Wait. Let’s back up to the new fashion in old clothes. What do I mean? you ask? Well. I just got tired of the blue jeans and blah top from Old Navy look that produced a frumpy, slightly chubby look for me. It was just O.K. But it was also art-less. There was no joy in putting the “outfit” together. It was just maintenance. And I was getting tired of paying even a small amount of money on clothes that would fall apart within days of wearing them! grrrrr.
So I decided that the old navy frumpy Emily was not allowed to go to France. I started looking at name brand, designer and couture clothing for inspiration. I looked here and here. Fun huh?
But I still didn’t want to nor could I pay the money for the looks. SO. Voila la Thrift Store! And here is the results:

Apparently I am drawn to a more vintage chic look than anything else. Oh and skirts. The skirt is the cure of the frumpy blah feel! Brilliant! Now I feel artsy and feminine and creative and inspired and full of life! And I am now ready for France. Well, at least my wardrobe is. Now I just have to put it all in one of those billion suitcases. sigh.
Oh and if you want to shop vintage thrift “locally” check out this! Love it!!!
I have a few more looks to share but I haven’t captured them on camera yet. If you were at Vineyard this past Sunday you got to see the blue tights with the fun brown and green skirt already. And some lovely finds are still waiting for the right accompaniment to compliment them. Stay tuned…
Oh wait! I forgot. Please also share any places that you have found great vintage finds! Online? Another blog? Local store…perhaps somewhere in Paris? Share the vintage love people.
