I'm so obsessed with all the clothes I have saved on pinterest they are so me but the links are either expired, or the clothes are out of stock or linked to aliexpress or some dodgy dropshipping website that 100% uses slave labour

do you have any tips for vintage shopping in general but especially as a bigger size? i really want to start collecting but i feel like i only ever see things with super small sizes

I love that you want to start collecting!!

First of all I just want to express how vintage clothing is made for people of all sizes and anyone who says people were just smaller back then is lying because this is a photo of my Great Aunt back in the 1960s!!! I wish I could find this dress because it’s sooo beautiful

I think one way to start with location. If you live in a city, I would recommend going to a more rural area with an older population. I live in the city in California and I’ve had a hard time finding good vintage pieces in the city. I usually have to go out to the suburbs/rural areas. I’m from Missouri and I had sooo much luck at suburban Midwest thrift stores. Idk where you live but I think it’s a good idea go to out into an area that’s not as populated and have older people who are more likely to donate vintage clothes.

In terms of places to shop, I usually will do thrift stores or antique malls, don’t sleep on antique malls because a lot of them have clothing!!! I usually avoid chain thrift stores and prefer to find the small locally owned ones because they have better prices and are less likely to be picked through. So I would research on what kinds of thrift places you have in your area!! You can try vintage shops but a lot of them are more expensive, especially ones in the city. But in more suburban or rural areas you can sometimes find vintage shops that sell pieces for more reasonable prices. The less populated of an area you go to, the more likely you’ll find stuff that isn’t picked over (I went to college in the middle of nowhere Missouri and my fave vintage place had dresses for 10-15$). I also recommend estate sales because they usually have a ton of vintage!!! You can download apps or look at website to see where they are in your area. Same thing with garage sales but estate sales usually have more vintage since it’s usually old people. You can also look to see if there are any vintage markets in your area. Where I live they have one about once a month!!

When looking at clothes I would keep and eye on things with an elastic waist because those will stretch and fit a lot more sizes. I would also not solely rely on numbers when shopping for vintage clothing because the sizing was different. So something might be bigger or smaller than your size in modern clothes. If you have any doubts then I would try it on, which is why I always buy my vintage in person. Even if there isn’t a fitting room I’ll usually slip it on over my clothes or hold it up to myself to get an idea on if it will fit me.

Sorry this is really long but I hope it helps 💕😭

i cannoooot wait to do my fall/winter wardrobe. everything is stored for now and i'm waiting for the weather to come down. i wanna go to the cleaners too and sell whatever i dont wear anymore. my style went from extra feminine to comfortable and androgynous... and the thrift store in my neighborhood is so good too.

OK... I started this with just one idea and it got out of control.

Blood Moon: 3 Years Later, or what I envision everyone is doing in the future.

Let's go! Lee and Ed started a paranormal investigator business. Lee is still tired, but less so. Ed changed his hair and now owns 25 different sweater vests.

My MC (whoops forgot what name I used) works at an independent bookstore. She recently tried out bangs, but she hates them.

Lee and Ed go by constantly to order books on the supernatural and the occult. Ruby finds out somehow and without a doubt, convinces the bookstore owners to sell charms (real) near the register. The bookstore starts to get a reputation for being supernatural-friendly.

My MC adopted Ed's cozy style and they act like this all the time even though they have been together for 3 years and live together.

Vicky works at a gardening center/nursery. I don't know, I feel like she likes taking care of the plants, but she loves when customers request plant installation and she gets to go out with the crew and plant trees and shrubs. Sometimes Lee & Ed need extra muscle for a job and she does that too.

...and this is where it turns into pure detective sitcom cause Marco works a different job in the city each week. Need to do a stakeout at a fancy restaurant? Marco's got you covered. Need to sneak into a school after-hours? No problem! Doing too much research and feeling peckish? Marco works at the bakery too.
