Vintage Shop Picks: Suits

By -
I had a job interview last week (got the job, thank you very much) so I've had suits on the brain. If you want a vintage suit, they tend to cost a pretty penny. Lush silks and soft wools up the price but not as much as the rarity of finding all the pieces together in the same condition. You can get some great deals on Etsy as always. Below are some lovely suits for sale online right now. Click the picture to enlarge it.Top: royal blue wool skirt and jacket with rhinestone buttons 1950s, Retro Renegade Vintage on Etsy $55

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog.

From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion.
