Possibly out in the country but even then there is a lot less vintage in Australia in general than there is in America, I think. But, oh, how I agree with you about what vintage has become. It's something I think about a lot. I'm lucky that I can still afford lovely things every now and then but I do wonder how long it will be before I can't afford it at all. Eep. Hope that day doesn't come!<br />ANYway, you look amazing. That is such a divine dress and suits you perfectly.<br />-Andi xAndi B.

I don't find your mention of cheap prices annoying in the least--in fact, it prompts me to pass up certain pricey items, in search of the steals I can occasionally find. I too find the 'vintage trend' sad, and the high prices ridiculous. I pretty much avoid 'vintage' shops because they are almost always overpriced, unlike antique shops that don't specialize in clothing.<br /><br />I'm wishing you the happiest of New Years, Dakota!<br /><br />p.s.: Thank you thank you for your parcel! I adore it and it fits perfectly (only the hem needs to be taken up slightly, because I'm on the shorter side!). <3Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01587092304731001245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838907812842203131.post-49527929397494090782012-01-02T17:11:46.521-05:002012-01-02T17:11:46.521-05:00What a beautiful outfit!!

You do not come across as braggish at all. I am with you on the frugality of vintage, if it wasn't for me working at a Vintage shop (that gives me a very generous discount ) I realy wouldnt be able to afford all the beautiful things that I own and I know I am very lucky. <br /><br />Sadly London has become such a victim to the fashion forward vintage trend that you mentioned. The prices get higher and higher, the market more saturated and it means less of us who are truly passionate about it can afford to buy it. :( Sad times. <br /><br />It is lovely to see you finding such cheap and beautiful things and even more so because they are going to such a good home.<br />Happy New Year lovely, your blog is honestly one of my favourites and always such a pleasure to read xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14221762137802275288noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838907812842203131.post-31596273017456826102012-01-02T15:32:29.681-05:002012-01-02T15:32:29.681-05:00You look stunning, this dress fits you perfectly! ...You look stunning, this dress fits you perfectly! I also live in a quite rural area and in FRANCE where vintage clothing is not really popular except perhaps in Paris where prices are really high for vintage. Sometime I can find vintage in thrift store or flea markets but it's often accessories: hats, costume jewelery, umbrellas, gloves... Moreover I have quite a large size compare to tiny 50's waist so Ebay and Etsy are really good friends for me... unfortunatly, large sizes often mean high price!<br />So I wear a 50's mexican outfit for a costume New Year Eve, here are some pictures: <br />http://lostin1950.blogspot.com/2012/01/mexican-new-year-eve.htmlLaurencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09936447176191219940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1838907812842203131.post-67571720210489975072012-01-02T14:39:15.733-05:002012-01-02T14:39:15.733-05:00Very beautiful
