i ♥ vintage, the true vintage...stuff my mom and grandma wore in the 60-70s...i used to have my whole wardrobe from them. But since i have had my son i don't quite wear my size 8-10 any more, lol! I still have a few pieces that fit, tho.

Only a bit, but I have to go thrift shopping more often. I have a friend who has the best thrift luck ever.

Vintage as in thrift stores, etc.? (I'm with jgasia, I don't even know what that term means any more.) One of my friends is a genius with thrift stores - she can pick out these amazing pieces that everyone lusts after. I get overwhelmed by the masses of stuff and usually end up leaving with, at most, a handbag or three.

Only a few pieces of my clothing are vintage but a TON of my jewelry is vintage. I like mixing modern and vintage together as well. BaltimoreGal

I have a question... what constitutes vintage? The term seems to be used A LOT... I saw someone say vintage BeBe the other day :?

I collect vintage clothing and accessories, concentrating more on the vintage designer side of that. My big love is vintage purses though and I'll buy whatever tickles my fancy regardless of label. Anyone have any good suggestions on altering vintage pieces? Normally, I only buy what will fit me, but I just bought this vintage dress (it was Halston and the seller didn't even know it!! I love finds like that) and it needs to be taken in. Its from the 70's, jersey/rayon type fabric. If anyone has any ideas, let me know!! Thanks!
