Any time that I set out to track down a very specific kind of piece
of vintage clothing, it's exciting like it's a treasure hunt. I guess
that it would help more if I actually found some gold that would help me
pay off my student loans, but you can't wear gold. So I stick to
finding dresses and things like that. I just love wearing a prize of all
that vintage shopping.
I use my clear
a lot to find some of this stuff. I get in touch with store owners,
find new stores and bid on stuff on auction sites. But most of the time I
definitely prefer to see and try on the pieces in person rather than
bid for it on an auction site. It's important to actually look at the
piece from all angles so that you can see if it has anything wrong with
it.
I do a whole lot of thrift store shopping
too. Not everything I wear is vintage. I've found some of my favorite
pieces at thrift stores, plus it helps fill out the rest of my wardrobe
at a really great price.
