This week's update is smaller than usual so look for a few more to be added later this week!

We all like a good deal and snagging vintage at a discount is particularly thrilling. Each week we'll be adding a few items to our clearance section at least 40% off. But don't delay if you see something you like, they're only in for a month before they disappear from the shop for good.

One of my customers once wrote to tell me that the reason she came to my shop is that it reminded her of a candy store, full of color. And I realized it was true that while many shops veer toward neutrals, most of my vintage purchases are in bright, bold colors and patterns.

I was just contemplating these two tops, separated by twenty years but still in the same family.

I'd like to be a 1940s Daphne or a 1930s Velma. You?

In her delightfully titled “Scooby Doo, When Are You?” series, artist Julia Wytrazek has perfectly imagined what Velma, Daphne, Shaggy, and Fred would have worn from 1910 through to the ’90s. I might be biased, but I like Velma’s looks the best.

There's rarely a Claire McCardell piece that I don't love and it's interesting to see how her design sentiments translate into today's fashion both physically and in terms of what she wanted clothing to do.

"Honing her sartorial voice during the Great Depression, McCardell translated the ease, affordability and comfort of sportswear into daily costumes appropriate for work, school and casual recreation. She was able to design for the modern woman in large part because as she claims, her ideas 'come from trying to solve my own problems.'"

When it was time to suit up for work, politics or social engagements, Claire McCardell's fans embraced her chic, but comfortable style

It's been quiet at the Vint Condition shop for quite awhile, but we've been working on a few fun things and, of course, collecting some gorgeous vintage clothes. Until then, we'll be posting interesting vintage clothing and costuming links like this one!
