Stars!

I don't pay attention to what's in style...or what's on the runways....I prefer the classics with a twist of weird.

Fancy schmancy dress with sneakers. Ripped and faded jeans with a silk Edwardian blouse. Long silk black dress with a brown leather jacket.

Over the years I've sold plenty of Vintage to folks who design for the runway...
Lately, a lot of vintage classics have winged their way to NYC, where they all live..

Here's what they're buying....Sperry, Levis, mohair sweaters, old denim....
I have to wonder why someone who has more money than God, would buy old stuff, just like I do. I buy and have worn old clothes my whole life, because that fits my income...I also make my own clothes, and clothes for my family, because I'm arty! and that fits my income!

So, either they're looking for inspiration....but the classics are available in NYC. Or, I think they're mostly wearing the good old vintage because they like the rustic, the patina, the history.
You don't ever get that sense of comfort from day one, when you buy something brand new., (which is, what they make!)....only used clothes can give you that. And, vintage clothes, at the end of the day....are just old clothes!
hee hee....

That's why you see funkomavintage listing a lot of loafers, cowboy boots, slip-ons, deck shoes, tennis shoes and sneakers, denim, Harris Tweed, and all things...... Good quality. Great style. Real materials....wool, cotton, silk, linen, leather, rubber, quality vinyl...

Cole Haan tassel loafers.

Vintage Bass, made in America.

I love blue denim, black or brown leather, plaid, stripes and tiny traditional prints.

You can pair the classics with anything....something classic, or with something trendy, or with something vintage .......and just Instantly....You look fantastic!

Blue denim....

Levis....the best!

Levis are just the best jeans...always have been, and always will be. Fact.

I also love Prom shirts...old vintage ones with ruffles......
Some looks I love.....
J Crew lately has taken the classics and twists them up good !
...I wish they could find models that looked like real women...like, uh, 5'5", and 165 lbs....
