    Show Us Your Purchases!

    Thanks! :) I spend hours combing thrift shops. It has taken me a couple of years but I can now spot out vintage on a rack of clothes in a matter of seconds. I have also bought a Chanel suit, a Leonard silk dress and many other designer outfits for $10.00 or less! I buy them, decide I...

    Can a man appreciate vintage and be metro?

    Well if it's any comfort to you many women find the five o'clock shadow very appealing on a man. I happen to love it. :D. I love classic manliness and hope it never goes away. I steer clear away from men who are too pretty in the classical sense (think Brad Pitt or Tom Cruise). If they are...

    I did alright today. I found this dress that is driving me crazy dating wise though. It is slightly faded, has the buttons that were so popular in the 40's and the original places for the shoulder pads looks like the same fabric that is on my 40's suits (someone put in newer ones that I am...

    Where is the collectors market for vintage clothing?

    Well I just went to a local thrift and scored very well with another 40's dress and a pair of vintage Sailor Pants that actually fit me this time (they even have the sailor's name and serial number on there which I thought was very cool). The thrifts are the only place I can find vintage...

    Can a man appreciate vintage and be metro?

    Carey Grant and many other men in the Golden Era took care of themselves and were always impeccably groomed, but they made it look effortless and not done on purpose (if that makes sense). They also had a sense of distinction and charisma that oozed out of them and were very masculine but in a...

    Who Here is Wearing their Spring Dresses this Weekend??

    Squeeee!!!! Spring Fever has hit me big time today ladies. It is going to get up to the mid 60's here in Central Massachusetts today and I am wearing my 1st spring dress. I have a cardigan over it to keep me warm but it looks so cute on and I am more comfortable than I normally in when...

    Where is the collectors market for vintage clothing?

    I have spent the past couple of days going to antique shops and an auction and have been very disappointed in their vintage clothing. I actually asked one of the women if she ever got anything besides hats and purses and she said very rarely and she doesn't go out actively searching for it...

    Your local stations

    I am glad you are listening again!! It's all I have going on in my radio. If you get a chance listen to Voices of Jazz tomorrow at 10am. It's my favorite Friday segment. I don't remember WCRN 10 years ago, but did listen to it a couple of years ago when they played a lot of 50's music (not...

    Your local stations

    I litent to 90.5 fm which is a public radio station. They pay jazz and folk and I always tune in on Friday's when they play voices of jazz (lost of 40's music then). And on Saturday when they have their Big Band Brunch and Jazz Matinee where they play a lot of 30's and 40's jazz.

    eBay fit woes

    Well I for the most part am done on eBay. I am bidding on one more dress and I can tell it's going to fit by looking at it on the manni. I have lucked out so far and every dress I ordered has fit me, but I still freak out and worry it won't happen. I am praying my sailor pants fit. It's a...

    Went to Goodwill today and picked up the two below for $1.00 each. Both of them look really cute on, but not so cute on the manni as she doesn't have the curves you need to do them justice. Blue and White Polka Dot Pantsuit Baby Blue and white play suit/romper. My legs look so good...

    Fear of the feminine

    I have no problem not being totally groomed every day. In fact, I wear only lipstick and a little blush on the weekends because I like giving my skin a change to breath (unless I am going somewhere out of the ordinary). I can feel just as feminine in a pair of jeans and a t-shirt as I do a...

    Daisy, I am at my happiest when I am shopping. I would rather do that than anything else. I blame my mother who used to take us shopping as kids whenever she was down. She passed the trait onto moi. :o :rolleyes: . I would love to check out the vintage shop you were talking about! That...
