I recently went looking at spring fashions at Nordstrom online and I am here to show you why you might want to start your spring shopping with vintage.
Just to be clear, this isn’t about Nordstrom. I am from Seattle, Nordstrom’s home, and I have loved Nordstrom ever since I was a child and a shoe salesman gave me a pair of shoes because I sat on some gum. They’ve always had wonderful customer service.
It’s just that I can’t help but do head-to-head comparisons with some of the items I have in my own shop. I suspect the vintage items are of equal-to or greater quality even as compared to modern well-made designer items.
Slip dresses, nautical stripes, flowered handbags, wooden box bags, lace...I could go on and on and on!
And you know what? My customer service is pretty good too—I was inspired by Nordstrom after all!

You certainly have shown some great examples here! One just has to know how to look for great vintage finds either online or at brick and mortar shops, it's really not that difficult. The price point is certainly a great motivator and so is the thrill of the hunt!
I don't think there is a single modern fashion that can't be interpreted with vintage— Thank you Mary Jane! I know you know of what you speak!
Excellent post - you are so right!
Thank you Karin!
I love this! And I think the vintage looks better than the new things!

I love what you've done here! My personal taste preference is for the older styles, so it's enlightening for me to see the modern interpretation. And wooo-eee, am I ever spoiled by "used" prices!
