Colorful Vintage Party Dresses and The Little Black Dress

As the end of summer nears I am starting to think about what I will be wearing this season to all of the party’s I hope to be attending, should I wear a Little Black Dress or something with color to show off my tan that I was lucky enough to find the time to achieve this summer while juggling running a flooring store and maintaining my vintage clothing biz , the one thing I do know for sure is that it will definitely be vintage!

Your prom dress doesn’t have to be a one time wear!

Back in time around 1958 people were a bit more frugal than they are now. They re-used clothing that had been purchased for special occasions. One such time I know of personally is my Mom and Dad’s wedding. My Dad’s sister, Louise, used her prom dress as her maid of honor’s dress for my parent’s wedding. Just by adding a lovely headpiece and a new pair of shoes, this prom dress became a maid of honor dress.

Suits for ALL Occasions!

While in the past decades, suits were a staple for the working girl, today it’s a different story. Suits can & do go anywhere. They’re great travel pieces with versatility. If you have a three-piece suit, with both a skirt & pants it would be ideal to pack if you’re planning a cruise. Basically they are a staple that can be dressed up or down, and mixed with other pieces that you’ve brought along.

If you want to go “glam” suits can give you a tuxedo look, or you can go with a highly decorated beaded & sequined suit with a full length skirt.

And…suits don’t have to have a traditional jacket. Some incorporate a “Poncho” look, while others take on a more dramatic look with a shawl. No matter how you cut it, suits are great little additions to your wardrobe. Scorpio Vintage is proud to present these suits for your pleasure!

Can’t pick a Favorite Vintage Fashion Era – You don’t have to!

While most of us have a favorite era when shopping for vintage clothing and accessories there are some fashions that blur the eras and can be called cuspers (on the cusp perhaps the end of the 1950s into the 1960s, etc.). Regardless of what vintage clothing era you call your own you can find what you’re looking for at Born Too Late Vintage!
