If the hat fits wear it!....




Last weekend my husband and I went to the Mile Long Yard Sale in Lebanon, Tennessee. I must say I went there with an open head (oh my meant mind..... lolol) which is a must when coming across beautiful and affordadle finds everywhere I turn!


As someone who doesn't wear hats, I find myself bargaining over these beauties shown above below. After purchasing the hats I said to myself I would love to incorporate them into my wardrobes.


Looks like you might be seeing me wearing hats and possibly blogging about tips on how to wear some vintage hats, especially smaller ones cause they are a bit complicated pinning them to hair.

Stay tuned " the hat lady in the making"

Oh by the way can you guess which hat is my favorite? respond with a comment!

Hello everyone,

I finally decided to go on with blogging, so this is my first real test on blogger and would appreciate if you would take the time to read it and comment. I will do the same for you.
Thanks for your patience and encouragement as I learn my way around on blogger.


Ok here’s cute vintage dress I pulled out from my vintage collection. Since I’m very visual thought I would add this picture to make it more pleasant to read and wanted to share this amazing vintage dress with you all.





Few things to know when shopping vintage clothing

(1) Know your measurements, not just your size. Online vintage stores advertise in bust, hip, waist and shoulder measurements, not necessarily numbered sizes.
(2) Understand the function of the sites or store you access.
(3) Examine carefully, paying close attention to how the garment hangs on the mannequin or model. Most sites give comprehensive descriptions about each garment, including measurements, damages, fit tendency and unseen details.
(4) Remember that the color of an item may not be as it appears on your screen. Look in the item listing for additional info on color, or e-mail the seller or the store directly and ask for tangible references.
(5) Once you pull the garment out of the box, you should be happy with your purchase!
