Reasons I love vintage: high quality for great prices, original looks, different textures, it opens up styling opportunities, and many more.
What I think about when I wear vintage: the stories. I happen to love when I get the providence of a piece I’m buying; but, even when I don’t, I can’t help but think about the original owner. Did she wear the dress on a date? Did she get her first job in the suit? What did she love and lose in the jacket?
Vintage is the best combination of my loves fashion and storytelling.
And vintage like this vintage tweed? It’s everything.
First-tweed is a great thing to buy vintage. The quality and detail are just superior. Second, I love that this dress can be a dress, a cape (yes, the belt goes underneath the back, giving you a bit of swing!), and a coat (it goes great with jeans). Versatility? Another reason to love vintage tweed. The suede lining, pockets, and the addition of these vintage gloves are details I swoon for.
I can’t help but wonder: who wore it first? Was it freezing when she wore it? Did she twirl in it, like I wanted to?
And if vintage stories aren’t your thing, you can add modern touches and change the feel completely (aka these booties).
This vintage tweed find is via FeatherStone Vintage, one of my favorites, and a place to add to your shopping list!
