I am counting down the days until spring arrives. I can’t wait to pack up my winter boots, jackets, and scarves. While spring doesn’t usually necessitate tank tops and flip flops, I do enjoy wearing beautiful pastel colored short sleeved shirts at this time. To stay warm during the cool spring mornings and nights, I often slip on a colorful sweater over my short sleeved blouse. Sweaters are a great way to bridge the gap in your wardrobe between the cold winter months and the hot summer months. If you currently don’t own any spring sweaters, now is a great time to stock up on them. On this blog, you will learn how to find the perfect sweaters to match your spring shirts. Enjoy!
If you have suddenly found yourself in the market for some new clothing and you have decided to opt for the vintage look, you might find yourself concerned as to where you will find a lot of quality pieces. It will take a little searching, but if you look in the right places, you should be able to find everything that you need.
Online Shops
There are a lot of online shops that you will want to take a few minutes to search through. Look for both the major online vintage clothing retailers and the smaller shops set up through specialty auction sites. When you are shopping online, it is important to make sure that you are taking the time to carefully read through the measurements of the pieces that you are considering buying instead of counting on the size on the label. This is because the measurements for some sizes may have changed over the years so you will want the measurements for the most accurate fit.
Yard Sales
Believe it or not, many people luck out at yard sales when it comes to finding vintage clothing. It is important to check out as many as you can, since you never know when you will hit the jackpot and be able to walk away with an entirely new vintage wardrobe for a reasonable price. However, even if all you can find is a random vintage piece here and there, it will be worth the hunt as you will be able to wear it with pride.
Older Relatives
If you have some older relatives that are about the same size as you, or at least used to be, you might want to consider asking them if they have any vintage clothing stashed away that they would be willing to part with. This can be an easy way to start to look at a variety of vintage styles without having to spend a lot of money to do it. Even if you have not seen any of your relatives wearing vintage clothing, it would not hurt to ask. You might be surprised at how much some people will hold on to over the years for one reason or another.
The sooner you start looking for a variety of vintage pieces, the sooner you will have so many outfits that you will not have to worry about repeating the same exact look too often.
