More than Necessary

Eek! I have been vintage shopping much more than I can afford to right now. But I just keep telling myself, "you have to spend money to make money!" Recent finds include this little boy's Bart Simpson shirt. (The boy knows that blue slushies will inherit the earth.)

I love the swiss-dot lace and sweetheart neckline on this dress so much. So much that I can forgive the awful ruching on the bodice front.

Lastly, a vintage needlepoint nightgown that is massive, but has potential.

Lately, I've been obsessed with acquiring as much real vintage stuff as possible. It all started when I read an interview with Clhloe Sevigny from an old i-D mag talking about how all you could thrift in the 1990s was vintage, but now most things in thrift stores are only a few years old because clothing is so disposable and cheaply made.
