Vintage fashion never really goes out of style (as you probably noticed). Whether it’s just one piece you wear, an entire ensemble or merely the setting you surround yourself with in a photo, no one can deny the appeal of the vintage look. Perhaps, like me, you forgot it even existed after a couple years of getting sucked into online shopping – but it thrives still. The draw of vintage may be the appeal of dressing like someone else, someone exciting from a film perhaps, or maybe it’s just the joy of bringing life to old items of clothing –…

Fashion Feelings: Sheer Dresses & Shirts for Spring
It’s more of a “Fashion Fact” than a “Fashion Feeling”, that sheer dresses, tops and skirts are really popular this spring. Light colors, prints, completely or partially see through – sheer is it. Sheer tops have always been easy to find vintage though if you look at thrift stores, it seems they are often damaged or stained. In high school, I used to give a few sheer tops a go, wearing them with my leather biker jacket and mohawk. It made for a pretty interesting look that I think would actually work quite well if done right, and maybe this…
Fashion Feelings: The 70s Revival
I don’t think it’s a secret, the 70s are making a comeback. Bell bottoms, jumpsuits, crazy patterns. It can’t be avoided, and in both men’s and women’s styles.
Here’s a few from the group that bring the 70s to mind, and with the outdoor concern season really starting, I think this will only become more popular as the summer goes on.

Fashion Feelings: Pattern in patterns
There hasent been the hugest trend in pattern dresses these days but for some reason I feel a tsunami on its way. Maybe its the prospect of spring, which for me wont come for months still, but, Its warm inside so dress like its warm everywhere till you have to worry about the outside..then put on a coat or bitchin sweater (like the one I just bought). After taking a look at the group I’m inspired to take a trip to the thrift store tomorrow, maybe even an overpriced vintage store! or maybe just etsy. check out these Etsy shops…
