About Living Doll Vintage
I'm just curious how many of my visitors think of vintage only in terms of "costumes"?
I guess I'm just a little sensitive because I don't want to be considered as "wearing a costume" when I'm wearing vintage items.
I wear pieces from the same general time period, as well as mix eras sometimes - as long as they compliment each other and my look in it's entirety. I get many compliments and have not received any odd looks or flat out laughs from anyone, so I believe I don't look like I'm wearing a costume.
When I see groups of people, women especially, and they all have the same basic style of clothing and accessories, I tend to think along the lines of "uniforms" vs. individual style~ that's where my love of vintage comes in.
Unlike the predictable selection of fashions at the mall, where the only difference is the unseen label or flashy, prominently placed logo, Living Doll Vintage offers vastly different, unique and individual clothing and accessories for people who dress to please themselves. The best part is, even when individuallity is what everyone is doing, you are still as different as you choose!
Not everything may be your 'cup of tea', but when that one, true dress or purse catches your eye and you find yourself mentally pairing it with items already in your closet, you know you have to have it~
Stop by Living Doll Vintage and browse around. One day you may leave having found nothing you 'simply can't live without', but on your next visit be absolutely over-the-moon at discovering THE perfect dress, shoes and purse to match!
If you have a taste for fascinating vintage home decor and housewares I invite you to visit my friend Sue at "Susie Sunshine Vintage & More" on Ebay~ That girl knows kitsch like nobody I know!

Think outside the "Vintage Hat" box!
or, when are ear clips NOT ear clips?
I have added vintage touches to my style in so many ways!The afore mentioned ear clips make beautiful hair clips~
Have a stain or spot on your favorite blouse, sweater or jacket? Add a darling or dramatic vintage brooch and no one is the wiser, but you ARE more stylish!
Lost or boring zipper pulls are easily replaced with almost any piece of vintage jewelry - pendants, earrings, pins, even bracelets~
Also, if you haven't yet discovered this, if a vintage item is still lovely and wearable it must clearly be a quality item constructed to very high standards. You can expect it to last for many more seasons with proper care and cleaning. Well stored cashmere sweaters are still luscious and soft after many years. Darling cotton or rayon day dresses can still be a fun and wonderfully comfortable summer staple. Even if the previous owner didn't take perfect care of an item, many times it can be beautifully restored to it's former loveliness.
