Faux Vintage

I feel that my first post was a bit rushed, so I wanted to reiterate the basics. Just this once.

• My blog will cover the fashion of the first half of the 20th century, 1900-1950 (and a little into the '50s). The '30s and '40s are my passion, so expect to see lots on that! I want to cover men and women's fashion, but women's fashion will be the main focus.

• To be honest, I know next to nothing about buying vintage clothing. I do know that, in many instances, if one is lucky enough to acquire real vintage pieces, there very often is the drawback of very delicate fabrics. While I adore real vintage, I really cannot afford it and I know others share my predicament. Therefore, when I can, I seek out modern clothes that resonate with vintage style, usually at second-hand stores--which is almost just as exciting as chasing down the real articles.

• Instead of focusing on vintage-only clothing, I hope to demonstrate ways vintage looks can be achieved with modern clothing and accessories. Also...

• I love antiquing! I will feature any wonderful finds I come across.
