Buying Vintage Clothing on Instagram

I became interested in vintage everything in the very early 90's when I purchased my first home and barely had enough money to eat, let alone furnish my home and put clothes on my back.  Back then garage sales were thriving in the area I live in.  On the weekends the streets were jammed packed with double parked cars and the sidewalks were hustling with people shopping garage sales.  I picked up some of the greatest pieces of furniture for my home along with some nice clothes that I could wear to work, as well as some casual items. So out of necessity I discovered a passion that I loved and that I was very good at.

I began selling collectibles on eBay.  Lots of depression glass was being sold at garage sales for pennies. I started making some real money with it.  Then I got into vintage jewelry, first for me personally.  I love jewelry so when I was able to buy items at garage sales for 50 cent to a dollar I was jumping on it.  The sellers didn't know the value of what they were selling and I didn't know the value of what I was buying.

It wasn't until recently when I began selling on Poshmark https://poshmark.com/closet/sasyscloset did I start to google some of the names inscribed in the jewelry I had from my own personal collection. That's when I found out just how valuable some of it was. Most of it I cannot part with, and other items I am willing to let go.

Recently I turned my attention to back vintage clothes.  As I began my selling experience on Poshmark https://poshmark.com/closet/sasyscloset I kept shopping other closets for inspiration and kept seeing some beautiful closets filled with vintage clothing.  My passion was reignited after I made some purchases for my own personal use. 

I know that Etsy is really big on selling Vintage clothing and I have listed some items on there for sale as well.  I recently have come across an article about how many folks are selling vintage on Instagram.  It's an entirely new venue that seems to be working great for these folks.

If you are like me and love to wear unique clothing and accessories, if you enjoy standing apart from the crowd with your own individualized style and enjoy find one-of-kind clothing that no one else will be wearing, then you might very well be on your way to becoming a passionate collector of vintage.  Buying antique clothing is one way of owning a piece of history and learning how vintage fashion is defined in the process. The beauty of finding that rare treasured dress or skirt or blouse could be extravagant as it being adorned with beads, sequins or embroidery.  Or, it may be unadorned but made with a special fabric that you would not find on contemporary styles of today. When you buy vintage, you are actually purchasing a piece of history.  Think about it.  Who wore that garment that you now own?  For what occasion was it worn?  What did the wearer look like? Perhaps she was sneaking off to a private rendezvous in the dress you now own.  Your...

What's in Sasy's Closet Today?

Well hello folks!  I have some great Vintage Summer Fun Hats to show you that I think you are going to love.  Hats to me are such a statement of being confident enough to pull it off.  I just loved the #royalwedding fashion that we saw last week.  #Megan Markle can wear any hat and look beautiful and mostly it's because she is a woman who is extremely comfortable in her own skin and it shows. The women in attendance of the #royalwedding all exuded confidence in the style and grace.  Hats are the added accessory that just completes a great outfit, and says  to the world "Hey, look at me, I am a confident woman" Well I have always loved wearing hats for statement dating back to the late 70's I went on a first date with a boy from Bensonhurst Brooklyn wearing a cool News Boy Cap.  My friend Leonora and I went shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue for clothing for that date, and I saw this awesome hat that I knew I had to wear to comple...
