The Best Piece Of Vintage I Own
Is this the best piece of vintage I own?
That is a bit like asking a Mother to choose her favourite child. This late 60’s early 70’s silver vintage lurex jumpsuit is one of my top ten vintage pieces without a doubt.
I didn’t even spot this in the vintage clothing store. I skipped right by it on the hanger. I’m so happy the sales associate picked it out for me. Don’t you love it when sales associates are truly helpful?
This jumpsuit easily made the cut for NYC and the blogger meet-up.
I couldn’t believe it fit me so well when I tried it on. Did I mention how comfortable it is?
And yet, I feel like a movie star in it. It is like having your cake and eating it too.
Is it pants? Is it a dress? It is love?
Oh yes!
This vintage jumpsuit is flashy, unusual and chic. It makes me feel three inches taller and ten years younger. Every piece of clothing in my closet needs to start living up to those standards.
I’m so disappointed that the little vintage store in Elora where I bought this has closed. They have an Etsy store, but it isn’t nearly as exciting.
Ah well, I’ll just be happy with the treasures I scored there over the years, especially this last beauty.
Do you have a favourite item of clothing that makes you feel special?

The 1950’s Vintage Dress That Didn’t Make It To NYC
When I went to NYC for the blogger meet-up I had to pack all of my clothing for five days into one carry-on. This 1950’s vintage dress didn’t make the cut.
The reason? It’s just not WOW enough. Yes, I was seduced by the 100 % cotton, the pleat detailing at the chest (sadly you can’t really see this in the photos) and the tiny blue Forget-me-nots in the pattern. Those are all wonderful details and why I simply had to have the dress even if it wasn’t my “usual colour palette”.
This dress is perfect for days when I want to be sweet, stylish and fly under the radar a bit.
For days when I’m my usual bold, brash self and want to make a memorable impression I rely on one of the other colourful dresses I took with me to NYC.
My accessories were an obvious effort to add some colour to this dress as you will rarely find me wearing white.
Next post I’m going to share another vintage outfit which I did take to NYC that is so insanely BOLD & BRASH you might need to shield your eyes from its blinding awesomeness.
Are you sometimes seduced into buying items you normally wouldn’t simply because it is so unique?
