Possibly I am obsessing over great vintage finds these days – and when I saw these pumps? Oh my 😉

Now some people would think of these as “Fall” season shoes. Au contraire! Think about it: this is June. I would wear these today, with a white wiggle dress. Sleeveless. Black and/or brown piping or square neckline. Sleeveless. Big white earrings. Bangles out the yazoo. Can’t you see it?

And then yes, come fall, pull out the Classic Black Suit (vintage of course), add brown Chanel belt and bag (hey, we can dream) and you will look like a million bucks.

These shoes? Def part of that look. Love it.

And bonus! These are available at Sweet Nancy Vintage shop on Etsy – and she is moving cross country – everything is ON SALE. Go shopping there – you will thank me!

This embroidered vintage bag is pretty, it’s fun, and it can totally make your summer outfits 🙂

Love the colors – and the embroidered heron bird! And on the practical side, it’s big enough to hold your necessary stuff (about 10″ x 9″) but small enough that it’s not going to weigh a lot. You could dress it up (imagine with a white or red cheongsam!) – or down, with your basic white tank and cutoffs. You see what I mean.

And? It is super affordable – only $15.00! I found it in a lovely Etsy shop called Thrifthound 2000 and the owner has LOTS of fabulous buys. I mean, a black tank bodycon jumpsuit for $14.00, wear it if you dare! And more. Lots of goodies, lots of bargains, and bottom line? Cool, unusual, vintage, and affordable.

This is a win 😉

That simple title doesn’t do this dress justice. This cute little garment could be a summer classic!

This is a good, maybe great, basic spring or summer dress. You could wear it on a cool evening with a little cashmere cardigan, or white bolero, fitted. You might add a black patent leather belt, and white button earrings. Or, go to the other side of the Force, and envision Madonna in the 80s – okay, this would have been costume dressing for her, but so what? Find some BIG hoop earrings, and bare bare stilettos, or gladiator sandals, or go back to Audrey and Givenchy and wear ballet flats.

I’d add a crinoline, myself. Talk about making your waist look smaller – just add a petticoat. Big fluffy twirly hem plus fitted waist equals SMALL waist. Us girls are clever that way.

It’s available from Dusk Till Dawn Vintage and not only is this shop full of terrific goodies, but they are AFFORDABLE goodies. A secretary’s top that looks good – for $8.00. Vintage cowboy boots for $45.00. You get the idea. Even if these treasures are gone soon (and they will be) – this shop has a rep for good value and great finds.

I mean, talk about win-win. And this green dress? Okay, if not black patent, how about bright red? Button earrings. Bangle bracelets. Big straw hat. Jackie sunglasses. Love it.

Holy toledo, this is a great dress. Yes, you could wear it right now – it’ll look great in winter, with high heeled pumps (of course) and maybe some oversized pearls. But I’m already thinking about Spring – and this fab dress will carry you right through Easter.

Can’t you see it with turquoise lucite, or white, or bright red jewelry for contrast? And little strappy sandals on a warm spring day? (well yeah, high heels – but still, sandals). Maybe demure white gloves.

Yeah, demure. That’s the ticket 😉

This dress is available from One Trick Chassis – Classic Vintage Threads on Etsy and J.J., the shop owner, has some great finds over there. The guys’ suits – the red swing coat – the leather bags – well, you’ve just got to go look, that’s all. By the time you see this, Christmas has come and gone (or at least, you’re ready for it) – it’s maybe time for a small indulgence just for you. And, well, thinking about Spring.

You know you want to!
