Affordable Vintage Jewelry

If you like cute vintage clothes, you probably also like cute vintage jewelry.

There are thousands of excellent, beautiful pieces available on Etsy’s online marketplace from sellers all over the world.  One of my favorite Etsy shops is Pretty Vintage Jewelry.  I’m partial to vintage bracelets, and Hollee has some lovely finds, like this caramel Bakelite one. 

And this funky, colorful charm chain. 

Check out the rest of Hollee’s selection here. 

NEXT, you might like these vintage jewelry pieces from my shop:   

The most expensive piece is the Native American silver ring ($40), and most of the others are under $10.  Clicking on the photo will take you to my vintage jewelry selection in my shop, where you can also find lots of cute vintage clothes (if I do say so myself). 

Enjoy.

How to Wear a Modern Vintage Dress

What can you do with a modern vintage dress? 

Easily as basic as a little black dress, this little brown number from the 1970s is cute all by itself.  But here I’ve mixed it up with other pieces to show how versatile a vintage dress can be.   

There are a few things to keep in mind when wearing vintage to avoid looking costume-y.  First, look for pieces that have at least a few classic elements and look timeless.  The brown dress is a classic color as well as design. 

Second, pair the vintage garment with other classic-looking vintage, or new items. 

Above:  with a vintage pink scarf.  Where would you wear this?  On a date?  To a party? 

With a 1980s-does-1940s yellow jacket and my personal favorite vintage flower brooch.  Good work outfit. 

With a not-vintage leather jacket.  

With a not-vintage cotton cardigan and vintage leather belt. 

With a big square vintage silk scarf. 

If my dress form had feet, we could look at how SHOES work with a vintage dress.  Keeping your footwear modern is probably the easiest way of all to avoid looking like you’re actually living in the past.  But that’s for another time.   ♥
