is this outfit could live in your closet!

What has this dress seen?

I am fascinated by this beautifully crafted dress. I'm pretty sure it's the oldest garment I've laid my hands on.
I can't help but imagine what this dress has been through in it's hundred plus years. In my eyes it is a work of art. It is coming apart in places and has been altered to fit more than one person. Maybe it was worn by a couple women in the same family. 
After putting it on my dress form i started noticing interesting little things about it.


At some point someone relocated or added hook and eye tape. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the original buttons still remained! I went ahead and removed the hook and eye tape and any loose threads I could find.

I am extremely intrigued by this dress, and am trying to find out as much about these types of dresses, as I can. If you have any ifo, please share! 
I believe it's Victorian and at least 100 years old. I want to know if you agree or disagree with my feelings about it.

New Stuff Soon!

Stay tuned for lots of new stuff coming soon!
It's been a crazy week, with my 8 year old son's big surgery and all. 

So until I get some new stuff in the shop, here's a new picture of ME!

Stay Bratty!
