What a confusion.

It seems I am in good company here, it's like listening to myself! Thanks ladies. I guess I'll stick to the 50s-60s style that suits me, and it's easy, with a dress here and there from the 30s, 40s...

I guess being a presentable, well groomed lady is the mostly vintage part of... dressing vintage. It's the common factor, rather than choosing and sticking to one particular style or decade. Which is a sad fact for the low, looooooowwwww standards of today...

You said it perfectly!

I don't have anything to add to the advice already given. I wanted to say I love browsing through the threadsand find the question and answers to the very problem I've been mulling over for the past couple of months.
