Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science, but there are many elements of skill, knowledge and experience that come together if you are going to be really successful. These tips may seem boring or obvious by themselves, but have each made a big difference in my level of success. Of course, there are many more details involved with each one, but the basic idea is where to start.
CLUE #16: HAVE PATIENCE
The old saying is as much true here as with anything you do – maybe even more.

We can still look bright and sunny while staying warm and toasty as the temperatures are dropping. Chenille, quilting and fashionable style kept women feeling chic and comfortable.
There’s nothing nicer than feeling warm and snug when the wind is blowing outside and leaves are falling. Gray clouds and brown leaves don’t have to darken our moods, however . . . . . ..
Just wrap yourself up in one of these, listen to some upbeat music or read about some good news while your sip your coffee/tea – 1 , 2 , 3 abacadabra! . . . . . . . .. . .

Wonderful dressing gowns from the 1940’s, or maybe even the 1930’s. These are made of rayon with great classic style.
The peachy pink one allows you to sweep into the room with a grand entrance. It has padded shoulders and a little bit of an elongated hem in back – an actual “train”! The flowered one is a little more a’la Blanche Dubois. (A Streetcar Named Desire (play by Tennessee Williams, set in New Orleans – watch it; great movie starring Vivien Leigh and Marlon Brando; a classic). Flowered and sweet – very feminine and demure.
Gowns like these are more or less a morning version of the men’s smoking robe. Perfect to wear while enjoying your first cafe’ au lait of the day. . .. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ..
