THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFT OF MANIFESTING TRUE VINTAGE FASHION: FINDERS’ CLUE #19

     Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science, BUT it does require that many bits and pieces of knowledge, skill and experience come together in order to be really good at it.  These clues may seem ordinary or boring by themselves, but each one has made a big difference in my overall success. Of course, there are more details involved with each one, but the basic idea is where to start.
