Vintage and Thrift (RECAP) Thirsty4Vintage SwimSuit Edition

Every now and then we should treat ourselves to a good resale therapy session. I made it to Thirsty4Vintage (a Band of Vintage Collectors) final summer series a couple of weeks ago. It was an amazing afternoon well spent. One thing I must say is when fashion is around, all women form a special bond of sisterhood in the room. The mood was nothing short of fun. I love to see women connect and embrace one another. I think that was the most enjoyable experience for me. Women gathering, sharing ideas, chatting, shopping and of course supporting the amazing vendors.

Kudos to the Thirsty4Vintage crew. All collectors including the special vendors had beautiful pieces, excellent prices and the fashion show was well put together. I look forward to the next one!

 Here are a few photos I took....   Enjoy!

Vintage and Thrift: Tan Jumpsuit



I grew up loving the Cosby Show. In fact, who didn't grow up loving the Cosby Show?!  Every now and then I think of Claire Huxtable and her fashion. (Classic Style Vintage) Lately, especially this week I have been feeling "Clairish"   I found this jumpsuit at Last Chance Thrift Store and automatically thought of Claire.  She sure did use to rock some fly jumpsuits on the show!  Check out how I rocked my Claire Huxtable inspired Jumpsuit.

Vintage and Thrift: Power Tee

Power In One Tee



The wording on this Tee is everything!  I'm a Haitian African American girl born and raised in Brooklyn, New York.  I embrace and love my culture as everyone should love and embrace theirs.  

Wore this Tee last night. Thought the timing was perfect with all this chaotic news I've been reading lately.  Our world is in need of peace,  love and unity.  I pray for a period in time where hate, frustration, racism doesn't exist in our world.  Check out how I rocked my Power In Tee below.

Vintage and Thrift: A Vintage Blouse is Never Out of Style

A vintage blouse can always be the spice of classy to anything you put on. I've always been a fan of pussy bow blouses and anything with ruffles.  It's so victorian and regal. Need a touch of class added to your fit... Always go with a fab vintage blouse.  I found this beautiful blouse from Sumthinoldsumthinnew an online vintage and resale boutique.

Vintage and Thrift: Fashion Bomb Daily Feature!

Guess who was featured in Fashion Bomb Daily?! MEEEEEEEE!  

I've read several submissions in the past and the comments can be a tad bit brutal.  Reading the comments on other submissions made me very much hesitant about submitting my photos. I'm truly grateful to have a loving spouse to convince me to go for it. I put on my big girl helmet and went for it.  The comments were pretty good. Majority of the comments perfectly summarized my style.... Classy, Conservative, Vintage and Ladylike.  My style and taste in clothing will not be the best to everyone but what I do know for sure is that I love what I wear and I feel great in what I wear. I took all the comments into consideration and appreciate each and every critique. This was a fun experience in Fashion Bomb Daily. 



One of my favorite comments from Fashion Bomb Daily Facebook Page.
 "Wait for it... Someone hates pic 2 and 3 when honestly many people don't embrace real fashion these days. Toooo many women think fashion is tight dresses and trends when fashion is really style. I love her looks and how versatile she is. DOPENESS!!"

Vintage and Thrift: Ecologie Floral


I love the feeling of walking around in a fabulous vintage dress. I can just twirl all day with a smile.  I scored this multi-colored floral vintage dress from Ecologie Consignment & Vintage in Kennesaw, Georgia.
