Second time around (or third)

This post is for those ladies who love vintage clothing. Now, we all know that quality vintage does not come cheap. Most stores on the internet advertise vintage pieces that cost far more than contemporary designer items one would find at Nordstrom. But I did do my homework, as always. I have found a couple of places that offer vintage clothing and accessories at reasonable prices. If you long to have a unique style and don't like showing up at a party in the same outfit as the next girl, browsing these sites might be worth your time.



Here are some contenders for purchase from The Culture Vultures:


BROCADE DRESS $12.00
Very Jackie O. I would definitely shorten this one, though. And add a nice thin belt to the finishing touches. Wear with a bead necklace.



VINTAGE HANDBAG OF FLORAL TAPESTRY $25.00

A perfect purse to go with a black coctail dress. Don't forget the stilettos.



King Poodle carries even less expensive (never cheap!) items. Nothing in the store is over $12.

These are some pieces that appealed to me:

1980s Women's Dress $12

Polyester is not for me, but if you like to sweat, the design is cute.



1960s Naturalizer shoes $10

Hey, if you are size 9, these seem to be in good shape (After 40+ years!) And they go with the polyester dress.

You've got a whole outfit for under $25. Can't beat that.
