Spring is Springing!

It doesn't seem possible already, but spring is almost upon us! And, with a new season comes thoughts of a new wardrobe, or at least some additions to our current one. Even though many of us experienced a mild winter in many areas, we still were, and probably still are, wearing slacks, sweaters, suits, wool or fur-felt hats, dark shoes, and dark bags. But, with flowers starting to bloom, temperatures starting to rise, and, thank goodness, the sun starting to shine on a daily basis, it's time to shop for new clothes! And, of course, we highly recommend shopping for vintage. Like spring, it's "green," saving the earth's natural resources. And, rather than bowing to whatever the current trends are, vintage has its own distinction. Whether your tastes run to classic or trendy, soft pastels or bright florals, simple or elaborate, vintage fashions offer you your choice.

The Vintage Reflections sellers will help you make your own spring fashion statement with items from our shops!

Celebrate New Year's Eve in (Vintage) Style!

We of vintage age remember the days when our parents, and then, later, we ourselves, would go out on the town for New Year's Eve. That meant getting "dressed to the nines" and going out for dinner and a party afterwards. Even the most casual of restaurant dinners or a typical house party called for dressing up. Short dresses, maxi skirts, or evening slacks were standard fare for those events. And then there were the formal galas, held at fancy ballrooms or the most elegant restaurants in town. Ladies in evening gowns and their finest jewelry, men in formal suits or tuxedos, an orchestra to which to dance....

I remember my mom and her friends breaking out their fancy stoles or wraps, beaded and sequined clutch bags, and dressiest heels. My sister and I were in awe of how lovely they looked and how their dresses "swished" as they danced out the door on their way out for the night. And, when we were older, we would get dressed up and go out as well. Although the "age of casual" was approaching even then, we women would wear cocktail dresses or casual long dresses, and the men would wear sports jackets with ties. Dinner and dancing were still standard entertainment, then we would do the rounds of the house parties, at which you almost never would find anyone wearing jeans. Can you imagine that!

Alas, those indeed were the days.... However, there are still parties and dinners to attend on New Year's Eve, and you don't have to go casual as most everyone these days does. Break out a vintage dress or gown, carry a dressy vintage bag, or wear some stunning vintage jewelry--be as bold or as subtle as you wish. No matter whether you dress in vintage or accessorize with it, you'll feel great and look great--and we're sure you'll get lots of compliments and admiring looks!

We at Vintage Reflections wish you a Happy New Year, and may have some goodies in our shops to help you ring it in!
