Favorite vintage piece: My favorite vintage piece has got to be my orange slip dress. It was on Ebay for less than ten dollars. The lace details are so pretty and it's super versatile.

Favorite vintage store, brick and mortar or online: I'm not sure if I have one. I love Etsy for vintage pieces compared to Ebay where much of it is not vintage, Etsy is vintage and handmade only.

Favorite decade: My favorite decade has got to be the 1950s, I am usually in sweet girly pieces, a-line skirts to the knee with sweet delicate purses. I really would love to be a seventies girl and I do try to integrate some bohemian pieces into my outfits. I wear something vintage on most days, it helps me to have a better day if I really love what I am wearing.

Vintage icon: My vintage icon is an easy one, Marilyn Monroe! I know it is an obvious choice but I cannot help it! I love her curvy shape and the amazing dresses she would pour herself into.

What do you love about vintage? I love vintage for many reasons, more likely the item is unique would be the biggest reason, I like items that no one else is wearing. The quality of fabrics can be superior, the shapes are better suited to my curvy figure, the looks are classic as opposed to trendy.
