September: Damn Good Vintage

With the world of vintage branching out and more and more sellers starting their own websites, we loved the idea of showing off some of our members beautiful websites and equally gorgeous stock. Each month we're going to dedicate a post showcasing some of our favorite finds from these sites. We're also going to feature a seller from each venue - Website, Auction Site and Online Mall Site - on the sidebar for the month.

We have so many wonderful sellers as part of the Vintage Fashion Guild and you can visit all of their sites here.

This month we're featuring Damn Good Vintage. And trust us, the name says it all!

September is the beginning of Fall and time to break out the sweaters and light jackets!

DGV has a nice selection of sweaters including this beautiful floral angora blend one from the 60's. It's perfect for Fall but I could also see it doing double duty in early spring. Vibrant and rich in color, this is a beauty.

Although it may seem a bit early to think about coats, it's best to shop now while the pickings are bountiful. Wait until that first frost and you could be out of luck. With the trapeze look so hot this Fall and Winter - this coat is a seriously must have. Dramatic and unique with fur cuffs and a warm goldenrod color it's the epitome of style. And what a bonus, there's a matching skirt available for sale as well!

And now onto the shoes. Definitely a great bunch to choose from, but I fell in love with these mod black and ivory plaid low heels. They're the style of a flat with just a little bit of a lift. Perfect for a dressed up affair in black & gold satin and lurex but would still work perfectly with jeans and sexy top. And that bow just tops it off. If these were in my size I'd scoop them up in a second!

To round out the stellar choices from this month's seller I had to include this seriously cool 50's sexy secretary dress in the color of the moment - navy has definite military inspired styling. This dress is so completely right now that I'm half shocked it didn't come off a Fall 2007 designer runway. So prim and proper, it's sexy!
