Vintage Chic

Sick of looking like everyone else?  Looking for a new way to express yourself with your wardrobe?  Then invest some time in vintage shopping.  And when I say invest, I mean it.  Vintage shopping takes a lot of patience, profound editing skills, and beneath it all a great eye and innate sense of style.  Scared yet? 

A plethora of websites these days are dedicated to all things vintage – clothing, accessories, shoes – etc… the great thing though is that these sites have all been edited by a pristine eye leaving only the creme de la creme to choose from as opposed to digging through dusty piles at your local goodwill.

Of course there is a price to pay for this service – garments are typically a little pricier than the $.25 find at the Village Thrift but you will be guaranteed an ensemble that will be hard to duplicate. Take this beaded frock from the 80’s for instance that has loads of appeal and ‘tude… If it was my size I would snatch it up (psst… $225.00)! 

My favorite site for the old and the new these days is www.nastygalvintage.com.  The site is chock full of the sweetest threads vintage and new (but with a vintage feel).  I am partial to these fabulous buckled up beauties featured right, that have a distinct Tory Burch feel without the sting of the pricetag.

Sunglasses and other accessories are fab on this site as well and won’t rob your bank account.  Since the flat top sunglasses of the 80’s are hot to trot right now try out a pair yourself to really get the edge going!  I am dying over these gold edged pretties featured left that would be great all year round.
