I do see the need for such a term and can instantly pull to mind the general aesthetic that it conveys, but do personally tend to wear the same types of clothing that you mentioned (and feel those terms encapsulate my personal style better). So true about the durability of repro. I feel the same is true for a lot of my 80s does 40s and 50s pieces, too, which is no small part of the reason that I live in them the whole year round (plus when it comes to dresses, a lot of them have elastic waists, which is a huge plus for me and my health).<br /><br />Definitely! :) I can easily go months, if need be, without adding new garments to my closet (save for if a super basic piece, like say a new winter coat, was required), but with accessories and jewelry, that's a whole 'nother kettle of fish. :) It's quite rare for me to go more than a few weeks without adding at least one new addition on that front. Really, given how small they often are and the fact that they don't have to break the bank, how can any vintage fashionista (with the room for such in her budget, that is) not do so? :)<br /><br />Your watermelon purse from Bow & Crossbones sounds amazing! I'll definitely have to pop by their website and check it out, if they're still in stock. I really like watermelon themed items and even have a super fun beige coloured 70s does 40s/50s skirt with a watermelon slice applique pocket on it. :)<br /><br />Oh, could you imagine? If he took all those snaps and left no details with them just to create a riddle of sorts for future generations. That would be such a dedicated, detailed prank. Who knows, maybe that is the case - or perhaps he was just ahead of the trend when it came to loving selfies. :D<br /><br />Thank you very much for your awesome comment and lovely congrats. It truly is sweet and thoughtful of fellow bloggers (and Instagrammers) to share their CV purchases online. I utterly adore seeing how folks style the pieces they buy from my shop and knowing that they've found such loving new homes. <br /><br />Tons of hugs & the very happiest of mid-July wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-48356893539075510712016-07-18T10:47:19.200-07:002016-07-18T10:47:19.200-07:00As you already know, I am officially behind with y...As you already know, I am officially behind with your blog, but you also know that I read everything. ;) I truly enjoyed this long list of goodies. What I especially want to mention is:<br /><br />Modern vintage - I don't understand the "war". I stick with your terms: vintage, vintage appropriate and repro. As long as it is fifties styled, it doesn't have to be the real deal to me. In fact I love my repro dresses a bit more, since my fifties dresses are so fragile.<br /><br />Capsule wardrobe, I've never heard of such, and feel just like it is explained here. I love a lot to choose from, and have carefully built the perfect (for me) wardrobe, consisting of things I wear, that becomes me and is just my style. Why should I get rid of it? What I also love about buying vintage dresses, is that I can always sell them again if I should get tired of them.<br /><br />Shopping my own closet, that's a lovely term and right up my alley. I don't need anything either, and get so excited when I find something I can honestly justify I really need! ;) But jools are always an exception. <br /><br />The Accessory article, it was very charming, and I feel just like you - out in the sunshine with our wicker purses. I bought a vintage style watermelon wicker purse from Bow & Crossbones, and I LOVE it!<br /><br />The Photobooth man, was fun. I think he was a repair man, but wonder why he has kept all the photos? Perhaps some strange sort of humor. He has thought that one day everyone would wonder why!<br /><br />Marriage after 42 years,ha! It "only" took DH 11 years to make me marry him. ;) They are so cute.<br /><br />Congratulations on all the bloggers featuring CV purchases. It is so lovely to be appreciated (and get free advertising). :)<br /><br />And PS: I want a beach tent just like that pronto! Wishing you a lovely day, dear. :)SANNEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12973437247117000140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-24361185684968566662016-06-14T00:48:02.608-07:002016-06-14T00:48:02.608-07:00That's so cool about your DH and you both bein...That's so cool about your DH and you both being summer babies, too. Yay!

I'm sooo hoping to be able to play my first order with that awesome looking Etsy shop this summer or fall - at the very least, before Xmas, so that I can put together a look that involves one of their super cute Christmas pudding pins. <br /><br />We did indeed! It was a little little event with a very good turnout. The organizer mentioned to me (on FB) after the fact that they may be holding another one in the fall, and if they do, I'll definitely try to make it to that sale as well. I didn't come home with too many items, either for myself or the shop, but a couple of finds were had in each case and I met some really lovely folks that I hadn't encountered on the vintage selling scene here before, so the day was a total win in my books. :)<br /><br />Thank you so much for your latest (wonderful!) email. I've begun brainstorming my questions and have every hope and plan of getting the final ones to you in the next 1 - 3 days. <br /><br />Tons of hugs & happy mid-June wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-77648005394283968272016-06-13T19:30:54.912-07:002016-06-13T19:30:54.912-07:00Oh Happy early birthday to you and Tony!
