I am currently collecting responses from a brief, anonymous, (and maybe even fun) survey, “Vintage for Spring” (click to take the survey yourself), and these are some of the reasons you love vintage:
It’s always a conversation starter especially with older generations. I'm always excited to hear about good memories or wild times from other decades.
I love knowing the item had a previous life and giving it a new one!
…elegant styles that speak of respect, attention to a personal impression or expression and never the fashion/personal "give up" message of, say, track pants.
Amazing how an 80-year old dress looks better than a 10-year old, isn't it?
Unique, quality, history, style—these are the words you used the most to describe vintage:
I also asked what colors you are most excited to wear for spring, and green was the clear winner, followed by pink (are you trying to make me happy, or what?), then various shades of blue.
From your survey responses, I might just have the perfect 1950s spring frock on eBay! It’s all cotton in a stunning rose bouquet border print. Bonus: 50% of the sale price will go to Save the Manatee Club!
I am busy listing greens and pinks, so keep an eye on my Etsy shop—And keep an eye out for spring!
The pink dress is in my Etsy shop now, the green will be soon. Model: Selah French
