One high-end seller that may be familiar to many readers who enjoy sprinting around the internet looking at gorgeous old school clothing (count me in there!), is Posh Girl Vintage. From designer vintage dresses to virtually mint condition coats, suits, accessories, and other expertly hand-picked items, this online seller stocks their proverbial shelves with a trove of beautiful, highly covetable items.
Whenever I meander through Posh Girl’s stock I feel as though I’ve been transported back into to the costume and wardrobe section of a movie production studio during the middle of the twentieth century. There are so many stunning items in their constantly updated stock (they have quite a high turnover, so if you see something you simply must have, it’s worth buying right away), that I find myself with much the same sensation as a child in a toy shop, surrounded by a fantastic world of fun, beauty and joy.
Presently Posh Girl is running a secret 20% off sale on all of their merchandise (I believe it started on either Sunday or Monday of this, and is slated to last for a total of two weeks from that date). I truly hope that the lovely folks at Post Girl won’t mind me sharing this secret with my readers; I really thought it was worth blogging about, as I know a sale like this may make the difference for many people in terms of whether or not they can afford to shop at higher-end online vintage stores such as this one. If you’d like to take advantage of this terrific sale, use the word secret as the coupon code upon checkout.
Should I ever find myself the lucky winner of a lottery or the benefactor of some wonderfully kind soul’s life fortune (hey, a girl can dream ;D), I will most certainly buy from Posh Vintage, in the meantime though, I’ll continue to dream about owning some of their positively spectacular pieces, such as the handful I’ve highlighted below (please note all prices are in US dollars).
{One look at this sophisticatedly elegant frock (which fits up to a 34 inch waist) and you feel as though you’ve been transported back to the closet of a very fashionable woman from the 40s. Navy blue with floral pattern swing dress, $289.00.}
{Like a miniature work of art, this strikingly beautiful hat from the 1930s would look ravishing with a smartly constructed suit or a well tailored coat during those chillier fall and winter months. Black tilt hat, $239.00.}
{What a gorgeous dress for day or night! This black and white, short sleeved, bow neckline frock would look incredible no matter when – or where – you wore it! 1950s Suzy Perrette dress, $298.00.}
{And for another wonderful bow bedecked piece, what about this whimsically sweet full skirt? Paired with a cute blouse or button up cardigan, its relatively neutral colour pallet would work well with a pieces in a range of hues. 1950s bow print full skirt, $189.00.}
{Pretty as a bowl full of cherries and just as colourful, this lovely dress and matching bolero would be in heavy rotation all summer long if they lived in my closet. 1940s red swing dress and matching bolero jacket, $289.00}
{Sport the iconic epitome of 1950s chic eyewear with these darling cat’s eyes frames. Silver grey plastic sunglasses/frames, $145.00.}
{With its over-sized pocket and lovely shoulder details, this timelessly sweet day dress would be perfect for an afternoon spent running errands or just bopping around the house and garden in. 1950s button back day dress, $189.00.}
{Give more volume to all of your favourite full skirts and dresses with this femininely sweet vintage petticoat. White 1940s petticoat, $138.00.}
{Bring on the Tiki bar! In this cheery, gorgeous tropical print dress you’d be ready for any sort of summer island get-together. 1950s Royal Hawaiian dress and matching bolero jacket, $436.00.}
While Posh Girl’s prices do veer on the somewhat pricier side, I feel it’s worth noting that the quality and condition of their stock is generally impeccable, they offer layaway on orders over $300, and they’ve been voted best vintage clothing site by Seventeen magazine. Top quality items in any fashion field generally fetch higher prices, this is absolutely understandable and I certainly don't have any qualms with this point, even if it means I can't always shop from more expensive sellers.
I adore a lot of the items Posh Girl stocks and truly hope that one day I’ll be able to call myself a customer (instead of just an admirer) of theirs. Do the items at this stellar vintage store make your heart sing as well?
