    Comments You Get When You Dress Vintage

    i usually get nice comments, last night my niece told me I looked like "an old fashioned movie" ;) My hubby on the other hand.. I was lamenting about having to sell a bunch of dresses to pay bills. and he tells me , he never really liked any of them anyway. and they didnt "do anything"...

    sniping....?

    I feel you. the sniping thing has made it to where I WONT shop on ebay unless I desperately need said item. I think its unfair and makes it hard to play by the rules. IMO. I hate the fact that I wait patiently, and I bid at the last minute, and someone who is not even at their computer at that...

    who mixes it up?

    isint that funny... If i dress 40s, they say, oh look at that little 50s lady! and if I dress 50s, everyone assumes I am a flapper or something from the 20s.. people are so funny about what they remember from history.
