Wearing Vintage in Today's World

Ever think about the benefits of wearing vintage clothes in today's world? There are many benefits to this including recycling which is great for the environment, being "green" in your clothing choices, affordability, well made clothing of quality, being unique, wearing something rich with history, freaking other people out and just plain looking cool!

Whenever I go to my "day job," I get the feeling my co-workers are just waiting to see what "crazy" outfit I'm going to show up in this time :) Whether it's a pair of platform Famolare shoes, lace up Zodiac boots, or an insanely printed dress or disco shirt, they are always left in amazement. The thing is, I just love vintage and will never stop wearing my treasures. It takes the baby boomers back to the days of their youth, and gets them to tell me fantastic stories about the 60s and 70s. I hear "oh, I had a pair of go-go boots!" or "I used to wear a sheath dress just like that one!" Vintage clothing is joyful and inspiring and brings out the best in people, whether it's a look of amusement or sweet nostalgia.

My 36th birthday is fast approaching and I will be going for a night out on the town. What incredible vintage outfit will I be wearing? Well, I guess you'll just have to wait an see... ;) Stay tuned!
