If life wasn’t so expensive, I’d spend all of my money on vintage clothes. I know that there are necessities like home owner insurance & food. However, if money wasn’t an object & I could have my dream wardrobe, it would be from the 40s & 50s. I would wear cute pillbox hats & tailored suits. However, there is a downside to wearing vintage clothing, such as:
1. These items can be quite expensive.
2. Most of the clothes require dry cleaning.
3. They need to be ironed to look good.
4. They aren’t the latest style. I’m always afraid to have a complete vintage style complete with the hair & makeup. I feel like I’m in costume.
5. Even if the clothes are in good shape with no visible flaws, they are still 40-60 years old.
6. Not as comfortable as wearing a hoodie & jeans.
I think that I’ll buy a few vintage pieces that I love & then go from there. I can’t help but think “They are so pretty, I want them all NOOOOW.”
