The intent of this blog has always been to embrace this aesthetic and encourage people who may be interested in vintage but are unsure of how to use that in their daily lives. Using vintage beyond style considerations is smart for a whole variety of reasons some of which are the quality of the clothing is in general better, the cost for a lot of it is cheaper, and it's a smart, environmentally friendly way to approach clothing. This isn't clothing to wear and toss, this is clothing to buy, maintain, and keep. By mixing it with modern pieces, you can have a staple to reinvent as time goes on.
In this year, I hope to explore more of this "vintage lite" look, take a peak at vintage items in household items, and examine some vintage dilemmas that I've always faced. For now, let's take a peak at a vintage lite look that I've thrown together and if my waist was small enough you'd never be seeing this skirt until it was mine, all mine.
