THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFT OF MANIFESTING TRUE VINTAGE FASHION – FINDERS’ CLUE #2

Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science.  Having lots of success at it DOES involve many pieces of knowledge, skill and experience that come together.  They seem simple and unexciting by themselves but they have made a big difference in my overall results.  Of course, there are more details involved with each one but the basic idea is where to begin.

FINDERS’ CLUE #2: BE OPEN-MINDED ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR – even if you are seeking a special item, if you are too narrow in your view, you will miss things that are right in front of you.

Hope this helps.  Next clue in two weeks . . . . .

THE MYSTERIOUS CRAFT OF MANIFESTING TRUE VINTAGE FASHION: FINDERS’ CLUE #1

    Finding true vintage fashion items is not rocket science.  However, having lots of success DOES involve many little pieces of skill, knowledge and experience that come together.  They may seem simple and unexciting by themselves, but I’ve learned that they make a big difference in my overall results.  There are, of course, lots more details involved, with each one but the basic idea is where to begin.  There are also myths about vintage that aren’t always true and it’s good to be aware of these.  

TODAY’S CLUE:  GO LOOKING OFTEN.  Of course, you can go as often as you like but once a week is good if you can do that.  You don’t have to buy each time, but look.
