Vintage cardigans add a touch of nostalgia to anyone’s wardrobe. When vintage cardigans are concerned images such as Mr. Rogers or Mr. Cleaver on Leave it to Beaver come to mind. For women, a three-quarter length sleeve in cardigans recalls the 1940’s when stylish hats and slinky skirts were also part of the most popular fashion statement of the time. Cardigans are still popular today yet vintage suggests something more, a touch of class, a gateway back to the past, the nostalgic feel of knowing that someone before you owned that garment and probably harbored sentimental feelings for it before selling it online or on consignment in a thrift store.
 SEQUINED FLORAL PASTEL PRINCESS VINTAGE 1960S CARDIGAN SWEARER SZ 38 US $58.00 |
It’s not difficult to get hold of vintage cardigans. It is quite likely that the real deal, an actual vintage cardigan from the 1950’s and earlier might be, but isn’t always, costly. The internet is a wonderful resource for snagging yourself a vintage cardigan. I saw the most stunning vintage cardigan I’ve ever seen on any website, a soft beige color with a faux fur collar and three imitation pearl buttons. The fit was form-fitting and would look terrific on a slim or medium-build woman. Matched with vintage cowboy boots, the look is complete.
Enjoy your hunt and bask in the beauty of your new/old one-of-a-kind vintage cardigan!
Ebay has an impressive number of matches for vintage cardigans and many of them are absolutely adorable. Personally I couldn’t part with some of the cardigans I found here. One in particular made me smile. It was a nice winter cardigan with a thick, gray collar and a matching gray beret, a sweater only a grandmother could wear.
Garage sales have been known to unearth unique items. You have to get up early in the morning and plan on making several stops if you want a vintage shirt from a garage sale. Auctions are awesome because they always display vintage and used items. That’s what auctions are for. If you’re going to snag a vintage cardigan a clothing auction is your best bet. Or rummage through your grandmother’s attic and see what you can find there. She might have a 40-year-old cardigan and not even know about it.
Used clothing and thrift stores such as Value Village, the Salvation Army and the Goodwill are other possibilities. Don’t be skeptical about these places. My cousin once found a cool vintage bowling shirt from the 1950’s with a matching bolero-style jacket. It was in excellent shape and lined. I’ve never seen anything so incredible for such a cheap price. She paid $12.00 for the whole outfit! Believe me when I say I just ate my heart out.
When you hear the word “vintage” what comes to mind? For some people it’s “old”. For others, “used.” Still others think “cheap”, “expensive”, “outdated”, or “tasteful”. The fact of the matter is all of these people may be quite correct! Depending on your finds and your perspective there are vintage items around that are used, old, cheap, expensive, outdated and tasteful.

In the world of fashion where styles usually come and go, the same goes with vintage shoes. It’s too early to tell which vintage fads will reign in 2012. That’s why we’re here to present to you the hottest shoe trends that brought storm to the fashion world earlier this year.

For those who prefer low profile footwear, lower-heeled pumps are recommended. This is a good alternative to high heeled shoes. Regular lower-heeled pumps are less chunky than the vintage shoes and are more efficient. You can wear a pair of these if you’re getting uncomfortable with stilettos. It’ll be great if this shoe style will also make it big this year.
3. Standard Wedges

Before the war even began, wedges or more commonly called as “wedgies” already made waves in the fashion industry. Fashion designers used cork and wood instead of leather. This type of footwear is very popular because of its various styles, textures and colors. There are wedges that are fully-covered while some are peep-toes. This type of shoes is very versatile and can be paired with any kind of outfit. It will not come as a shock if these adorable shoes will make a comeback this year.
So these are the three fabulous shoes to look out for in 2012. Vintage footwear will never go out of style. They are and will always remain timeless pieces. They will surely rock the fashion scene in no time.

A blazer is generally a double breasted jacket that was initially worn by men and boys of the 19th century. Blazers were very popular in England. The name blazer comes from the bright colors that composed the early jackets. However, today we find many women who wear vintage blazers. These usually come in neutral colors. In earlier days, blazers were bright in color and came in striped patterns.

Earlier one would find boys in private schools wearing blazers that were teamed up with short length pants and long socks. Today, even girls who attend private schools and boarding schools have blazers as a part of their uniforms. The fabric that composes a blazer may differ from linen to woolen to flannel, etc.
It was not until the late 1970s that vintage blazers were widely worn also by women. The film Annie Hall triggered the fashion for women to wear blazers. One could also see that even through the film Working Girl, there is a clear concept of the eighties style of womens blazers. By the eighties all women would be wearing blazers to their respective official work places. Blazers came in different colors, had buttons and big shoulder pads. Women usually wore vintage blazers made of wool flannel, cashmere or lighter fabrics such as cotton, polyester or rayon. Womens blazers were more fitted than mens blazers. Today we find that women usually wear jackets that are either short in length or are fitted. The jackets that are long in length are not easily available, but one can be sure that designers will soon get them back in the fashion world.
One can wear them with a shirt and a tie or even without a tie. Blazers look smart with denims or trousers.

80’s Fashion Sunglasses
Though sunglasses date way back, the 80s is when they really caught on, albeit as a fashion item. Some of the fashions that were most popular back then are slowly creeping back into the fashion world. These include:
Aviators
Named aviators because of the teardrop shape that they have, these vintage 80s sunglasses have been used in the military since the 1970's but made their mark in the 80's. They were made most popular by Tom Cruise with his top hit movie 'Top Gun' in which he wears aviator sunglasses. The late king of pop, Michael Jackson also wore these fashionable 80's sunglasses. Most people who had stocked their Aviators away are now finding themselves wiping the dust off their aviator sunglasses since they are now back in fashion.
Wayfarers
These shades were definitely all the craze in the 80's. If you were to be considered cool in the 80's, then your choice of sunglasses would have been Ray Ban's Wayfarer. If you don't know what Wayfarer sunglasses are then you either didn't grow up in the 80's or you had absolutely no sense for fashion.
Robot Sunglasses
These were 80's sunglasses that would make the wearer look very robotic. The frame merged with the ear pieces and they came in all sorts of colors. These were also quite popular in the 80's though they fizzled away and are yet to make a big come back. They are still a favorite of 80's fanatics. Choose from buy cheap vintage clothing, and find what fits you.
Shutter Shades
These have definitely made a big comeback after Kanye West was spotted in them in his video for 'Stronger'. The trend caught on and even Paris Hilton was spotted with a pair. They are really cool sunglasses that were very popular in the 80's.
