Lol :D<br /><br /><br />Vintage swapping, now that sounds like super idea! This is where I need to live close to a bunch of vintage lovin' gals and organize a clothes swap. Unfortunately, that seems to be one of those ~ If you could meet up/hang out with anyone, who would it be?" type situations. <br /><br /><br />Do it! I want to see what you've made.

I don't have much, but I briefly just bought whatever I found if it vaguely fit or vaguely appealed to me, and I really shouldn't have!! I'd like to swap things or give them to people I know online rather than have the bother of selling them. I'm under the impression there may be some kind of online vintage swap groups but I don't know any more than that. It seems like it would be good.<br /><br />Also, I must finish my straw boater...Tanithhttp://tanithrowan.blogpost.com.au/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-65852090675920025372015-03-26T09:29:16.396+11:002015-03-26T09:29:16.396+11:00:P Yes!

As a collector who loathes to throw things from my collections away, I forget that a wardrobe is not a static collection, but more like a growing reflection of my own personal journeys and lifestyle. It changes and flows ~ it has to to keep up with my life changes! <br /><br /><br />If you really like an item, maybe it doesn't matter if you don't have anything to wear with it right now, because if you continue to like it, high chances are that you will have something to wear with it later on! :D<br /><br /><br />There are still some vintage things I need to sell on though ~ they just don't fit in my wardrobe anymore... :)Bonita Vearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-168869489979696312015-03-25T16:51:32.973+11:002015-03-25T16:51:32.973+11:00You've convinced me CiCi!

I don't have any yellow to wear with it" thing that got me! But like you said, it might go with more that I realize, because I haven't even tried with any other outfits yet. So there is that... :)<br /><br /><br />I think that's a really great point though ~ the uniqueness of vintage can either be a drawing card or a turn off, and it probably all depends on personal style as to how that works out. Definitely food for thought!Bonita Vearnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-46653824108005651092015-03-25T15:58:51.021+11:002015-03-25T15:58:51.021+11:00Haha, that's what I end up doing half the time...Haha, that's what I end up doing half the time as well!

I just can't get over how perfectly your brooch and your hat match. :D<br /><br /><br />I have bought a few things that didn't go with anything I had at the moment in my wardrobe. But, I just let them sit for a few years, and as I built up my wardrobe, replacing worn out things with new, etc. suddenly I had a gazillion outfits to wear with said piece. For example: I bought a straw hat with a lovely red velvet ribbon and funny straw flower. It didn't go with ANYTHING (yes. Not one single thing) I had, but I still loved it. A few years later, I had made myself a 1940s dress, and was trying to figure out what hat to wear with it. When I tried on my straw hat, it was totally meant to be. It was as if it had been waiting for that dress to be worn with it. :)<br />However, f I were selling vintage, I think Instagram might be the way to go, but definitely promote it on your blog if you want people to find out about it before hand.Brigidnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-33660890059202399082015-03-25T00:09:42.494+11:002015-03-25T00:09:42.494+11:00I think there must be lots more things you can wea...I think there must be lots more things you can wear a yellow boater with - I find yellow a really versatile colour. Honestly, just try putting it with random colours, you'll be surprised! If you have any dresses that are monochrome it would be such a great statement piece with them in particular... I love how you've styled it here - is it not worth keeping just to wear this outfit again..? Surely?? I think you've hit on the reason I don't buy much vintage though - so often pieces are so unique and they just don't work with any of my wardrobe, so I talk myself out of buying them...

The colours work beautifully together and that hat pin is adorable.<br />I've recently had some luck selling clothes on eBay, but I find that buyers on eBay are really out to snag a bargain whereas those on Etsy are looking for something unique and are a bit more willing to pay for it.. I think eBay is great for when you need to get rid of a lot of stuff quickly (like I did), but Etsy would be more for if you want to take your time and have the right person pay the right price for it. Definitely pros and cons for both!Taygan Cnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5741326369951948258.post-77232951385880490182015-03-24T12:18:47.462+11:002015-03-24T12:18:47.462+11:00You look just gorgeous!!
