Vintage Fashion Friday: Fall Vibes

Fall is here and I am so glad.  I wait all year for it.  I love Halloween and Thanksgiving, also I was born in the fall.   However in Florida it can feel like summer most of the season.  I live for the first cold front so I can be in boots and a chunky sweater with a pumpkin spice latter in my hand.  If the temperature drops even a little I am in a hoodie. Unfortunately there has been no change in weather the and the only weather we are having is Hurricane Matthew.   Luckily, I live on the East Coast of Florida and all we are getting is some wind.  So while I am stuck inside with my air conditioning cranking I thought that I would post some vintage fall fashion.

When I think of fall fashion I think of dresses in plaid, colors that would rival the color of the changing leaves with tights and the scarves of all different colors and textures.

Why I Love Vintage

When I was a little girl I spent the most time with my Nana.  Her house was my favorite place to escape the tension in my house while my parents fought.  My Nana was a hoarder, not like a hoarder that you would see on the TV show, but she had bunches of stuff.  Looking back on it now, amazing stuff.  Things that any vintage lover would go gaga over.  My grandma worked or was a volunteer at Goodwill.  We would spend hours playing dress up, baking and watching old movies.  We loved horror films and Christmas was her favorite holiday.
As a teen my mom would drag me (yes she had to drag me) to thrift stores and garage sales.  I HATED it.  I believe it was the whole teenage angst. My mom has some amazing stuff that I tend to steal from her now.   Love you Mom! 
Which leads us to now...I thought I would turn my passion into a side business.  I am a bartender and am not working right now.  So for the past year or so I have been buying treasures to send off to other people that love vintage.  I started this blog to showcase them and their history.   

If anyone is reading this take a gander through my Etsy Shop and use this code for anything over $15.


Thanks,
