Post-Christmas sale

So, this week I'm having a post-Christmas sale to clear out some of my older stock--everything in the store is automatically 15% off through 12/31. Then, come January, I'll have some great new items, including more knitwear that's perfect for winter! Here's my favorite piece of vintage knitwear currently in my shop (a gorgeous sweater vest in pink and gray):

Colorful vintage coats

I love vintage coats. Most modern coats, unless you're buying from high end labels, don't have the same quality woolen fabrics or the unique detailing that you'll find with their vintage counterparts (isn't this the story of vintage clothing as a whole?). My main struggle is that it's next to impossible for me to find vintage coats with sleeves long enough for my crazy-long arms. The silver lining, especially for you, is that most of the coats I discover won't end up in my closet! Here are a few of the overcoats currently in my shop; these are 1960s wool coats with cool patterns and colors (and who doesn't love a pop of color in their winter wardrobe!):

Welcome

So, I've decided to start a blog to not only share items from my vintage shop with a larger audience, but to talk about my adventures hunting, collecting, researching, and selling vintage clothing. And I'll likely ruminate on fashion and shop owning and life more generally. So, welcome!
