Belle's DearGoldenVintage Favorites

Jun 10, 2010

Over the past few months, I have become a bit of an Etsy.com addict.  And while navigating Etsy is a bit like walking down U Street at 1:00 AM on a Saturday morning–wading through the weird and creepy in search of a gem–you can find something wonderful if you are willing to search.  

One of the site’s best kept secrets is DearGoldenVintage.  This well-edited collection of vintage styles is filled with pretty, prim pieces that would add a touch of style and sweetness to any Capitol Hill wardrobe.  And unlike many vintage stores on the site, the prices won’t make your eyes bulge out of your head like a cartoon character.

 

Lemon Plisse Dress ($78)

Green Leaves Necklace ($18)

Sailcloth Coat ($88)

White Mademoiselle Chain Clutch ($25)

Mon Coeur Rouge Dress ($258)

I had to save the party dress for last.

  1. Love the necklace, in particular. Any hints for making sure things you buy online will fit?

    First, you need to know your measurements. I mean, really know them. Size is a ridiculous concept and it means nothing in vintage, so measurements not size.

    Also, ask if you can buy on approval. I always ask to buy something, try it on, and have the option to return it at my cost for shipping. This way, if it doesn’t fit, I can send it back. Most everyone is willing to deal if you ask.

    I must have that seller’s 50s polka dot dress. Seriously. It will be mine.

The Range: Spring Blouses for Work (or Zoom)

Since Sloane was born, I’ve fallen hard into a black, white, and blue wardrobe. This is not necessarily a bad thing, but as spring blooms, I need a little color in my wardrobe (and probably a little print too). Here are a few tops that caught my eye for work.

This week, I fell mindlessly into my phone more than I think I ever have. My screen time went from 3.5 hours per day to 5 hours per day. But the increased eye strain did lead to some good finds. Just going to leave this right here.  (I really need to work on “Didn’t make […]

The Find: My Best Workout Shorts

For eight years, I have worn the same workout shorts. Every year, an influencer tries to sell me new shorts. I order them. I try them on. They pale in comparison to the shorts I already own. I return them.
