My Quest For Clothes

Well I am off to a good start. I added some more clothes to my shop but not all are vintage some are from the 90's and the beginning of the 2000's if thats such a term to use. I have been having fun seeking and finding what I think one would like and that includes shoes, hats and belts.

I bought a few books on the subject but haven't had the time to really read as I am taking pictures, editing them and trying to write something about the piece of clothing, shoe or belt. Yes it does take time since I have a few websites and need to take care of them also.

Here are a few more pics to look at!

Starting Out in Vintage Fashions!

Well I am finally taking the plunge. Been wanting to do it for a long time and that is to sell vintage clothing. I opened a Ruby Plaza Shop and have been adding vintage clothes for the past few months, been a little slow at it as I am finding time to be a problem.

I love vintage clothes whether from the 1700's to the 1900's. I find then romantic, enchanting, lovely and just cute! My growing up years were when I reached 17, so I can say the clothes of the 70's to the 80's were when I appreciated fashion. The 50's and early 60's, my mom dressed me, and not bad at all, she was fashionable and dressed my sister and I on a very tight budget with a lot of hand-me-downs which she altered and made to fit.

I have never lost that concept since today I buy vintage clothing at the thrift stores, auctions and wherever I can find them. I love wearing them and now I love to sell to those who have a desire for vintage clothes.

Since I am a beginner there have been challenges to purchase, many mistakes and probably will be more. I will share some of the clothing I started with, they are cute, different and very wearable!
