That title sounds a little like an STD.
Anyway... I know that in my last post I went on and on about how my day-to-day wardrobe is not inspired by anything particularly "fashiony." Not out of a dislike for fashion. I love fashion. But out of a sort of laziness and an overwhelming love of the V-neck. But now, I realize that my last post is only mostly truth. Yep, that's right. Lately, I have the "vintage itch." And what is more fashion-forward than vintage?
In the last few years, I haven't owned very many vintage pieces - but when I was little I was obsessed. My mom used to buy me vintage box hats and silk gloves and I would wear them to church. I was probably overdressed... edging towards flamboyant... but a four year old doesn't know what that means (I wish I could still wear hats... but I can't find any that will fit my head. Sad but True.) Now, I only own 4 or 5 pieces, but whenever I wear them, I feel like a million dollars.
Well, the other day, I saw a link to this blog... and it stirred up my obsession. It also solidified my desire to start an Etsy. I have wanted to create an Etsy for about the last 6 months... but I was afraid. Mostly of failing. But I have talked to the huzbin, and it's official. I will start collecting vintage items at the beginning of next month; and hopefully I will have a shop open within the next 60 days.
Wish me luck!
Here are some of the dresses that inspired me:
