Week 5 - Spring Vintage Inspirations


Week 5 of the Spring Vintage Inspirations fashion picks!

Every Wednesday, VFG Member cactusandcattails is going to post a thread on the forums calling for all vintage sellers to show off their current and upcoming auctions that fit the themes. The whole draw is that *everything* posted will be available for you to buy! Either right that minute or within the week. It's perfect for instant gratificationists like myself.

And starting this week, all the great items can be viewed in one thread on the forums! So without further adieu, here are this weeks picks:

Prints Charming & Prints Valiant

Pretty prints from fuzzylizzie's pale blue 40's feminine floral dress to this flower power paisley patio dress from Vintage Clothes-Line.

And then there's this insane 70's novelty print shirt (pictured) from NorthStar Vintage showing Edwardian ladies on mopeds! Someone please tell me when you'll see that again.

Black & White

Love this weeks offerings from Hip Vintage Boutique's op-art delight by R&K Originals to the gorgeous 40's full skirted dancers print dress from b*a*vintagequeen. And for the perfect addition to any outfit, this delightful 60's black and white daisy pin (pictured) from denisebrain.

Up the Vampage - Sexy little numbers from this 70's John Kloss terry lounging dress from denisebrain and this bombshell butterfly embroidered Irish linen wiggle by Harvey Bein from fuzzylizzie.

Beauty in the Details - Details are beautiful with both this 70's does 30's romantic floral garden dress featuring ribbons, ruffles and lace and this silk organza party dress embroidered with yellow roses from The Marque of Vintage.

Back to the Future - The future looks back to the 30's with these sublime metallic silver evening dance sandals from fuzzylizzie and this simple and versatile blue lurex 60's sleeveless top from fast_eddies_retro_rags.


Thanks to everyone who participated in helping to put this together from denisebrain for creating and putting the Spring '07 Vintage Inspirations issue together, cactusandcattails for thinking up the fabulous cross-promotion idea and running with it so fabulously and of course to all the sellers who participated with showing their wonderful goods.

See you next Tuesday for Week 6!
