My February 2020 vintage fashion resolution is to give someone a vintage makeover. When I wrote that resolution, I didn’t know exactly what I meant, but since then I’ve crystallized the idea: I want to play Vintage Fairygodmother! That’s why I have a giveaway going on over on Instagram:
Now, as much as I love the idea of waving a magic wand, this isn’t actually about me. What I really want to do is to offer a person some vintage clothing from my collection that will both fit and be a bit surprising. What the surprise will be has to do with the person I choose (by random selection). If the winner is new to vintage, anything could be surprising—but if I pull a vintage expert, my job as fairy godmother will include quizzing the person to see what I might do to surprise her.
I’m not going to give someone a suit tailored by Christian Dior (which I’d think would be very surprising to almost anyone!) but I may surprise a 1950s maven with a mod getup, or a 1970s boho-wearer with a WWII home front sweetheart fashion.
This is going to be fun!!
If you’d like to join in the contest, you need to go to my Instagram page , follow denisebrain_vintage and comment on the contest post before midnight PST on Friday, January 31. I’ll be drawing a name on Saturday morning and will post the winner on my Instagram feed.
